Report: Hizbullah, Amal Refusing to Give Airport Security Chief Post to a Christian
The cabinet has frozen a decision to appoint a new airport security chief for unknown reasons, pan-Arab daily al-Hayat said Monday, hinting that foreign parties prevented the nomination of a Christian Brig. Gen. from Koura to the post.
The newspaper said that Interior Minister Marwan Charbel handed Premier Najib Miqati a decree signed by Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn nominating the unidentified Brig. Gen. to the post of Rafik Hariri international airport security chief to replace Brig. Gen. Wafiq Shoqeir.
But several ministers held phone conversations with parties outside Lebanon and later held side talks which delayed a cabinet decision on the issue last week, al-Hayat hinted.
The decree now needs the signature of the president and the cabinet to become formal, it said, adding that Hizbullah and Amal ministers seem to insist on not changing the sect of the airport security chief.
Al-Hayat said the Lebanese should now adopt a wait-and-see approach to uncover whether the post would remain with the Shiite sect or be from the share of a Christian officer and mainly Orthodox after reports said that Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun had received a promise on the issue.
The assurances given to Aoun to offer the post to the Orthodox Brig. Gen. seem to be a compensation for dropping Aoun’s demand to return the leadership post of the General Security Department to Maronites.
Shiite Brig. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim was appointed to the post last week.

Miqati's cabinet was formed by a criminal regime and a criminal organization. Miqati, Aoun and Jumblat are simply three useful idiots that have been played like a marionette to deliver all state institutions to the Basij. Lebanon is occupied by the Basij that will suck the life of freedom and democracy in Lebanon and transform state institutions into an instrument of oppression and intimidation exactly like what is happening in Syria and Iran. Lebanese Basij have proven to be way more brutal that Iranian Basij or Syrian Mukhabarat. If thousands have sacrificed their life in Syria for freedom from tyranny, many more martyrs will be needed in Lebanon. Are we up to the task? De we have the courage of Gebran Tueni to look the criminals in their eyes and not blink? Are we capable of liberating our freedom and bringing all traitors and foreign agents to justice? YES we are, YES we can and YES we will because all tyrants are living on borrowed time!

This post goes to the Christians and that's it , as agreed between GMA and Sayed Hassan . Al-Hayat is a Saudi news paper trying to spread false rumours to split the cabinet and to break the alliance between the Christians and the Shiias .
They will not succeed .

its done!! what are you talking about. It is given to a shiite leader, thats it. Who are you kidding, that the post with go to a Chrisitian?
I agree with what was said by others, that Aoun is a puppy in a larger game, and the only winner is hizbollah.
It is a mafia....and they are stripping Aoun for everything that he got, and he will still follow suit..but for how long will his people follow him??!!
By the way, where is Bigdig and his smart comments? what lies does he has to say to this.. normally you two are the first to to comment on Geaga, Hariri and Gemayel related news..

What difference does it make if the post was not given to a Christian? if it were given to a Christian, he (God forbid it would be a she) would be implementing Hizbullah's goals and policies from smuggling arms thru the airport, to reporting on who enters and leaves the airport, admitting iranian revolutionary guards to train hizbullah under the pretext of "tourists", and of course getting rich! The Christian they will bring would be pro aoun and speaks like bassil.

i guess even if the shiite give this post to a christian they would be giving something they've stolen go begin with and they can take back anytime they want, as we saw with the abbas ibrahim issue aoun's twelve ministers are like their boss are hezballah tool and servants.

Surprise, surprise! Couldn't this have been predicted? When the party that is armed wants something, who is to deny the armed party's demand? This is only the beginning.
But the good thing about this is that I hope it keeps all of those who are the Opposition from entering into some sort of dialogue with this party. If they treat their coalition partners with such high handedness, just think of what they would do with the good faith positions of the Opposition parties.
This is a budding theocracy mascarading about as if it were a representative government and the veils are pretty thin and getting thinner. As thin as the combover whisps of hair on Aoun's head. Only Aoun thinks he has hair the rest of us know better.

I remember watching an interview on some stupid channel. Interview was between Aoun and Hassan.
Aoun during the interview was terrified to speak out. He says something and then looks over to Hassan to get his approval. That's the minute I knew he's always been a puppet. Probably since the 80s. So whether Christians get this or Muslims get that, the puppet master will always be ready to play the strings. In Lebanon that puppet master is Hassan. Akh ya Aoun and his one or 2 supporters left... Sorry Christian supporters. Please take your faces out of hole youve been diggin yourselves. It's never too late to apologize to the public and actually say that I gma have made several mistakes and should not trust a militia. Hassan will not give anything up from the security posts. He gavemil ministry seats. Coz he doesn't give a shit about them. She cares about his supply rout, security. Information and Aoun just gave him an extra power to dig tunnels in and around every Neighourhood in Leb.

inside sources close to shiitey said that shiitey in lebanon are trying to change airport name from Rafic hariri to hassan nasrallah airport. but berri is also desires to put his name on the airport.
same sources says that there is a cache depot of iranian weapons inside the airport also where hassan hided during 2006 war.
basic line is there is no security at the air port only iranians shiping weapans of mass destruction.
base on what hizbull is doing and their mulluhs are planing like a doom day is approaching fast. think of it as dead bafalo where it goings to attracked lions for free lunch then the hyenas are digging in dirts just to escape the ferocious powerful lions becuse they are going to get their backs cracked open. and if any poor goat or gazelle still stuk in that hole might kiss it hides goodby, simply it is lunch time for lions kings of the jungles.

Hey were did the Shiite MP go who said posts should be 'rotated' between confessions?!!!
I can't believe he isn't loudly supporting the 'rotation' of this post to a Christian.
What could possibly be the reason for his silence now?!
The Shia will never, ever allow Christians back into important government positions. Just like they'll never give back the Christian lands they occupy in Byblos, Dahie, Ouzai, Moussaitbeh, Southern Lebanon, the Bekaa etc. Hezbollah has been lying to Michel Aoun since the beginning, and Aoun is the only Lebanese stupid enough to continue believing Nasrallah and his lies and to continue supporting Hezbollah's terrorist and criminal militia.
