200 March 14 Personalities Throw Support behind Geagea in Maarab
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A large-scale meeting of the opposition March 14 forces is scheduled to be held in the residence of Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea in Maarab on Wednesday in a show of support after his escape from an assassination attempt last week.
The March 14 general-secretariat has invited around 200 personalities, including party leaders, lawmakers and former ministers to participate in the meeting in Maarab at 5:00 pm, An Nahar daily said.
It quoted organizers as saying that the gathering is aimed at showing a united front with Geagea who escaped an assassination attempt by snipers as he was walking in the garden of his fortified residence last Wednesday.
The meeting is also aimed at confirming the determination of the March 14 coalition in confronting the next stage, which became full of challenges following the change in the status quo since 2008, when the last assassination was carried out, the organizers said.
Lebanon was rocked with a series of bombings and killings between 2004 and 2008, including the assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri in Feb. 2005.
High-ranking March 14 sources vowed a showdown with the government during parliamentary sessions next week, saying the opposition will no longer remain silent or reconcile with it.
Parliament will hold a three-day session starting next Tuesday to assess the cabinet’s performance.
Al-Joumhouria also quoted an opposition official as saying that Geagea’s assassination attempt was aimed at turning the clock back after striking the spirit of change instigated by the Syrian Spring as a continuation of Lebanon’s Cedar Revolution in 2005.
The main objective behind targeting Geagea is to obstruct the opportunity of change that could come following the collapse of the Syrian regime, the official said.

These assassinations stopped when march14 was no longer in control of the Telecomunications Ministry and now they are using geagea's fabricated assassination attempt to have access to all data again.
Amazing how everytime the popularity of march14 dropped (like it has now), one of the light weights used to get assassinated.

Dude, get out of that "conspiracy theory" mentality that plagues Lebanon and the Arab country.
Who in their right mind(other than Syrian regime and their allies) would fabricate an assssination?

No way Geagea for president. Any politician with blood on his hands cannot and should not occupy the highest function. Of course, this applies to Aoun and the others. We need a young and fresh president , why not Gemayel junior?

Military man is better than a money hungry man. I agree, Sami G would be better but don't need another hezbullah assassination

well harriri promised he'll back him up on twitter, so probably he'll become president of Farmville (is the game still going on btw)

Aren't they worried they can be shelled by rockets this time, instead of snipers. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

it is amazing to see how my previous comments generated so much responses about M14 being ready to defend itself!
I would like to point some facts that I have seen in the responses:
- if m14 is armed, it means they are pushing for civil war.
- no one talked about hizbushaitan weapons.
why is that?
why is it OK for hizbushaitan to have weapons, threaten the whole country, be allied to the syrian regime, be allied to iran, be the executor of the iranian wishes, ... ?

Because, you single minded fool, Hezbollah has other motives for its weapons, to keep Israel out the front door. What's your excuse for having weapons? Because Hezbollah has weapons. This M14 logic is astoundingly stupid and an 8 year old child would know better. Hezbollah has never threatened the country, it's only your Future News and Nahar that tells you that it has. You say it has targeted Beirut, yes, it has. Though I oppose it, it's by no means any worse than what Saniora was doing when he was in power, robbing the county, now with $11 billion dollars missing and what do you say? Well, what about the money Gebran Bassil stole? First of all, what money, second of all, when?
I pity if the day comes when you're in a political position like them. At least the current M14 leaders know how to create and spread the lies. All you're able to do is just spread it.

partial reply as usual as you should have read below too :)
you are avoiding a direct replu by switching to stealing and ...
anyway, your claim hizbushaitan is keeping israel out of the front door is no more acceptable as explained below.
next you go to say they never threatened the country:
- beirut and all the murderous actions performed during the invasion.
- distribution of weapons to fpm (confirmed) :)
- distribution of weapons to salafis in the north (confirmed) :)
- supporting the syrian regime through kipnappings and deportation of syrians, and silencing others.
- threatening Joumblat to switch the majority (confirmed) :)
- ....
your reply is so funny.
10 April 2012, 10:38

And your reply is hilarious. Confirmed? Can you please link to them?
Hahahahahahahaha, Hezbollah supplying the Salafi in the north? Even though you claim Shias hate Sunni? You contradict yourself there.
Either you're incredibly stupid and I don't even know why I'm talking to you or you're just on the payroll of someone to post these comments. How much to they pay you? $10 a comment? You know, I hope your last name isn't Geha.

