Geagea: Dispute over Govt. Must Be Resolved before Resuming National Dialogue
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea stated on Friday that he “understands” President Michel Suleiman’s call for dialogue “because I am aware of the amount of dangers surrounding Lebanon.”
He said before reporters in Maarab: “The dispute over the government must be resolved before dialogue can he held.”
“The conditions needed to hold the dialogue are unavailable,” he remarked.
Geagea explained that the other camp is obligated to implement past dialogue agreements on tackling Hizbullah and Palestinian possession of arms.
The least the government can do at the moment is implement the agreement reached over the Palestinian arms, he noted.
He continued: “The current government opposes dialogue given the way it was formed and the majority of the decisions it has made.”
“This government has nothing to do with dialogue as its members can’t even hold talks among each other,” he added.
“The first step to resuming the talks lies in the government’s resignation and the formation of a neutral one,” he stressed.
Addressing the travel restrictions imposed by Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE against its citizens heading to Lebanon, the LF chief said: “This means that these countries do not trust the current government.”
“The March 14 camp is aware of the significance of this development. Other Arab countries will take similar measures, so is it in Lebanon’s interest for this government to continue in power?” wondered Geagea.
The four Gulf countries imposed the travel restriction after recent unrest in northern Lebanon in light of clashes in the northern city of Tripoli between the rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, which left some 10 people dead and over 70 wounded.
Geagea congratulated the Lebanese people on the “glorious” occasion of the Resistance and Liberation day, noting that “over 50 percent of the Lebanese people consider the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon on April 26, 2005 to be another glorious day, which should be marked as a national holiday/”
Phalange Party MPs Samer Saadeh and Sami Gemayel had presented on May 15 a draft law on turning the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon into a national holiday.

So according to this retard's logic, the Lebanese must kill one another to resolve other issues and then they can conduct a dialog. min addak ya 7akawati

Dialogue "an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, especially a political or religious issue, with a view to reaching an amicable agreement or settlement."
Explain FT, that process, when one party to the dialogue has a gun, the other does not, and the party with the gun had displayed a known propensity, should the dialogue not arrive to the armed party's desired destination, to pull out his gun and force the issue to be resolved in the way that the armed person wants?
This is not a dialogue, it is coersion under the ruse of consensus. This is the Hezbollah modus operandi to rule by coersion, but under the guise of a government.
I do not blame M14 at all for not wishing to engage in this self serving fraudulent Hezbollah sponsored exercise.
Rather, I commend them.

Why in heavens name would ANYONE want to engage in dialogue with the likes of you FT. All you advocate is the elimination of those who do not share your opinion. No tolerance for opinions that do not align with yours and an inclination towards violent solutions. Unless and until HA arms are on the dialogue table there can be no dialogue.

Good talk Dr. Geagea, but i must disagree on one thing. yes i am with the removal of Hezbollah weaponry but under the integration inside the lebanese army as a very strong regiment in the south. And foremost, i suggest we must tackle the dialogue table with no conditions exept first of all the palestinians weapons inside and outside. This must be our priority. All non lebanese militias dissolved first. with this kind of recommandation, we will see where Hezbollah stands. if it is ok with that, it means , ultimately , it will accept after the removal of its weapons because palestinian weapons in a sunnite-chiite conflict if it occurs , will be turned against them and they cannot hand their weapons to the lebanese army before the palestinians issue is resolved. I understand that and everybody must understand that first. Hezbollah has credit at least to have liberated the south in 2000. what do the palestinian militias have credit for exept ruining Lebanon ? .

Lets all unite first on this issue. And as for the withdrawal of the syrian army, yes it should be a national day, because more than half of the lebanese have suffered because of them, and their withdrawal was a historic day as well. We have to respect the views and resistance of every sect. Not just one. In order to understand Hezbollah, they must understand our fears, our victories, our ennemies as well, only then we will be able to understand them as well and all unite again

And the best way Dr. Hallucinando sees fit to resolve the government dispute is by igniting a fresh round of civil strife. Dialogue will then come naturally in the form of a second Taef Accord that is more humiliating to the Christian than the previous one. Thank you Savant!

My house is 50 meters near the Electricity Gen Station, Everytime Israel bombs the station to destroy the infrastructure I do not just blame the evils but also the root cause of their evilness. Hassouna boys has never come to me and paid for the three story building that its entire walls are cracked from the missiles that land in the Gen Station for every marathon in the South between Iran and Israel. Let's stop this resistance BS because the example above proves to a 10yr old that the Leb Army is the sole responsible entity to protect the Country otherwise everyone should be armed and everyone will immigrate because we'll have no Country as we're back to the war.
