Hizbullah Convinced of Having Defense Strategy Based on Cohesion
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said Sunday that the party is convinced that Lebanon needs a national defense strategy based on cohesion, the strength of Lebanon and the unity of the army, people and the resistance.
“We should be independent and free and not followers,” Qassem said, calling on the Lebanese to build their future without any foreign intervention.
“The defense strategy puts the weapons in their real place in defense of the country which guarantees that Lebanon becomes strong,” he said on the eve of the national dialogue that is scheduled to be held at Baabda palace under President Michel Suleiman.
He hoped that the dialogue would “purify” strained ties between the different parties in the country so that the Lebanese could live in a united Lebanon.
According to Hizbullah’s deputy secretary-general, approval of a fair parliamentary law that would reproduce power according to the right representation is one of the pillars of state building.
“This can only be achieved through the proportionality law,” he stressed.
The second pillar lies in preventing Lebanon from becoming a base or a route for others to serve their regional and international objectives, Qassem said.
Protecting our country through the army-people-resistance equation is a third pillar to confront the Israeli occupation and its threats, he said.
Qassem also called for serving the people through social and economic projects, the fourth pillar of state building.

We don't need a defense strategy with the young padowan. Because if the young padowan and his masters don't attack Israel in the first place, israel won't attack us. Of course, wars and weapons are the raison d'être of the terrorists. How else could they justify their own existence in the eyes of the world and their own people?

Why do you need army people and resistance?
How about the resistance becomes part of the army, and we remove people from the equation because they want to live in peace??
in the current equation, the people are the ones getting hit the most.

israel issue wont be solved for decades. Why are you "depending" our faith on the israel issue?
Let Lebanon rise again and put israel behind us. A strong army, with the resistance incorporated in it so that IN CASE israel decided to attack again, the whole country will unite against it.
Moreover, giving them NO excuses to attack us ( in form of weapons outside state authority) will give us more support from the rest of the world.
Lastly, we should build a wall on the whole border area in the south. In that way, we will have a propaganda victory, showing the world that we do not want war, but are only aiming for defence of our land.

Well said Ulpianus. The resistance, if that's what you really want to call it LOL, had Lebanon first in mind....it would work on unifying it's weapons & experience INTO/WITH the Lebanese army - period! They will be no better or higher in ranks/power then their fellow serviceman. Israel is not a threat. They no longer the threat we knew years and years ago. Lebanon is protected regardless of what HA likes to claim and use for their existence by the international community. If Israel dares do any thing foolish upon Lebanon they pretty much waged a war on the world (and likely the last war we all this during our lives). So let's cut the crap and BS. HA is not here for Lebanon vs. Israel but for Iran vs. Israel. These scums sold us out and would sell their soul to the devil if the price is right.

I am a March 14 supporter. I do not want a defense strategy. I do not want to properly fund the Lebanese army. I want to do whatever I can to please Israel and the US and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and anyone who befriends Israel. I want to kill everybody in Lebanon who opposes my views. I am for democracy, freedom and sovereignty but after we cleanse all those who oppose March 14. hooh haah

Bush once said: You are either with us or against us. Plain and simple.
Syria and Israel or Iran and USA will treat the Lebanon based on the elected Government, You either going to get the Army ammunition from Iran or USA otherwise parts, maintenance and logistics becomes a nightmare for the soldiers and security forces.
You need a partner and can't be independent on protecting the land. USA needs Israel and Iran needs you to execute their agenda.

Since they like their weapons so much and probably wont relinquish them, And since the weapons are at for the Lebanese, they say, Why not put the resistance weapons under the control of a paramilitary force, a purely lebanese organisation whose leaders are elected by the lebanese people?? instead of the weapons being under the whim of Hassan Nasrallah?

The problem with your formula is that the people are sick of war, the army should be the one defending the country, and Hizbullah is a militia that has no respect for the country or its people, and it should not be part of any equation. As long as Hizbullah is in existance, the Lebanese will always be frowned upon, humiliated at airports etc. The thing is every Lebanese is paying for Hizbullahs actions, whether in war or through the economy or through anything else.
Secondly you hypocrite, no outside intervention? you swear by Iran and syria more than you do by Lebanon, you defend them more than you defend Lebanon, you are ready to ruin Lebanon for their sake. Don't talk about foreign intervention! And if you are so insistant on the "army-people-resistance" equation, before you make any moves on behalf of us, you should ask the opinion of the army and the people!
Oh and by the way, the majority of the people don't want you to be part of the equation, we don't identify with scum.

Qassem: "The second pillar lies in preventing Lebanon from becoming a base or a route for others to serve their regional and international objectives"
Quds Force Qassem Suleimani said, in quotes published by Iranian news agency ISNA: "Iran is now also present in southern Lebanon and Iraq.. In fact, those areas are in a way influenced by the Islamic Republic of Iran's performance and thinking."
Iraqi Sadr Movement headed by Cleric Sayyed Muqtada Al Sadr rebuked, on Friday, Iranian Quds Forces Commander Qassim Suleimani for declaring that Iraq is subject to Iran’s will and that there is a potential to form an Islamic government in Iraq. These statements are unacceptable, Sadr Movement argued assuring that it doesn’t allow any pretext to interfere in Iraqi internal affairs. “Sadr Movement rejects and doesn’t tolerate Suleimani’s statements which it regarded as unacceptable”
Sadr's movement showed true honor and patriotism unlike Nasrallah's party.

Even though a lot of you criticize Hezbollah (and have many good points), you have to remember that the Hezbollah militant that's in the grass with bullets and drones flying over him doesn't deserve your hatred. He's fighting for freedom. Can any of you go out there and risk your life against one of the best-trained armies in the world? His party might not be the best thing and might have many errors, but he as a person is a freedom fighter and I have to respect that.

This is all wasted energy. The militants are the victims too because they are drafted to give their lives for the protection of the Iranian regime and to some extent the syrian regime.
Diplomacy has been effective in keeping the lebanese Israeli borders quite as proven since 2006.
All the "Resistance" is doing falls in the plan to turn Lebanon into a vessel province of the Khomeiny republic.

FT. Arguing that diplomacy did not remove clusterbombs is a valid argument.
...If you accept my argument: Resistance did not remove aids. So resistance fails.
Truely, Diplomacy stopped Lebanon for being more damaged in 2006. Mostly, the world stood on the Lebanese side and felt pity for this little "every now and then wartorn country".
Specielly, as what israel did was against International Law. It helps having the law on your side..

"We should be independent and free and not followers,” Qassem said, calling on the Lebanese to build their future without any foreign intervention.
He also said from behind weapons supplied by Iran which are used upon the instruction of the Iranians who supplied the weapons, trained the Hezbollah fighters and pays their salaries.

of course hezb doesn t want to integrate the army!
1/ they do not work for the state of lebanon but for iran and are their army here.
2/ handing over their weapons would mean the end for them: no more possibility of blackmailing the gvt, no more possibility to scare the shia to support them!
3/ they would have to obey the laws and receive them from the state of lebanon not from iran!
Listen to this idiot, talking about preventing Lebanon from becoming a base for regional and international objectives, look in the mirror you d--kh--d.
Also the 2009 elections showed who the people of Lebanon wants and still this militis used militia like tactics to change the outcome, so what prevents that from happening again.
I would actually pay money just for you to shut up Qassem, you and your leader thats hiding.