@Mowaten and inveritas:
- your answers are NO answers :)
- regarding arming some salafi groups in the north by hizbushaitan: I repeat: it is confirmed :)
now for the others, since you are not commenting on them, then you must agree on my comments, thus we are then finally agreeing n these points.
what remains is that you choose to use bad language all the time especially when you are embarassed: why?

I repeat, give me those links and then we can talk. Meanwhile, someone call the mental hospital, we've got a serious issue of schizophrenia here.

I'd much rather have Israeli soldiers patrolling Beirut than hezbollahi z3ran that intimidate fellow Lebanese citizens. With such little respect I wonder if they are Lebanese.... They're most likely Persians.

why is it not OK for M14 to have weapons to defend itself from those murdering its leaders, thus be tagged as looking for civil war?
the scam that hizbushaitan weapons target only israel is no more believable, as it has targetted beirut, as well as threatened leaders to acquire a s called majority by force, and is actively supporting the falling syrian regime.
I for one believe that since we have a foreign entity, i.e. hizbushaitan, heavily armed in our country, the least we can do is to be armed to defend ourselves from these thugs.
so what is the real problem here? why are there comments from so many m8 guys against this? why are we being accused as preparing for civil war? are they suddenly afraid that we want to defend ourselves from their chemes?
what is it that threatens them suddenly? why is it they are so afraid that so many shias are with m14 these days? they feel they are loosing their grip on things?
I wonder....
10 April 2012, 12:29
13
it would have been better if you said nothing, because what you are saying is nothing.
while you consider hizbushaitan as lebanese , others consider them as iranians with iranian agenda: someone who threatens to retaliate on israel just because iran might be attacked .....
so their weapons and those who follow them are not legal lebanese weapons.
and by the way, we do not approve of what israel is doing at all, but when an iranian force is threatening them, what do you expect in return?
I do not see any comment from you about our other ennemy: the syrian regime who has been aggressing us for so long, and just yesterday shot dead a cameraman for new tv! selective memory?
10 April 2012, 19:47

hey Geha, stop arguing with the brainwashed fools, we are the majority.
10 April 2012, 09:57

Correction:
why are we being accused as preparing for civil war? are they suddenly afraid that we want to defend ourselves from their schemes?
10 April 2012, 12:31
12
for all the abve mentioned reasons, we need to protect ourselves.
no it will not make me happy to kill anyone for that matter, but it will make me happy to defend myself against whoever is aggressing me and my country.

mowaten...First and very soon Syria. Second and in a neer future Iran. Hizbollah is merely an univited guest and dosen´t matter for the timme being . Please no hard feeling, it not personal. I`m just saing ;)
10 April 2012, 10:30

instead of such a reply, I am interested in a real reply to my comment.unless it keeps you thinking?
10 April 2012, 10:56

@mowaten:
you know better, I always reply to serious questions, and avoid as much as possible using bad language.
why are you so offended by my above comments? because they are so true? :) why do you all m8 guys reply by insults? you cannot reply clearly and to the point?
these are my beliefs, and the beliefs of a great number of lebanese people. are they so effending to you so that you reply by insults?
10 April 2012, 11:49

@mowaten
the insults are coming from inveritas in this case.
however, for the rest:
- weapons to fpm: please let us meet and I will take you to fpm guys that will sell you any gun you wish tagged made in iran :) this is a serious invite.
- same for the north: let us go together and take a look at the weapons of these guys :)
what better proofs you need?
stop dismissing comments just because you cannot reply to them: just tell me why it is wrong for lebanese to arm themselves for self defense when others are armed to the teeth and threatening the country? why does it become a call for civil war?

