Aoun: Bush, Sarkozy Incapable of Escalation
Opposition leader MP Michel Aoun on Friday dismissed George Bush's threats, saying the U.S. President and his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy were "incapable of escalating" the situation in Lebanon. Aoun, after a meeting of his parliamentary bloc in Rabiyeh, predicted the postponement of Saturday's presidential elections session. "There is no agreement and all dialogue lines are broken" he justified.Aoun added that electing a president by simple majority is no longer a viable option. The Christian leader didn't rule out a possibility to meet Lebanese Forces Leader Samir Geagea if the latter "takes his own decisions" independently from his allies. Posted by: Fred 2007-12-23 |
