Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
leader MP
Michel Aoun...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
renewed on Tuesday his rejection of the funding of the Special Tribunal for Leb, slamming any potential United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
Security Council sanctions against Leb should it fail to fund it.
He said after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting: "Any sanctions against Leb over this matter are tantamount to a military invasion."
"And that would mean WAR!"
"War?"
"That'th right! War! Leb against the UNSC! We'll murderlithe 'em! We'll grind 'em into da dutht! We'll..."
[Ring!]
"Yes?"
"The men in the white coats are here, sir!"
"Help M. Aoun into his new jacket and take him away!"
"The STL is acting as if it is part of the Security Council and it should therefore fund it itself," he added.
On other local developments, the MP remarked: "We don't support increasing the price of gasoline or the Value Added Tax."
Addressing the infiltration of Syrian troops into the Bekaa town of Arsal last week, Aoun stated: "The government should assume its responsibilities and control the border between the two countries."
In addition, he noted that a joint force along the border should address matters of border violations, saying: "We don't have to take rumors into consideration."
