عون يرى أن 14 آذار "هربت" من مجلس النواب بسبب أزمة الإنفاق

why do you refuse to audit the 11billion?
delay everything till you audit those, then deal with all this matter together.
and if anyone is proven a thief then let us put him in jail, but after audting all your ministers dealings too.
what applies to one party should apply to the rest :)

let justice get hold of this dossier and let justice gives its verdict and especially when there is a verdict to punish the culpirt as a lesson for the future

just let the world bank investigate the problem as a minister said
i think all the parties trust the world bank

Back in 2005 he proposed an audit only from 1993 on, when anyone suggested an audit from 1990 the escaping runaway general went nuts. Just to jog some lazy memories his current allies were accusing him of embezzling the millions he was given by the central bank to pay his soldiers.

I believe most of those who were in the government since lebanon's independence have been involved one way or another in plundering the public treasury.
Those who do not have a sin should be scrutinizing, where are they?

Grandstanding is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

thieves auditing thieves..."escape"is not a good wording choice for the old general,its nostalgic.

Here he is barking as usual... Roll over and die you old senile fart...

Well, first Aoun should never use the word "escaped" to describe someone else's conduct. He is, after all the October 13, 1991 escape artist, leaving behind his family and the Lebanese army fighting without any orders to do what he was doing, namely to give up the fight and save themselves.

About the bill itself, Aoun makes a very poor judge. He demands an accounting in order to determine what happened with the budgets, but he has already passed judgment before looking at the records. He has already judged theft of the funds.

And Aoun should not be one to accuse others of theft. The people at the Utilities Ministry knows better.

soe have misunderstood my above comment: we should audit all, and this means we should audit aun period first. why is he refusing???? M14 have reiterated they accept to be audited and all records exist (contrary to what is claimed and confirmed by the current finance minister) so please stop debating to say nothing guys.

General!!! God protect you...I love you :****

Well General people who are afraid are used to hide away. And, Geagea or Harb can’t hide the fact that Siniora and Harriri did not submit their public accounts to parliament for approval. Also when asked to show her parts of the account Mrs HAffar only sent out some tables and figures with NO SUPPORTING DOCS, meanwhile Mr.Sfadi is doing his duty to the fullest (knowing that he’s been in duty for only 10months). So one word to Siniora, Harriri, Geagea and Harb: “if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime”.

11 billion escaped. Won't 50 or so thieves and crooks?

stupid guy! there was no parliament to submit to: remember your berri closed the doors :)

Orat nassabeen w 7aramiyyeh killon sawa...... But I am not surprized as "kama takounoun yowalla 3alaykom!!"
And for those who suggest that we can put the culprits in jail, there is not a jail big enough to fit them in!!

For people interested in learning more about Aoun's character I direct you to please read or listen to the speeches Charbel Nahhas gave since resigning.

wow!! what a polite gentleman or is this a lunatic

The thieves are caught. THE THIEVES ARE CAUGHT. Where have the thieves disappeared? bel ro7, bel dam, nafdkom ya thieves

Hey pajama boy......you "escaped" in the night and left your women and troops on the ground. Who are you to point fingers?

Aoun, like geha said there was no parliament at that time and you and your party were always in government trying to cripple the government. No one should be above the law that mean you Aoun, Hizballa etc... The problem ya Aoun is you do things out of revenge for not supporting you as Presidento/Dictator of Lebanon and not because you care about Lebanon.

ya SlowBlow, I don't read minds and no one can even attempt to read your master Aoun's mind because he doesn't have one...he has no brain just big head...NO BRAIN :) LOL

Aoun sitcom and it's not even Tuesday !!!!

What about when Berri shut down parliament for months? What was that about? Don't remember Aoun saying anything against that. What a joke the Lebanese parliament is and in large part due to Berri's stupidities.

The thieves are caught! The crooks are caught! Where did all the thieves and crooks disappear today? Oh, they went to overthrow the Syrian regime? Then, they are forgiven because they are committed to completing a job that they started since before the days of Rafic Syria & Co., Syria's best Rafic Co.! We wish them success, as with all their previous failed endeavors.

I think we can all agree that they are all thieves. Any politician with more money than can be justified by a normal P.M salary is either someone who stole public funds or is getting fed by foreign Governments in exchange for influence and favors (ie. selling the country). They get richer and more powerful and the populace is too busy defending their pimp politician on the basis that the others are bigger pimps..... while they have to beg their pimp for a job or wasta.
I say start by ensuring the plundering stops first, then investigate all of them. However this requires that the whole system be scrapped whereby judges are able to indite crooks fairly (not blinded by M8 and M14 affiliations) and courts are able to carry the judgements and security forces are able to enforce the courts orders without causing a civil war. Until that happens it is just arguments that lead nowhere.

"Aoun"...."escapes"

For a moment there, I thought I was reading an old headline commemorating the Generals daring escape to Paris.

Deserters should never use that word, too bad your tongue did not fall out of your mouth.

It is true that there are many thieves in politics, but not many or any would steal money out of their own soldiers pockets and then leave them behind at the mercy of Assad's military.

Aoun you are the worst of hypocrites, when you die and go to hell... Satan is going to kiss you on the mouth.
