Berri Hits Back at Geagea: I'm the One Trying to Tolerate Him
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri hit back on Thursday at Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea, saying he is the one who has been trying to “tolerate” the LF leader.
“He's right. He can't tolerate me and I'm the one who's been trying to tolerate him and stomach him,” Berri hit out, after Geagea announced that the March 14 forces will not “tolerate” Berri as parliament speaker after the 2013 legislative elections.
“With all due respect to Berri, we can no longer tolerate him as parliament speaker. We must form a harmonious government just as the other camp did,” Geagea had told al-Akhbar newspaper in remarks published Thursday.
He revealed that discussions with former Prime Minister Saad Hariri in Jeddah last week tackled the parliamentary elections, the formation of a new government, but not the presidential elections.
“What would be the point of the 2013 elections if we committed the same errors as the ones in 2009?” asked the LF leader.
Geagea said "discussions with Hariri addressed potential candidates for parliament speaker and prime minister.”
“It is too soon to speak about the presidency,” he added.
Separately, Berri held talks on Thursday in Ain al-Tineh with Mufti of Tripoli and the North Sheikh Malek al-Shaar on the developments in Lebanon and the situation in the North in general and in Tripoli in particular.
He also discussed the developments and the issue of the electoral law with former interior minister Ziad Baroud.

Berri. Khalass. You have been speaker of parliament for the past 21 years. The world record was 20 years before you. You have stuffed the civil service with people of your sect and raised their salaries until you almost bankrupted the country. You stood with HA even though you hate their guts. Khalass Berri. Sa suffit. Basta. you made a lot of money in your position for you, and your constituents. You even own a chain of gas stations in Texas. I suggest that you go to San Antonio and retire there. Bye Bye isteuz

BTW this shows lack of democracy from the M8 side! they don't tolerate bad comments, but THEY can say whatever they want to say, and they pretend to be democratic!
OH and... being on the same chair for more than 20 years is called dictatorship!

Berri is friend to anyone, and then when they turn their back, suddenly there is a knife there. But seriously, if we to clean up corruption in this country, you would be the first person we would be looking at.

Guys, Lebanese Forces heroes, listen to me: is Berri retarded for not tolerating Geagea or does he have the nerve to imply that those who tolerate Geagea are retards? Does he not see the powers of prediction by the guru Geagea? This Berri is really unbelievable and guess what, he probably believes in the Wilayat al-Faqih nonsense! OMG what are you to do now? Here's a thought: add him to the list of enemies of lovers of life that should be stricken by God ASAP. I cannot take this Berri blabber anymore. You go, warriors. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. May God be with you now and forever. AMEN.

The Lebanese people have been tolerating and stomaching these damn politicians since the end of the civil war. It's time for all of them to leave.
