Mustaqbal: Hizbullah's Arms Must Be Only Article on National Dialogue's Agenda
2011-07-20
[An Nahar] The Mustaqbal
... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri...
bloc welcomed on Tuesday President Michel Suleiman's desire to call the different political parties to resume the national dialogue.

It said in a statement after its weekly meeting headed by former Premier Fouad Saniora: "In order for the dialogue to be successful, Hizbullah's arms must be the only issue on its agenda."

It added that a deadline should be set in order for the dialogue's agreements to be implemented.

Furthermore, it demanded that the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
also participate at the talks.

The national dialogue was launched in 2006, bringing together the dispute Lebanese parties in order to tackle pending issues in Leb.

The talks were interrupted however by the eruption of the July 2006 war.

The Mustaqbal bloc also addressed last week's release of the seven kidnapped Estonians, noting that they were freed without the knowledge of the Lebanese authorities.

"They were released without the people finding out who kidnapped them and how," it pointed out.

"The government is therefore required to answer these questions clearly and honestly seeing as it is responsible before all the Lebanese unless, God forbid, it had nothing to do with the Estonians' release, which could be interpreted as a sign that it was complicit with the crime," the statement added.

The seven Estonians were kidnapped in Leb in March soon after they arrived in the country from Syria.

They were held captive for four months until their release on July 14.

* WAFF > POSTER OPED = SEVEN REASONS WHY IRAN'S [all-but-absolutely-guaranteed future] NUCLEAR WARHEAD MISSLES ARE ALL PROGRAMMED TO HIT HAIFA.

ARTIC = Besides being an Israeli target by virtue of just being Israeli, Poster claims Haifa is ...
> Center for the World BAHAI FAITH.
> City is next to VALUABLE LEBAN-ISRAELI DISPUTED OIL FIELDS which Iran (1) would like econ access to [read, CONTROL]; or in the altern (2) destroy in case of major war agz Israel.
> Homeport for Israel's Nuclear-armed Submarines which can be used to strike Iran [+ Hezbollah in Lebanon].
> Location of one of two MAJOR ISRAELI NUCPLANTS [Hakishon]SUPPLYING NUCENERGY TO ENTIRE COUNTRY.
> Already a LONG-STANDING FAVORITE TARGET FOR ROCKET, OTHER TERROR ATTACKS BY IRAN PROXY HEZBOLLAH.

And IMO perhaps the greatest reason of all, Haifa is the hometown of "KISS" BAND MEMBER GENE SIMMONS, guitarist extraordinaire' + self-proclaimed studly master lover, bedder of 000's of women.
