Franjieh: I am Not Obligated to Be Seated with Geagea’s Representative at National Dialogue
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh stated that he understands how Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah would send a representative to the national dialogue on Monday out of security fears, adding however he does not understand how others would want to follow suit, reported As Safir newspaper on Saturday.
He told the newspaper: “If Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea wants to send a representative for security reasons, then we will do the same.”
“I am not obligated to sit by his representative,” he added.
“Whoever does not want to participate at the talks should not send an envoy,” remarked the MP.
Nasrallah will be represented at the talks by the head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad.
A leading Christian source told As Safir that the Lebanese Forces may take part in the national dialogue if the March 14 camp’s conditions are met.
Geagea had stated that security reasons have thwarted him from attending the dialogue session, which is scheduled to be held at the Baabda Palace on Monday.
The LF chief was the victim of a failed assassination attempt at his Maarab residence in April.
He had announced his boycott of the talks, describing them as a “big distraction.”

This kid needs to learn how to talk, You moron why it's ok for Nasrallah not come out of his rat hole to face reality and for security reason, but for LF there is no security worry and Dr Ja3Ja3 must attend. You are nothing even in your town Mouawad supporters will outnumber your thugs.

A
Naharnet; Article should have read:
'The LF chief was the victim of an "ALLEGED" failed assassination attempt at his Maarab residence in April.'
The assassination attempt has NOT been proven as factual. Editor should have known that..
B Geagea described the talks as a “big distraction”..
Distraction from What??
National Dialogue and most importantly Christian Unity have become Distractions for Mr Geagaea..
I can't wait to read his Memoirs..

Christian unity is not the purpose of these talks and don't believe they are on the agenda, and if you wanna talk about distractions, who the hell is this guy and who does he represent,what has he done to even be considered for these talks, and how can they hold these talks with the barrels of the illegal weapons pointing at them, I salute hakkeem's decision not to participate.

Frangieh's statements only underline and highlight the foolishness of this "dialogue" business. Talk about who should sit next to whom, is childish behavior from childish people when what is required is men with authority conferred by having been elected by the people in legitimate free and fair elections.
The authority in Lebanon, however is not held by such men. Rather, authority in Lebanon is with Rats who live in holes in the ground surrounded by their weapons thinking that this is what makes them strong. But, as we all know, if your idea must be implemented from the barrel of a gun, it is a weak idea, held by a weak person since the strength of force of arms is needed as a crutch for this idea to walk and to move forward.

Dialogue. True dialogue with regard to public affairs is conducted by duly elected representatives of the people coming from all sides of the various perspectives and who are working toward common national solutions which are equidistant from each of the starting perspectives.
This will not happen on Monday. Instead Hezbollah will speak, everyone will kiss its ring and the result is that Hezbollah's insulation with the trappings of state will be enhanced so that it can more securely carry on its Mafia-state usurpation of the Lebanese state to serve its Persian master's interests.
What self respecting Lebanese wants to be a part of this. Is the Iranian money so good and valuable so as to sell one's birthright as a free Lebanese?

@normzz117, it is not lost on me the threats that exist. Geagea was the subject of an assassination attempt in his own home and so will not venture out. Hariri will not come back to Lebanon out of the same concern for assassination. Nasrallah will not attend out of fear of assassination executed by the Mossad. With the principles not present, there is no chance for dialogue producing results.
But this is not its purpose, I understand. The purpose of the Hezbollah call to Dialogue is to see who will show up. Those who do recognize Hezbollah's authority and will have bought time against elimination by assassination. Those who do not will have defined Hezbollah and thus secured their place on the assassination list.
Geagea, by not attending is speaking volumes with regard to this issue. He does not recognize the authority of Hezbollah and will say so by his absence. Sure, sure Suliman is calling this thing, but he is the puppet, Hezbollah the puppet master.

This is very similar to how AIPAC works in the US. They have their annual meeting in Washington and invite all of the congressmen and senators, all of the foreign policy officials. Who shows up is with them and who fails to show is against them. Rather than build consensus through dialogue, it is more a means of seeing whose on whose side.

look at this childish behavior... he thinks he is the president of the republic? and he pretends to be a responsible politician with such a childish behavior?
this dialogue is rather a monologue from hezbollah which wants to impose its point of view! if you don t share it then it means you are against dialogue...

little Suleiman,is living in denial,he's corrupted and murderous sponsors the Syrian regime are fighting for survival.Once Assad and his criminal empire disintigrate he will struggle politically.My guess is he's Families influence will become obsolete.Suleiman and he's paid supporters must be very concerned at the moment by the demographics around them.Intresting time ahead.

