Geagea addresses Lebanese govt. over South rockets

[An Nahar] Lebanese Forces
A Christian political party founded by Bashir Gemayel, who was then bumped off when he was elected president of Leb...
leader 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...
on Thursday addressed questions to the Lebanese government after dozens of rockets were fired from south Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
at northern Israel.

"What are the national obligations that necessitate firing dozens of rockets from south Lebanon at Israel at this very moment and what will the Lebanese government’s response be regarding its pledges to commit to the stipulations of Resolution 1701?" Geagea asked in a statement.

"What if a single windowpane gets shattered at the house of a Lebanese citizen in the South due to the exchange of rockets and artillery shelling? From where will the Lebanese government bring the necessary money to fix it? Not to mention the main, essential and urgent question: Has the Lebanese government met or taken the decision to fire the rockets from the South at Israel?" the LF leader added.

"By ceding the state’s strategic decision to the Axis of Defiance, the Lebanese government would be renouncing its main responsibilities of preserving the security of the country and its citizens," Geagea warned.

He added that "a presidential candidate who would not pledge to return the entire strategic decision to the Lebanese state would not be eligible to be a candidate nor a president."
