Saniora Hits Back at Aoun: Let Him Give Himself a 'One-Way Ticket'

W300

Head of the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc, former premier Fouad Saniora, on Sunday snapped back at Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun over the latter’s recent remarks against ex-PM Saad Hariri and “the policies of ex-PM Rafik Hariri.”

“We have recently heard remarks full of spite, malice and tension, such as those voiced by someone who said he had given (ex-)PM Saad Hariri a ‘one-way ticket,”’ Saniora said of Aoun, without naming him.

“I don’t know if he said what he said because he owns a travel agency or because he wanted or wants to give the premier (Najib Miqati) a ‘religious edict’ to issue such a ticket,” Saniora added.

“I tell those delusional people that their real aim is to give one-way tickets to millions of Lebanese … but wouldn’t it be easier for that person to issue a one-way ticket for himself,” he went on to say.

Saniora vowed that the Lebanese people will remain defiant.

Addressing Miqati, Saniora added: “Were you designated as a premier in order to eradicate the legacy” of Rafik Hariri.

Commenting on the fact that the new government comprises four ministers who hail from the northern city of Tripoli, Miqati’s hometown, Saniora said Tripoli was not in need of “cosmetics.”

Tripoli "rather needs someone to truly represent its true essence and patriotic and Arab spirit which is committed to Lebanon and the Taef Accord. It (Tripoli) was expecting someone to seek to prevent strife rather than to ignite it, whether intentionally or unintentionally,” Saniora added.

He called on President Michel Suleiman and PM Miqati to shoulder their “historic responsibility” in preventing any vengeful acts against the members of the new opposition or any civil servant affiliated with the March 14 camp.

who born is one country, NEVER NEEDS to get one airtiket to return, it is his homeland, and besides he is not scaping of being accused by something wrong, so the point what MR.HARIRI returns to the country, it is a topic of days, like or not to whom would prefer him so far, Opossosition to Hariri can tell any thing to him, it is obvious to wait FLOWERS FROM THIS SIDE, so if he doesnt makw SHADOW TO THOSE WHAT ARE IN POWER, for what reason make too much noise to hide his voice, image, person, TO WHAT THEY ARE SCARE FROM HIM?????

to Michel N. Aoun & Co. :

"And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
Matthew 7:4 "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank [is] in your own eye?

how can you have any respect for a man who has lunch and a tea party with the snakes who were pounding Beirut to dust that very same evening and then crying crocodile tears in the council for the 2500 lives he witnessed perished in 30 days.

how funny some comments are here from people who forget too fast or on purpose because they are told to by their orange puppet!

don t you forget that your orange master told that the debt lebanon is suffering from was mainly due to the syrians who racketted lebanon?
don t you forget that your general told that the hizb is a terrorist party and a cancer for lebanon just before he came back to lebanon?
don t you forget that he begged the US senate to pass the 1559 against your new allies the syrians and in order to disarm the hizb?
don t you forget that most of your new allies also stole millions of dollars from the state? are you calling to judge them? I don t think so seeing the blindness and hatred you and your beloved masters show!
the man that you thanked so much for offering a seat to the syrian sunni puppet are you going to judge him for his killings and theft of the state and for corruption?
keep on making us laugh by your hypocritical comments! thx for the fun

How could anyone defend GMA, seriously a dwarf of a sane human being? let me elaborate:
as a military man, he abandoned his subordinates and his soldiers who fought the Syrians and fled to the nearest embassy for refuge, Ironicaly the French Embassy - as a Family man, did he not leave his family behind too? as a leader of morons and semi-retards like him , he colaborated with the highest bidder in this case Iran by-proxy "Party of God" the killing and kidnapping machine in the name of the all-mighty- without their blind directed votes where would he be? - history will judge him as the failed General first and foremost - and a " leader" for the highest bidder.

Maya, it is worthless to argue with FPM followers, are they are most extremists than Hezbollah followers, they only watch Manar now, not even OTV, they preach Syrians while they were killing their women , childrens, brothers, uncles, in the Liberation War.

- I am a christian, and i thank god i do not owe any parties any money , but what Rafik Hariri the father did to Lebanon was exactly as you said, what no one would have ever done. He built the airport anew again, and doesnt envy any airport in the world, he built us the downtown again , which is beautiful. He brought qualified people , like Daoud el Sayegh, Riad Salameh ( Central bank governor ), Safadi ( Finance minister ), He gave equal rights to christians and you can see that Future TV anchors are mostly christians, The debt we had was half swallowed by syrian puppets here : Berri, Qanso, Jumblat etc.. One of SOLIDERE's biggest shareholders is a christian affiliated to the FPM , and they still argue... it is a fact .

