[An Nahar] Lebanese ForcesA Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb... leader  Samir Geagea... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ... stated on Wednesday that Hizbullah should not take part in any upcoming cabinet because it "rejected the state," slamming March 8's "practices that model those of the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... s." "Hizbullah's messages were clear and the party should not take part in any cabinet," Geagea said in a presser he held in Maarab. Referring to Hizbullah, Geagea elaborated: "A political group had said that it is not interested in the authority of the state. It overstepped the border, the independence, the National Pact, the laws, the Baabda Declaration and the constitution." "A cabinet should be formed with the participation of those interested in the Lebanese state's interests only, not in the interests of Syria, Iran, the United States, or the Kingdom of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ." Geagea urged Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam to form "a harmonious cabinet that works for the Lebanese people's interests." Posted by: Fred 2013-06-13 |
