| [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 Friday noted that Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's speech on Thursday "included an amount of contradictions, especially regarding the facts he demonstrated, such as (former U.S. secretary of state Henry) Kissinger's letter, which was created by a journalist who had outlined his vision for a possible reply to a letter addressed by (late National Bloc leader) Raymond Edde" to Kissinger. "Is it appropriate to demonstrate the role and stance of ex-PM Fouad Saniora's government during the July War" the way Nasrallah did, Geagea wondered during a chat with news hounds in Maarab. Commenting on Nasrallah's remarks that France was behind a suggestion about tripartite power-sharing in Leb, Geagea said: "Is the Lebanese Constitution in the pocket of the French? Are they concerned with the issue of tripartite power-sharing? We will ask them for clarifications about this issue." Geagea addressed Nasrallah saying: "Why would you pour oil (on fire) if you believe that a civil strife is being plotted?" "I suggest performing all the necessary steps to fend off civil strife and avoid giving the Israelis the context to ignite it," Geagea added. The LF leader called on Hizbullah's chief "not to publicly raise these issues," asking him to discuss them at the national dialogue table and with the officials concerned "to avoid negative popular reactions." Geagea warned that "the chances of civil strife have become higher after Sayyed Nasrallah's speech," advising Hizbullah's number one not to pave the way for discord. As to the anticipated indictment in the murder case of ex-PM Rafik Hariri and his On the other hand, he noted that "there are no Saudi-Syrian negotiations, but rather contacts demanding Hizbullah to keep the situation stable in Leb." |