@FlameThrower: Yes, and for good reason. Past experience strongly suggests the futility of such dialogues. It was your own side who forced the cessation of the previous round because it was not going their way. This is the case of the pot calling the kettle black. Check far and fair enough before launching your motor mouth again.

I follow no one person, only a philosophy and a way of life that totally contradicts what HA preaches. As for Geagea, think what you want but from my perspective since his release from prison he has said and practiced all the right things an independence oriented politician should. Unlike your Tony ya haram. Aoun and Tony are heading full speed into an abyss by failing to recognize that their biased views notwithstanding, the majority in Syria will eventually prevail to the detriment of those too short sighted to recognize reality. Forget all politics just observe natural processes for a clue.

I beleive Lebanese are educated and more or less smart. How on earth can we choose junk leaders like that? If Franjieh worked for me, he would maximum reach the level of semi skilled factory worker. (After 30 years of experience). Geagea would probably be a team leader on the factory floor. Aoun would be a good busboy. Siniora : head accountant. grant him that. Nasrallah, I would ask him to get a shave and shower and i am sure he does good coffee. Hariri Jr... customer service GCC region- he has good saudi accent. Berri- Human resources (he can get staff). Mikati is a good leader, cant say a thing allah yse3do... Sleiman : middle manager would suit him. Fattouche: valet parking.
Where are our visionaries? the new generation of leaders? the charles Malek? the Fouad Chehab? The Fouad Boutros? The kamal joumblats? The ghassan Tuenis (RIP) where did they bury our ziad baroud? WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE RULED BY GUYS STUPIDER THAN WE ARE?

If these talks were addressing important issues, issues that matter to the masses [ we all know what we're talking about ] then fine and dandy we're all for it, these talks is nothing but a farce just like all the other talks held previously, this is nothing but a circus.

If Frangieh father(Suleiman) shot innocents in the church and burned it in his own town, then what do you expect from his son? these are the facts of life that you are blind to see, and Tony was few meters away from the Syrian Checkpoint same as Kamal Jumblat assassination. Just look at the Shabiha of Hama and Houla as history repeats itself.
Know your real enemy before you speak out.

@FT Boy I have told you many times, speak when you are spoken to otherwise Shutup simply because you are under zero in politics of Lebanon. Read history and refer to the article that I have posted earlier to gain 0+1 knowledge, Frangieh is the most corrupt/ze3ran in the history of Lebanon starting from Suleiman father and his buddy Hafez Al-Assad when the latter helped him upon his ESCAPE to Syria after the church massacre of Meziara.

FT stop talking about things you do not understand. you only make yourself ridiculous by the day. stop justifying the unjustifiable. you have to admit that your puppet sold his sold to the highest bidder out of vanity and you are helping him selling lebanon to those he called terrorists for decades....
you are going to be the big loser and i will laugh at you and your peers trying to change again when you ll smell that you are losing! that is FPM now....

In A real Democracy you have one person one vote. In 2009, M8 got 54% of peoples vote (popular vote) without PSP, Miqati, and others who left M14 losers. The resistance arms did not stop any M14 loser from voting for M14 leaders. Thousands of M14 supporters (and M8 supporters) were given a free ticket to come to Lebanon to vote. In a democracy you have majority rule. I do not see any reason for this meeting.

Peace, it seems to me that you talk without knowing basic facts. Res. 1559 was a decision on behalf of Lebanon, that encountered from the very beginning a big Lebanese objection. You can easily find the remarks of the Lebanese Government attached to the Resolution: the Resistance IS NOT CONSIDERED A MILITIA, so it should not be disbanded as a consequence of Res. 1559. That was a pro-Syrian Gmvt, which you hate and despise? okay, but why M14 Govermnents, for 6 years (and 12 ONU reports later) never changed their position vis-a-vis the Resistance? The equation People-Army-Resistance has been included in all ministerial statement. The vast majority of the country is grateful to the Resistance for liberating and protecting the country. You want to bring weapons under the authority of the Army? Realize this cannot happen overnight, and above all it requires dialogue.

I seldom leave a response, but i did some searching and wound up here
Franjieh: I am Not Obligated to Be Seated with Geagea’s Representative at National Dialogue — Naharnet. And I actually do have some questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Is it simply me or does it look like some of these comments look like they are written by brain
dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post.
Could you list of every one of your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
