General Michel Aoun accused the United States of destabilizing Lebanon, just like it did in Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq hoping to create an internal conflict that will facilitate the settlement of the Palestinians in Lebanon. In an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, Aoun accused the US of resisting any move to get Hezbollah out of its current political isolation and of giving full support to the Siniora administration, that the opposition ( Aoun and Hezbollah ) have been opposing for about one year
Aoun regretted the Bush executive order to freeze the assets of all opposed to the government of prime minister Siniora, The US treasury has decided to put on its watch list those that donate funds to Aoun.
He was asked if Syria continues to interfere in Lebanon and about his meeting with a Syrian representative in Germany during his recent visit as reported by Saudi Arabia. He denied the meeting and said that he lost many votes because of Syria's support for him. Yesterday two of Syria's staunch allies threw their full support behind Aoun saying he is the candidate of the opposition and should follow the path of the pro-Syrian president Emile Lahoud. Wiam Wahab and Talal Arslan , former ministers during the Syrian occupation announced their full support for him. Today another pro-Syrian politician, Michel Murr threw his full support behind Aoun. |
