جعجع يُعلن رسميا ترشيح عون للرئاسة في"اتفاق تاريخي" بين "القوات" و"الوطني الحر"

At least Geagea will have done one thing right, we can give him that.

Tataratataaaa! :D

What are you doing ya Hakim?

Congratulations to General Aoun. Now, Christians have a real leader. Thank you to Geagea too !!!

Geagea: We (...) urge against the use of arms no matter what the insecurities are.

Aoun: We support all the principles that Geagea had stipulated.

Let's wait and see what happens next...

The iranian thugs keep saying Dr. Geagea is a Saudi agent and on their payroll. It seems KSA is now nominating michel aoun for president. strange..

let's wait and see what happens next is "full of negativity"!? em... ok...whatever...

جعجع: ما عزز اقتناعنا بهذه الخطوة، هو التطور الإيجابي في العلاقة بين التيار الوطني الحر والقوات اللبنانية، لا سيما من خلال ورقة إعلان النوايا التي وقعت في حزيران من العام 2015 وما تضمنته مقدمة الورقة من حرص على تنقية الذاكرة والتطلع نحو مستقبل يسوده التعاون السياسي أو التنافس الشريف.

I disagree here with Geagea here. Just because the relationship between the LF and the fpm has improved you do not nominate someone who is allied with a terrorist militia and whose objective is to establish an islamic shia state in Lebanon mirroring wilayat al faqih.

It would have been more honorable to announce his withdrawal from M14 ( or what's left of it ) instead of nominating someone diametrically opposed to his beliefs. There is no M14 or M8 anymore. There is hezbollah and its state.

Fine, will Aoun and Hezbollah now head to parliament and elect Aoun along with the LF?

This is what happens when the Saudis don't pay on time.

This is a lesson for all those followers who kill and die, who destroy their life and future in order to support their leaders.
I am glad that these two parties are reconciling and uniting together, I regret all the death and destruction, the years that it took for this to happen.

And you are special kind of Iranian traitor and Sectarian to the bone.

What are Aoun's chances of becoming a president now that he has Geagea's and Hizbullah's support?

I believe Aoun reached some political agreement with Geagea that would benefit the LF in the next cabinet (no. of ministers). And within Geagea's plan, would be to have actual productive ministers that caters to the publics interest (not like all the current ministers) which would win over future potential voters for the LF.
Short term: Aoun gets the seat.
Long Term: LF gain followers.

Now if Aoun becomes is President, we will have to wait and see if he will backstab the Lebanese Christians in some way or another to please Iran(he has to thank Hizballah's weapons and stubbornness someway).

At least Aoun isnt as extreme as Franjieh when it comes to the Assad Iranian proxy.

My last hope at this stage is for the independents to nominate Ziad Baroud (a true statesman)

very smart strategic move by geagea.

he makes a deal with a man who has one foot in the grave, and he gets to inherit some of his supporters when he dies.

smaaaart ....

Mr Berrie can call the Parliament and have the vote for President once and for all and let's move forward with rectifying the issues for the people of Lebanon . . . Hope all solutions are purely Lebanese

The heat is really on Berri at the moment. He is a part of March 8 coalition and should act accordingly instaed of giving his MPs "freedom to choose". Jumblatt, Gemayels will also feel the pressure.

In my opinion neither of them is presidential material. But considering the situation in the country, this is better than nothing. Let's see how the rest of m14 reacts to this. This is not a done deal just yet.

Good move for Geagea. Supporting the stronger side, especially after Hariri abandoned him in favor of Franjieh.

I don't like Jumbo, but I agree with only one statement he said in the past, who guesses what was it will win a $5 gift card :)

Mystic, most Christians are LF, not doubt by far. This is a good thing. However, I laugh that Geagea is talking about implementing the Taif. There is no hope of ever disarming HA IMHO. It will be even tougher now. I think the smarter move, is to arm ourselves, and coordinate with HA the eradication of armed militias in Palestinian camps. Implement our own security within those camps. And cleanse our land from takfiri/ISIS and Nusra. HA just needs to leave our liquor stores alone, and let us drink arak, and let the women wear bikinis at the beach if they like, and we can all live together. Mystic, just take care of that for me, and maybe we can be happy. Kaysuk!

This doesn't mean much. Do you believe that between Aoun and Geagea the issue of. The Lebonese Presidency hangs? It is a regional, if not an international issue. The decision regionally is with KSA and Iran. GEagea cannot give Aoun the Presidency over a regional veto. It is not KSA with the. Eto, but Iran. iRan does not want the Lebanese State to rise back. Any President, even Aoun is a step in that direction.

Can't wait to hear what Jumbalat have to say. after all it is his idea to nominate frangiyeh

@ Hashtag_brsoumian.you got it, and I believe you are the only one who has brain and uses it I do respect you and I donated $$$ to a poor lebanese family that I am sure they will benefit from it. every body else on naharnet is full of stupidity and hateress. let's see how many thumb down I will receive now.

. Guess, and Win a $5 gift card What is the common thing between 3oun, ge3ge3 and franjaye

All 3 of them are criminals and killed thousands of Lebanese people. Vote No for all of them them. I hope Lebanese people will wake up one day and and all the garbage that we have is gone.......Nah that won't happen

and still Hezbollah will not go to parliament and vote its favorite pet.
