Aoun: Lebanon’s Future Connected to Forces Confronting Israel’s Policies
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stressed on Sunday that Lebanon’s future is “closely linked to the Resistance and the powers that are confronting Israel’s policies.”
He told al-Nour radio: “We cannot survive as a nation without these powers and without the Resistance’s support.”
“This need resulted in the equation of the people, army, and Resistance,” he noted.
Aoun made his statements on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the end of the July 2006 war.
“Some sides have not realized the importance of this victory and its effect on the Lebanese and Lebanon’s future,” he stated.
Asked if he believes that Israel would wage another war against Lebanon, the MP responded: “I think the defeat will remain with Israel for a long time and it will be very difficult to rid itself of the memory and outcomes.”
“It was the first such defeat that it ever experienced … as long as Israel is unable to make peace with its surrounding, it will not survive,” Aoun noted.
“The Israeli people undoubtedly want peace because no peoples can live only to wage wars … but the Zionist leaderships have something else in mind,” he said.
“It’s true that they speak of peace, but they don’t really want it,” concluded the FPM leader.

Ya general, so what you are telling me is that we need to be allied with Syria, Iran and hizb....
Ya haram, ya haram....The Lebanese Army martyrs are turning in their graves now, and those are the very ones who protected you until they paid the ultimate price with their own lives.
You have no shame!!!
You have dishonored Lebanon and its people!!!
This time, I am willing to buy you a one-way ticket to Tehran.
Shame on you and on all those who blindly follow you!!!
Lebanon ALWAYS prevails in spite of you...

“We cannot survive as a nation without these powers and without the Resistance’s support.”
He is being honest for once. He clearly and openly refers to those powers meaning Syria and Iran on the regional front, and Hiz on the local scene. So, why did you wage a war on Syria in the 80's? This thug will align himself with the devil in order to achieve his objectives..... It is shameful to hear him say this.... We in Lebanon cannot align ourselves with modern, civilized, democratic nations in order to survive? Must we be aligned with nations of evil regimes that suppress their people and torture them. Is this the Lebanon that you want? The Lebanon the people who voted for you want? Did you tell the people who voted for you that you need to survive and are taking them to an alliance with the Shiite spiteful regime in Iran and the murderous regime in Syria?? Shame is not enough for you.... You need to be tried in a court of law for treason coz u r guilty as hell you SOB!

You completly ignored the legal Lebanese army and praised terrorism and outlaws. You are nothing but a crazy coward. Its all the fault of all the lebanese who supported you. I remind you that the majority of the people do not want war with any one. After over 35 years of wars dont you think they are fed up and tired? why should we care about the palestinians and ignore the lebanese people? Lebanese come first . Lebanese are scattered across the globe without a country hoping to go back to live in peace. they all left to make a living while the palestinians are living in their country . There are more lebanese refugees now than palestinians. Who is working on their cause? they all want to return. the palestinians and hizballah are invaders just like the jews. So mr akhwat why dont you shut the f up .? I pray to what ever God that listens that you be hanged upside down like mousselini

This guy is a super idiot. He is a former commander of the LAF and he calls what happened a "Victory" for Hizb, what can I say a great military mind. I heard he is calling his moving out of Baabda when the Syrians attacked him a strategic retreat!!! Idiot and traitor

The resistance should not only be formed of Hizballah's members. Any lebanese, from any sect or party, should also be in the resistance. Hizballah should not have exclusive rights on the resistance and on the decision of war. The command of the resistance should be under the lebanese army and the decision of war should be in the hand o fthe lebanese government. The most imoprtant is that the name of the resistance should not be "The Islamic Resistance In Lebanon". This name indicates that the resistance in not Lebanese, it is just a branch of the Islamic Resistance inside Lebanon.
Nobody in Lebanon is willing to allow Israel to take our land. Hizballah is not more Lebanese than the rest of us. As a matter of fact, Hizballah's ideology is imported and has nothing to do with being Lebanese.

