Samir Geagea... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ...
welcomed on Wednesday Beirut politicians' calls for the establishment of an arms-free capital, noting that Leb would be living in "very flawed" circumstances if such a goal is not achieved.
He told Free Leb radio: "The whole of Leb, not just Beirut, should be stripped of weapons and gangs."
He questioned however the official authorities' ability to achieve this goal, saying that no arms had been confiscated and no gunnies have been incarcerated in any of the armed festivities that had erupted in Leb over the past few years.
The LF leader explained the authorities' failure to fulfill their roles can be attributed to the people, army, and resistance equation, "which some sides are exploiting" to legitimize any action.
On Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn's statements that al-Qaeda members had infiltrated Leb through Syria, Geagea remarked: "The army and security forces are obligated to tackle this issue."
"If the claims are false, then why are the people being intimidated?" he wondered.
"Why hasn't the army been deployed in the areas that have witnessed alleged infiltration of terrorists?" he asked.
