Suleiman Calls for Supporting Army to Avert Repercussions of Syrian Crisis on Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman praised on Wednesday the role of the army in maintaining the civil peace and protecting the citizens, reported the National News Agency.
He called on the people to support the army in order to avert any possible repercussions of the Syrian crisis on Lebanon.
He made his statements in light of the criticism that was directed against the deployment of the army in the northern region of Wadi Khaled after media outlets reported that members of the Free Syrian Army were present in the area.
The March 14-led opposition said that the deployment was made at Syrian orders.
Suleiman had held talks with the head of army intelligence Brigadier General Edmond Fadel on the security measures taken by the army and the need to protect the country’s southern borders.
“Controlling the border and border-crossings falls within the army jurisdiction that was granted to it by the government and which enjoys complete political backing,” said Fadel.

After the Syrians terminate the remaining crazies in Homs, the Syrians's next move should be to terminate the crazies in Akkar and Tripoli. But before this happens, the army should end their deployment that so bothered these critics. Don't say then that they really wanted the army deployed there.

Samir Geagea, the thug who killed more army officers and generals than any enemy of Lebanon, wants to support the army? He just wants to send them to the South to do nothing and be at Israel's mercy because they are poorly equipped.
The Hariri Clan want to support the army? They are the ones, since the days of Rafic Syria, may he rot in hell, who refuse to allow the army to be properly equipped to defend Lebanon.
Perhaps then Al Qaida - Akkar and Tripoli Brigades want to support the army, the Syrian Free Army of fanatics and Sunni crazies of filthy Arab nationalities, and perhaps some crazy Turks among them.

the filthy zionist media terrorists now hallucinate that our army was put on the border because of syrian orders.
when army wasn't deployed, than they claimed that it should deploy.
one would say that they don't know what they want. but, knowing the zionists, it's clear they only want to spread hate.

The Article quotes: "The March 14-led opposition said that the deployment was made at Syrian orders."
Even March 14 politicians don't believe it. Anything you can grab and throw at this Government. I'd love to see a list of accomplishments by this one VS. the previous.

I do not believe for a second that the army deployed in Akkar because of orders from Syria. The army got its order from the M8 Government who in turn got its order from Syria.
Nothing is wrong with deploying in Akkar as long as it is deployed along the whole border. Nothing is wrong with stopping smuggling of weapons as long as it is done along the whole border to stop the smuggling of weapons coming into Lebanon as well.