Default-user-icon Pacifier (Guest) almost 13 years

What has his allies brought us ? now that is the true question FPM has to ask himself, instead of falsifying the truth as usual :

- Hezbollah : Israeli zionist tool , warmongers for the Israeli schemes, they protect their borders indirectly by allowing not palestinians to throw rockets from there.
- Many spies for Israel , mostly shiites, and high ranked officials, were found among them and have been there since the birth of it.
- Nobody ever wondered what happened in 2006? Hezbollah kidnapped 2 DRUZE soldiers, it was a trap ! they fell unconsciously ( or maybe consciously ) in it , gave Israel the excuse to bombard us during supposedly the beginning of a new Lebanon in the aftermath of 2005.
- Illegal buildings every where on illegal properties, who gave them the permission?
- Electricity and water flourishing there, while they pay nothing and the rest of Lebanon has to pay for them.
- No Sunni, christian in their militia, or even on their TV station Al Manar.
- praising 24/24 Iran

And finally the war which cost us more than 6 billion $ destruction in a month, put it in parallel with 45 billion in reconstruction, Syrian stealing, renovation of downtown, airport, Lebanese politicians stealing ( Lahoud , Berri, Qanso, Jumblat ), now tell me , both debts caused harm to Lebanon, but see the logic, 6 billion in a month and 45 billion in 15 years, now if i calculate eternal war that hezbollah wants, that would cost us 72 billion per year, times 15, you do the math and see who harmed , harms and will harm more Lebanon in the near future .

- General Aoun, please do also give back the 15 million you took to Paris, also explain to me the hundreds of bodyguards in Rabieh if you just have a salary of an MP and retreated General, which should not exceed 130000 a year, if you have more than 30 bodyguards, each one is payed just a 500 $ per month, it exceeds your annual benefits, and also please explain 50 million for OTV that Bachar gave you to be his friend

And Last but not Least, to Le Phénicien, i will not insult you like the rest does on this site , even though i dont share your opinion on most topics, i still respect everybody i talk to, and i would like to ask you, as i saw , read, and understood, you are a Bachir Gemayel fan, and of the Old Lebanese forces, just as my self and many, can you explain me, how come you accept Hezbollah weapons? by accepting them Aoun is leaving the palestinians with weapons too and remember how much harm those weapons brought to Lebanon and christians during the civil war...

- Did you forget how the Syrians bombed ruthlessly Ashrafieh, Zahlé, Ain el Rummaneh, Saifi ?

- Did you forget the General Aoun was helping Bachir under code name RAAD, during the Lebanese civil war , and that when Hezbollah denied our brave resistance, and our leader's cause and martyrdom, Aoun did not even blink or respond? They only think they are the only resistance Lebanon has ever had, didnt GMA resist too in Liberation war?

Default-user-icon Majnoun (Guest) almost 13 years

Aoun is mad and pissed cause they didn't share the money stolen. So he wants to audit the books from 1990 and up. everything before 1990 is in the past so it doesn't count! or maybe he knows how much he took with him to paris and doesn't need to be reminded.

Aoun sucks for saying what he said about the one-way ticket thing. Not nice, no respect for freedom or democracy, no respect for fellow Lebanese, etc. But this Saniora guy he himslef sucks too. So there goes the problem in Lebanon: all politicians suck. They need to leave the Lebanese people alone. Real Lebanese do not want Iran, nor saudi to rule them; And especially they do not want israel the evil one either.

Default-user-icon Pacifier (Guest) almost 13 years

Mowaten, what can i say to you exept you do not see reality in front , The enormous debt of 45 billion was shared not only by filhy lebanese politicians that you follow, but the syrian took their part two which was more than half of it, Rafik Hariri reconstructed Beirut, the Airport, hospitals, and schools. Do you know how much student christians and muslims have been tought at those schools? and all of this is from his pocket. so are hospitals that are funded by his organisation. You keep on spitting hate to the guy when you have to see what the people you follow did to Lebanon :

- Emile Lahoud, Berri, Jumblat, Qanso, Wahhab, all of those stole so much money too, specially Isteez from the energy ministry.

- HEZBOLLAH the evil zionist tool , filled with mossad agents, waged a destructive war after falling in Israeli trap, caused the destruction of all infrastructure, more than 6 billion $ in one month of debts. May god damn you and damn Hezbollah for ever, worthless disgusting worms

Default-user-icon Pacifier (Guest) almost 13 years

Tell me mowaten , what did you resist in 2006? more than 2000 civilians dead, from our side of course, millions of cluster bombs in the south now, more than 300 Hezbollah soldiers dead, and only 220 israeli soldiers dead and from your 5000 rockets, you manage to damage 3 rooftops in tel aviv and kill 10 civilians and 2 dogs, wow , what an achievement. this is a '' DIVINE VICTORY '' , and ontop of that they screwed Hezbollah now by putting UN Soldiers on the borders, meaning Hezbollah is done as a resistance and the Zionist planned it so he becomes only a militia in Lebanon, and indeed, may 7th, and recent threats proved they are notthing but thugs and murderers, HEZBOLLAH and your pathetic GENERAL AOUN are nothing, do you think Nasrallah forgot that? but let me tell you one thing,you can try to come to christian areas, we are ready for you and your overrated militia, we will show you how we resisted palestinians and syrians alone for 15 years,while you couldnt resist for a month,losers
