Aoun: Targeting Army is an Attack against the Nation

W300

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun slammed on Monday campaigns against the Lebanese army, saying that attacking it is an assault against the country.

He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “Parliament should assume its responsibilities because one of its members crossed his limits when he targeted the army.”

He made his statements in reference to MP Khaled al-Daher who last week accused some members of the security forces of adopting the same repressive approach as the Syrian security forces in their crackdown against anti-regime protestors.

Aoun added: “Such a matter harms the nation. He crossed his limits by attacking the army and we demand legal measures be taken against him.”

Addressing the disappearance of Imam Moussa al-Sadr, the MP said: “This matter belongs to the whole of Lebanon and not just the Shiites.”

“This issue goes beyond our borders. It is a major humanitarian issue and Arab countries must take it upon themselves to resolve the matter of his disappearance,” he continued.

Furthermore, he revealed that the Justice Minister had, in April, been handed a proposal on settling the matter of kidnapped individuals, but he has yet to take any action.

On the dispute over the electricity file in Lebanon, Aoun accused the Mustaqbal movement of being behind parliament’s failure to adopt the electricity draft law, adding that it is depriving the Lebanese of power.

“The law was presented scientifically and there is nothing wrong with it,” stressed the FPM leader.

“If they want to settle the electricity crisis, they would approve the law,” he added.

A few weeks ago, parliament failed to approve an electricity draft law proposed by Aoun that allows Energy Minister Jebran Bassil to receive $1,200,000,000 to implement a project on producing 700 Megawatts of electricity.

The March 14-led opposition says that the draft law gives the minister the freedom to use the amount of money without referring to the cabinet or without any monitoring by the Audit Bureau.

Opposition and National Struggle Front MPs have objected to the law.

“I fear that the campaign against us is aimed at covering up the theft of state funds. We have financial files on major officials who are criticizing us,” Aoun said.

What is it with 3rd world countries where one cannot criticize the army? And you can actually get prosecuted for that? And if this makes sense to people then we are not ready to become a civilized nation.

NO ONE (be him Military, Religious, or any other official that misuses Government resources or incites violence and sanctions criminality the way the Turbanator master of Aoun does daily) is above criticizm, as a matter of fact it is a vital necessity for every sustainable democracy, but then again the power hungry dictator wanna be Aoun would never acknowledge that now would he? What more can be expected of a follower of a puppet of a foreign dictatorship...

Lieutenant Hanna was targeted physically by the Hizb when he was on duty, and he DIED..... Was that an attack on the army, or what? Mustaqbal is targeting malpractices by the army and not the army itself, ya General Ghasheem.. We will see if we hear from you and your Orange hypocrites next parliamentary elections..

When the battle of Naher el Bared was still on, Aoun expressly criticized the LAF chief of staff Michel Sleiman being incompetent

Oh...I see... But it s fine to attack the ISF I guess..."Aoun said that the Internal Security Forces (ISF) Information Branch is an “illegitimate branch “, “kidnaps people for months,” and “spreads rumors about people.”

This is the same loser who ran to the French embassy in his PJs and left his army to be slaughtered by the invading Syrian army.

This guy is criminally MAD..... now he is championing the cause of Moussa Al Sadr....? Who is this thug? Does he also forget who humiliated the army in Chiyah, who shot the lebanese pilot, who challenges the army's authority on a daily basis, who prevented the army from entering the South, Who warned the army that entering Nahr Al Bared camp is a "Red" Line...... It is absolutely disgusting.....

Aoun is absolutely right...we need another May 7 to teach March 14 another lesson!

But its only Monday? Who let the monkey out of his cage early? The electricity file is quite simple. Assad met with the Imbasil son in law. Assad wants the Imbasil to get the money with no strings attached, no supervision so that it can be a slush fund for the Assad Regime to dip into and fund itself in light of the sanctions that have been imposed by the International Community on the Assad Regime. $2.1 billion ought to be enough for Assad to fund the weapons and ammunition enough to kill his way out of his current problems. The blood will be on Assad's hands an on Aoun's head.

Aouni's concerns that if Assad falls there will be retribution on the Syrian Christians is only heightened by this type of collaboration whereby the Imbasil seeks to increase his personal stock with Assad at the potential expense of countless Christian lives who will have to pay if Aoun and Basil have gambled poorly.

Someone needs to remind this deranged fruity loop there are hundreds of Lebanese citizens who have been missing in Syria for years - some for decades.
Is it not an issue for the whole of Lebanon when hundreds of your own citizens are abducted in another country and thown in prison for no reason for tens of years?
Maybe if they wore a turban, his attitude would be different!

Like as I said before, he's just another power hungry politician with Lebanese blood on his hand looking to make a fortune for him and his family.
What puzzles me are the morons whom follow him ! He doesn’t represent a religion, a resistance or other crap ideology like fat rat in the hole. His followers must be brainwashed or brain dead.

And flying to damascus in a plane with the Syrian flag and eating in the presidential palace with ASSAD while army generals who you have abandonned are still in Mazzeh prisons is an attack against the nation, the army and the lebanese people..." you can fool some people sometime but you cannot fool all the people all the time"

The losers, aka Mafia Hariri, his Al Qaeada - Akkar and Tripoli Brigades and his Christian Sunnis would target anybody that is 100% Lebanese. After all, they are the terrorists, the thieves and the collaborators with all of Lebanon's enemies, namely Israel and the Syria occupation. By the way, did they retrieve the key to Beirut that the khanzeer gave to Ghazi Loubnan? Just asking. malla orat kharjon el 7ar2 wel kab bel mazbaleh

@Someone or smalldig: If your house is in glass, you can't be throwing rocks at others. You and your boyfriend dig easily forget how Hassouna said: Nahr EL Bared is a red line and the Leb Army can't go inside.
You and your bf forgot that there are still until this day missing Leb Army soldiers in Syrian prisons.
You and your bf forgot that the ISF was not allowed to enter and investigate a gas canister explosion in the Dahyeh.
You and your bf have hearing impairment when the ISF is hit by sticks and rocks upon performing their duties to disallow unlicensed building at the Airport road.

In fact under the Hizbollah instructions, they are both praising those parts of the army intelligence which is doing the despicable job of chasing and seizing the 'Shourafaa' from the syrian people, and the syrian army, and handing them over to their death with the shabibah! Shameful, despicable, criminal behaviour! Who is doing that in Jordan or Turkey??
