Aoun ‘Not in Mood’ to Sit at Same Table with Critics and Thieves
Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun informed Baabda palace that he rejected to attend the presidential Iftar on Thursday because he refuses to sit at the same table with “some thieves and public money squanderers,” As Safir daily reported.
Aoun also told the FPM’s OTV station that he didn’t attend the Iftar in Baabda because his “mood” does not allow him to sit with officials that criticized his proposal of a draft-law that would allow the energy ministry to raise a $1.2 billion fund to build plants to produce 700 megawatts of electricity.
The draft law faced a strong rejection from March 14 MPs and also drew skepticism from some of Aoun’s allies, including members of Walid Jumblat’s National Struggle Front bloc, during a parliamentary session on Wednesday.
Aoun said that he was frustrated because the dispute that erupted at the session didn’t come on the draft law itself but it exceeded to personal insults.
“It appeared as if we are going to put the $1.2 billion in our pockets,” the lawmaker told OTV, saying he was even shocked by the negligence of some cabinet ministers during the parliamentary session.
“We were expecting the electricity plan to receive consensus” in parliament, he said. “I was very much shocked by some of our ministers who didn’t insist that the plan could not be postponed.”

Why doesn't Aoun reveal what he knows about whom in regards to the thieves ? He continues to ramble on and on about the subject but keeps Lebanese society in the dark as to the details? Why ????

GMA SUR L’IFTAR
Il cherche toujours à m’énerver,
A me rappeler la présidence,
Et à m’imposer sa présence.
Je ne peux même plus rêver.
Il organise des conférences,
Lance des iftars et des dîners,
Il veut me voir triste et miné,
C’est sans compter ma prudence.
A ses iftars je n’irai pas,
Même si Hassan y va,
Car avec lui plus rien ne va,
Je ferai comme s’il n’existe pas.

How are you supporting your lifestyle my dear General? Is it from your retirement pension of a few hundred dollars a month, or from the political donations directly controlled by you.Unless there' s some more money let from the 30 million US dollars you took away to your french hide, after Pres Gemayel appointed you prime minister, and you ruined what was left of the country then...As to critics, no one does pay anymore attention to your filthy language when you loose your temper...They put it down to your unstable and irrational character. But, tell me General, Who is it that wants to sit with you in the first place!

I hate to keep making references to some common sayings, but there have just been too many ripe opportunities to do so lately. When Aoun says he refuses to sit at the same table with 'some thieves and public money squanderers', that is like the phrase 'the pot calling the kettle black'. There is a Seinfeld episode where George (who is bald) doesn't want to date a woman who is bald, and Elaine had to explain to him the irony telling George, 'you are bald'. In the case it would be saying Aoun 'you are a thief'.
While I am a March 14th supporter, I believe that all politicians to a greater or lesser degree have dirty hands, so Aoun is in NO position to be inferring that he is without sin. At least Geagea didn't run away like a coward and leave his men to suffer their fate as they did.

He could have sat at a different table than his son-in-law.
