Aoun: March 14 Luring Hizbullah to Use Weapons Against it
2011-03-14
Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
leader Michel Aoun
...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
has accused the March 14
Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys...
forces of luring Hizbullah to use its arms against the coalition and its supporters.

"We hope this doesn't take place. But if so, then they would have deserved it," Aoun said during a dinner held by the FPM.

He said March 14 officials were resorting to inciting rhetoric to instigate Hizbullah into recreating another May 7 (2008) when the party's fighters seized control of large swaths of Beirut's Mohammedan sector.

Aoun reiterated that March 14 was using the Special Tribunal for Leb to achieve political gains.

"We will fight the tribunal because it is being used for political gains," the MP said.

"Those supporting it today are the same ones who were with Israel in its war against Leb," he added.
