"الوطني الحر":ميقاتي يتجاوز صلاحياته ويعتدي على صلاحيات الآخرين في الحكومة

Miqati's one-way ticket into oblivion a la Saad Hariri is being booked as we write. He will soon get the boot of his pathetic life that will send him and his "cause of ahl al Sunna above that of all honorable Lebanese" continent-hopping with his tail between his legs. Lebanon will rise despite the filth that Rafic Syria left behind him, may he rot in hell.

The constitution vests most powers in the council of ministers - not just the prime minister (who still plays a strong role).

When article 64 says that [the PM] "shall follow up the activities of administrations and public institutions, and shall coordinate among the Ministers"; it means the PM does not **replace** every minister.

This is further reinforced by article 65 which states that “Executive authority is vested in the Council of Ministers. […] Among the powers […]: 1. It sets the general policy of the Government in all fields, prepares Bills and organizational Decrees […]”

So practically each minister in the council is responsible over his jurisdiction – not the PM himself. In opposition, when the PM takes the initiative to propose laws that fall in the jurisdiction of an existing minister, totally ignoring him (case of labor's minister), he becomes the de facto ruler of the country – by replacing his minister and assuming his role as he pleases.

All to say therefore, that when the PM speaks on behalf of the whole government, he makes a reference to what has been produced by the council, ie the collective actions of his ministers - not to what he decides or thinks on his own, alone.
But in Lebanon, sectarian sensitivities and affiliations are above the constitution – and everything else by the way. Gladly, there is one only thing that 8/3 and 14/3 agree on: they agree to disagree and therefore their concept-country called "Lebanon" is their only victim. Because their blinded followers hate each other’s and forget that after all... they are all (conceptually speaking) Lebanese.
Enjoy.

rebels think they can attack our allies, but all their efforts will fail and they are with the filthy zionist information war department.

They want to arrest Siniora for alleged crimes committed when he was prime minister and now they gripe about Mikati and his handling of the job. Always some fringe complaint and never anything constructive from this nit picking assemilation of Aoun syncophants.

While the Aoun family members picks the ministries in which they have assumed power clean by underhanded dealings, they can only seem to criticize others for allegedly doing the same things that the Aounists themselves do. As the bible says, Matthew 7:3 "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"

@sweating-demon. Yes, "alleged crimes". A person is not a criminal until adjudicated a criminal by a legal tribunal. Ha Siniora been charged, much less tried and convicted by anyone other than the Aouni?

Who is suffering from brainwashing here? Aounists or constitutionalists? Certainly not you, demon sweating. To be brainwashed, first you must have a brain as evidenced by the ability to think.

"as for berri, we all agree he's a handicap on the FPM and he's overtly on bad terms with FPM especially after aoun defeated him in jezzine. the enemy of your enemy should be your friend, RIGHT :P ? you should LOVE berri. after all, he's a mafioso like most of the M14 'elite'..."

sweating_demon: You dug your own grave now

Aoun is suffering from inferiority complex as usual

the filthy zionist information war department is talking about inferiority complex on aoun.

this time i have to agree on them. they know what are they talking about. from their own personal experience

the filthy zionist information war department is talking about "alleged crimes" when defending their allies.

but,

when some illegal international court make indictment on no evidence against their enemies, there is no "alleged" for them.

TO NAHARNET EDITORS:

the filthy zionist pretending to be my fanclub has sent death threat to "sweating demon".

are you going to do something about that?

I agree (but not with sweating the demon)
