| Loyalty to Resistance Reiterates Warning against De Facto Cabinet |
| 2014-01-10 |
| [An Nahar] Hizbullah's parliamentary bloc warned on Thursday against forming a de facto cabinet, saying that regardless of the name given to such a council of minister, it remains "unconstitutional." "We call for an all-inclusive cabinet," MP Hassan Fadlallah reiterated after the bloc's meeting. The released statement after the meeting warned President Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... and Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam against forming a de facto council of ministers. It explained: "A de facto cabinet, regardless of the name given to it, is illegitimate, unconstitutional and does not conform to the Taif Accord." Political foes are currently studying a proposal suggested by the March 8 alliance on a cabinet based on the 8-8-8 lineup. Suleiman had promised that he would study the proposal put forward by Speaker Nabih KnobbyBerri Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet... , and the formation currently awaits March 14 camp's decision, specifically the approval of former PM and al-Mustaqbal ... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri... Party leader MP Saad Hariri Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too. . Tackling the recent security-related developments in the country, the statement condemned the liquidation of former Finance Minister Mohammed Shatah and the suicide kaboom in Beirut's neighborhood of Haret Hreik. "We lament the situation of chaos and the easiness with which people are being attacked and harmed without any reason," it said. "Maybe the burning of the library in (the northern city of) Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , the robbing incidents and the shootings at citizens in the city require the adoption of some legal standards that prevent the repetition of such occurrences," the MPs pointed out. The MPs considered that "Israeli aggression threatens Leb's illusory sovereignty, and that Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... s threaten the country's identity." "Therefore we should overlook political considerations and build a strong country whose laws protect its citizens and that adopts a strategy that respects the army-people-resistance equation." |