Lebanon's future is with democracy and one legal state. Lebanon future is not with hegemony and dictatorship and regimes from the last century.

You tried to take the weapons away from the Lebanese forces when you were General of the Army because you believed in the state so how can you say you are with the resistance.

Aoun, you sound out of character. This is too philosophical and devine for a simple guy like you.
Horoscope: Stick to what you know and what you are good at.

You must remember that when Aoun speaks, he equates "Lebanon" to himself personally, that is, to "Aoun". For Aoun in his meglomania delusions of grandure, Aoun = Lebanon and Lebanon=Aoun.
So when Aoun says that "Lebanon's future is closely linked to the resistance and to the powers confronting Israel's policies", in Aounese this translates to "Aoun's future is closely linked to the resistance and to the powers confronting Israel's policies."
As such, this is a true statement. Aoun is a patron of Iran and his personal future is tied and likned to Iran.
But Lebnaon does not equal Aoun, and so the literal statement is quite untrue. Lebanon's future has nothing to do with confronting or conspiring with Israel. Israel is an Iranian obsession and a Hezbollah obsession and so it is an Aoun obsession. Lebanon existed before Israel and will exist after Israel. We are independent. If Lebanese is to be obsessed with anything it is with ridding itself of parties obsessed with Israel.

When he was in France, AOUN was demanding and insisting to disarm the Hezbollah. His position was a matter of PRINCIPLE. You cannot change your PRINCIPLES for gaining materialistic opportunities (i.e: the presidency), because you betray your own values and you deceive those who trusted you

Do you hate Israel because they did not support you for the presidency after you asked general Karam to play the go-between and obtain their green light????

is this corruption or just business as usual ? or maybe funds from Iran ?
you want to tackle corruption crazy General, start cleaning up your ofwn house first before looking at others.. as for the Miqatti clan, who made their money n the ealry 90's by selling cell phone services illegally in Lefbanon ....got a message for you Mr. Traboulsi..one wrong move and all of your assets in the West will vanish , then you will go from being a billionayyyre to iranian payroll .. so think twice , which i am sure you already know..

Aoun is not worth the time wasted to respond.
The blame falls on those who still support his lies.

No one can blame this guy, he is a fool. The people to blame are the ones who vote for him. He and his friends are going to drag us into a war that will only serve them. He likes French history but he does not understand he was not Napoleon in 1989 and he is not deGaule now, he is merely a Petain. At least Petain was a hero in his previous wars. He doesn't give a toss about Lebanese people, he is a trigger happy cretin. God save us!!!!

The damage to our freedom and democracy in general, and Christian survivability in particular caused by Aoun premeditated actions will take generations to fix. In the last elections the majority of Christians voted against Aoun's party, and today there is no doubt Aoun is the most hated person among Christians. His ego has been inflated by Hizb arms playing on his mental instability and known obsessions to destroy Lebanon's freedom and liberal democracy that have distinguished Lebanon for generations. He has managed in few years to split Christians, justify Hizbollah's wars and takeover of Lebanon, resurrect Assad's hegemony in Lebanon, and is the king of corruption and nepotism using influence peddling to achieve his objectives. All civilized nations have recognized political influence peddling as the worst form of corruption. When would Lebanese realize the same? Hopefully before the iron curtain of oppression and tyranny engulf the country!

It always make me smile there famous mou3adala : "al jaych wa al chaa3eb wa al moukawama". I can understand that some people think it could be true but i don't understand who a former army general can fall in such a trick. In addition he lived in france for many years and i am speaking about this or a reason, france was occupied during the second world war by nasis and develloped a very active and millitary resistance against the occupant but when their country was liberated, the resistance disappereared and the legal french army remained the only defendant of the country,this is on example from many others in human history that shows us how people should behave in a true republic, so i am amazed how GMA who lived in france for many years didn't learned any thing from this country.
