LF Bloc Seeks to Remove Resistance from Policy Statement!


Almanar

29/11/2009 Lebanese were still "celebrating" the "gift" presented by their government on the eve of Al-Adha, in reference to the government's ministerial statement, when the Lebanese Forces decided once again to "disturb" everyone…

Thus, after his so-called "allies" before his "rivals" confirmed the country's fundamental right of "Resistance" until the liberation of all Lebanese territory occupied by the Israeli enemy, LF chief Samir Geagea wasn't satisfied.

The reason is so simple. In his dictionary, there's nothing called "Resistance"!

Thus, Geagea didn't hesitate to gather his bloc, including his two "independent" ministers, and announce the Lebanese Forces "opposition" to the concept of "Resistance," of course without telling the Lebanese what was his "smart plan" to face the Israeli occupation and continuous threats against his country.

Following the "exceptional" meeting at Geagea's residence, the Lebanese Forces parliamentary bloc claimed that "the mentioning of the resistance in the sixth article of the ministerial Policy Statement contradicts with the statement itself in the first place, and with the Constitution and Taef Accord, as well as with Resolution 1701 and other international resolutions."

Therefore, the bloc asked the government to "amend that article or terminate it in preservation of its credibility, solemnity, and constitutionality."

"It contradicts the charter of coexistence in addition to being unconstitutional and illegal, therefore it is invalid," the bloc went on to claim.

The bloc pretended that the Taef Accord did not include any hint about the resistance, but rather "it urged respecting international resolutions, extending authority of the State on all territories, and disarming Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias without exceptions."

"The mentioning of the word 'Resistance' in the sixth article is a bypassing of the national dialogue table and predetermination of its resolutions," it concluded.

One message can be understood from the LF new "show": it's launching a "trivial opposition within the government," a concept that the Lebanese Forces itself rejected and condemned before finding itself alone in the "middle of the storm"!
