Let M8 cool down and think it over. In the end they'll stop trying to force anything on you and agree to go to the elections without conditions.
If not, read above, Sanyoura is still looking great. | You got that right | | | |

And to follow your logic which alludes to the fact that the Syrian government breached the Taef accord, don't you think that the Lebanese government should have at least complained that the Syrian army did not leave 2 years after Taef? Whose responsibility is that? | | | | | Orange Room Supporter

We are a very rich country.We can pay 8 billions the price of an electricity plant and installations,that are worth only few hundreds of millions.We have so much money to throw away.
But not one cent on the LA,knowing that we are in a constant state of war. Quote:

Do you have enough sense of accountability to do that or is democracy too hard for you to handle? | | | |

So, does your logic imply that Israel is harming you more than me? And if war erupts with Israel, then you're going to be hurt more than me?  Baffling logic.
And enough of that old "start a war" tune, it's getting too lame and even more ridiculous. | | | |

BTW,You still didn't answer my question.
What if Israel starts another war on Lebanon,which brings harm upon me,then,if you don't defend me since i don't have anymore weapons to do it myself,shall I consider you no different than the Israeli, if not a bit worse? | | | | | Registered Member

I have nothing to add to it. Quote:
FM selected saniora not because they represent the sunna, but because they have allies with whom they form a majority.
I think the people who have a majority in the parliment have made a similar or even bigger concession when they gave up their candidates.
| As for the Presidency it is a need for all the Lebanese. I won't give you any concessions in order to go elect a President. This includes the elections law and everything else. If you want a President, go elect one. Otherwise, PM Sanyoura is staying and looking better everyday. Quote:

BTW, let's get this thread back on topic which has nothing to do with Presidential elections. The HA weapons are a much more important topic. | | | |  | | | Tags | assassination, chief, guard, hassan, hezbollah, imad, implied, integrated, islamic, meir, military, militia, militiamen, mossad, moughnieh, nassrallah, national, officially, protector, resistance, sayyed, shiites, speech, system  | |
