MP George Kasarji of the National bloc, an ally of the Change and Reform bloc, on Thursday said that MP Michel Aoun had made a mistake by distributing the quotas and the ministerial seats in the new cabinet unfairly, as he excluded the National bloc and the Tashnaq party.
What the hell is he talking about? excluded who? Skaff has a ministry he always wanted to run and Tashnag has a ministry they would've never dreamt of getting before...

He told NOW Lebanon that he criticized Aoun’s decision on the personal level and has not committed the bloc or the Tashnaq party to adopting his position.

He added that he was just expressing his convictions and would not change his political status.
Quote:
“My relationship with Aoun and the Change and Reform MPs is good, but I don’t like unilateralism and dictatorship in taking positions on the political level, the reason for my disagreement with Aoun.”
Bull***t, everybody seem to be more than happy with their cabinet profiles, either Lebanon NOW is twisting his words around or Tashnag is booting him out for next elections. I haven't seen "unilateralism and dictatorship" from G.Aoun on the ground, i'm not sure where he's getting to with this.

Quote:
Kasarji had said earlier to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa, “Aoun totally realizes that the Ministry of Agriculture, given National bloc head MP Elias Skaff, is not a service ministry and limits the minister’s work. For that reason, many people were disappointed.”
Skaff wanted this ministry since day one.

He added that Skaff deserved a services portfolio to prove his capacities and improve communication with the Arab World and on the national level.

Quote:
Kasarji also questioned whether Change and Reform bloc MPs were ineligible to be ministers instead of Gebran Bassil and Mario Aoun, adding that Michel Aoun should have honored the MPs who were insulted on a daily basis because of their political positions.
He said that the distribution process was within the same family, and the Lebanese people were questioning whether “the genetic family disease attacked Aoun.”
Mario Aoun (he's from Damour,Shouf) is not a relative of GMA and Gebran Bassil been with GA since 1989, before he even became his son-in-law, he was a member of the LA 'Anssar'. G. Aoun wanted to separate Parliamentarians from sitting cabinets, that's why he didn't appoint any of the MPs for a ministerial position.

Quote:
“The Armenian bloc might ally with MP Michel Al-Murr during the 2009 elections, especially in the northern Metn area, and the alliance between the National bloc and the Change and Reform bloc will be discussed later on,” Kasarji concluded.
Since when you started taking decisions for the Skaff bloc and the C&R block?!

-NOW Lebanon

What do you guys think ??
Tashnag will be fielding another candidate for 2009 elections, that's his way of expressing his disagreement and 'emti3ad'.
