Geagea: Supporters of Apostolic Exhortation Cannot Back Assad, Killers in Govt.

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stated on Friday that the current conflict in the region does not center around Sunnis and Shiites, but Syria and the conflict over establishing a democratic regime instead of the current one.

He said during a seminar in Maarab on the Apostolic Exhortation: “Those who support the Exhortation cannot back Syrian President Bashar Assad and the killers in the (Lebanese) government.”

He made his reference to Hizbullah ministers in cabinet and his recent accusation that the party “played an executive role” in the October 19 assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Brigadier General Wissam al-Hasan.

Geagea continued: “The most important aspect of the Apostolic Exhortation was its demand that Christians and Muslims coexist in the region.”

“Any group that places itself outside of current events is effectively placing itself outside of history,” added Geagea.

“Those who support the Apostolic Exhortation cannot be allied with dictatorial regimes or be allied with Assad,” he stressed.

“Those who support the Apostolic Exhortation cannot back murders and be part of the Mamlouk-Samaha axis,” he added.

Former minister Michel Samaha was arrested in August on charges of forming a criminal gang aimed at carrying out attacks in Lebanon at Syria's behest.

Syrian security chief Ali al-Mamlouk and a Syrian general known as Adnan were also charged in the case.

Pope Benedict XVI had signed the Apostolic Exhortation during his visit to Lebanon in September.

The declaration is aimed at preserving religious and cultural diversity in the Middle East.

It also urges Christians to remain in the region despite the hardships they may face.

you can reject the man all you want. you can't reject his words as they are spot on. Anyone with any objectivity can clearly see that there is a lot of substance in his words. Like him or not! tell me how you beleive what he is saying is wrong.

No, if you are a freedom loving Lebanese that does not want to follow Al Faqeeh or the general who sold his soul for the chair (Aoun, just in case you are in doubt).

Only in Geagea's sick and void mind. March 14, you may clap now and smile like the retards that you prove to be time and again. Just re-read your comments.

The only real path forward is to rely on the elections in 2013 to sort out the politics ...

If March 14 is so sure of its message then it should campaign to take back the government with the backing of the people ...

The crisis in Lebanon will not be resolved until the change occur in Kordaha, the longer the terrorist regime and long neck exists in Syria, the longer our suffering/assassination/division will continue.

March 14, my compatriots, wouldn't you agree with me that it is too damn bad for the unlucky Lebanese, and more so to the apostolitizating Maronites (or however Dr. Arreet 7akeh describes them) that the apostolic exhortation was absent when Dr. Arreet 7akeh was trampolining into the arms of the killer Assad regimes while scheming with them against balado and ebn balado? I am sure that you, March 14, like me, hate it when timing plays dirty tricks on us! In any case, who more than you and Dr. Arreet 7akeh knows that deadly mistakes happen every single day? You keep buzzing, warriors. God bless you and may the apostolic exhortation lead you now and forever! Amen.

March 14, my dear phoenicians, Cardinal al-Rahi (yes, cardinal, my friends. Can you believe it? What's with the Pope guys and dolls?) met with what the bright know-it-all-but-never-right-at-all Dr. Arreet 7akeh calls the killers in government. You see, March 14, not even the Cardinal is following the apostolic exhortation! This is craaaaazy! Everything seems to be going as the other camp pleases! The Mufti, the Cardinal, the whole group of killers, evil doers and voodoo powers of backwardness and Wilayat al-Faqih nonsense seem to be in sync these days! Will you finally launch your new revolution or what? Time is running out. So get set, get ready and go, go, go, go, go Lebanon's che guevaras.

Anyone can try to twist any meaning! for Geagea, its twisting those that support the pope and the church's hope for religious diversity and support for christian preservation... into salafi armed, terrorist rebellious attacks against Assad and against lebanese hezballoh!

as long as lebanese beg for foreign help to defeat domestic oppositions... than there is no hope for the republic!