Where is Mr. "know it all" AKA Flame Thrower? Need to spice up this debate a little more.

the real problem now is: geagea beginning to be a real difficult # in the christian areas and hizballah cannot function in bilad el arz without the cover of michel aoun,hassoun is accepting "fayez karam"...accepting gibran bassil's financial comissions in "hizballah" gvmt...accepting that orangies are selling hizballah arms to "sunnis"....and "dear bashar"is already on the hyway of death.. and jumblat is sitting by the river and waiting....and after seven years of "victory" the basement is still the official residence of...
BILAD EL ARZ WILL PREVAIL NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
10 April 2012, 12:32

beside the point as usual: these iranian guns have been given to the fpm by hizbushaitan :)
10 April 2012, 15:54
11
any proof FPM has weapon Geha or jsut empty allegations as usual. How come not one Bullet has been seized?
10 April 2012, 12:36
11
as long as hizbushaitan is arming fpm and others, how can you say they do not want war?
and by the way: stop talking about kataeb as if you know what you are talking about :)
just to correct you: they said they would sign an agreement with hizbushaitan after they give up their weapons, and this is a condition set by m14 too :) so please stop trying to misinform people :)
10 April 2012, 15:56
11
u should read more Geha, Kataeb said they were ready to sign an agreement with Hizballah if he accepts to surrender his weapons not AFTER he does that, the same agreement has been signed with FPM, the only difference is vocabulary

slash, ft is just either a teenager with too much time on his hands or actually an adult with too much time on his hands.. he spends his day on this forum basically repeating the same sentence with different words or just avoiding answers by redirecting to another topic and then makes fun of you for doing so.
he hasnt had an original opinion since he popped up when phenicien disappeared so i dont think it would actually be fruitful to even try to argue with him. just give the whole thing a few months to unravel in lebanon and he will be eating his sock :)

So what else is new? These people live on fables and unrealistic expectations. No wonder they have no clue what to do to raise themselves from the deep hole they dug themselves into.

Definitely the next President of the Lebanese Republic: President Dr. Samir Geagea! God Bless you and may He protect you. A true leader.

sheep's all of you! and we the guys abroad laugh at how naive you are becoming. M8 or M14, what a bunch of war lords all of them! No value for human life that's the simple to understand from all your comments, you do not respect yourselves neither you know democracy!
10 April 2012, 15:52

Hey sheep, ALL of your parties and their leaders are pieces of sh1t, with no exceptions, and they all want to assassinate each other. That's confirmed, too.

Trust me.The moment Hizbullah hands over his weapons to the army, you will find Israeli forces taking control over our lovely Lebanon and you will see them in Beirut. Every one knows that the lebanese army is weak and very exposed to israeli forces . they will vanish our army in just 5 hours . seriously! On the other side Hizbullah has an advantage that he is a secret army that know one knows where he is located and what weapons he got .. You must know that there are 3 main things that can protect lebanon : Hizbullah - Army - Citizens .

i know. Many people believe that Israel is their friend . These people are 14 march leaders and every one who stands with them . And thats why we call you 3omala ..did you forget how Saniora stopped Hizbullah truck loaded with weapons in the middle of 2006 war . I think you are lost my friend . You are saying that because people hate hizbullah they have the right to be with Israel !!!!
11 April 2012, 23:14

You are wrong again. Israel and The filthy Persian militia are both enemies of Lebanon. We hate them alike
11 April 2012, 00:22

i guess you were not in lebanon in 2006 war . " Israeli ground forces invaded Lebanon up to the Litani River in 5 hrs "!!! This happened only in their dreams
11 April 2012, 00:56

i donot know what is bothering you ... you want to eat grapes or you want to kill the person ? You want Lebanon to be safe ,right? and that is what the resistance is doing , keeping the borders safe. if you want to defened lebanon then you are welcomed to join us , otherwise if you only want to put silly comments that make israel happy than good luck .

@shi3i
if hizbollah is really defending lebanon's borders, then why are Assad's troops crossing the border and killing Lebanese civilians? Also, if hizbollah would drop their weapons, the army would be stronger, and Israel wouldn't attack Lebanon. Face it, you provoked every one of their attacks, even though you fully acknowledge that they would hit back ten times as hard. And no, 2006 was no victory, it was the UN that saved us. Seriously, we're better off without you. Take pre-civil war Lebanon as an example: no Palestinian militias, no hizbollah. And guess what, Israel didn't attack and invade. My point that Hezbollah doesn't defend Lebanon and that it acts by it's own Iranian agenda has thus been validated.

'the reason none of you can get along is just this socialistic attitude you all seem to have... if you are fighting amongst yourselves as so here there is no hope for peace. I got a news flash from Australia for you all.... grow the hell up!! No man is greater than another...all leaders fall...all dictators die a lothsome death...and skin colours are never going to change just blend..All are under one God and he hates idol worship whether of man or material...so guess both countries fail here dont they..God favours no man above another and how the mighty have fallen ...one by one...there will be more!
