08/12/2009 Lebanon's Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir said Tuesday that he rejects a "resistance army that would one day use its weapons against the enemy and another day domestically."
Sfeir reiterated that he refuses having the "Resistance army" as an independent entity parallel to the Lebanese army.
The Maronite Patriarch claimed that "he Lebanese army alone should confront the enemy," calling on the Resistance integrate itself into the army.
According to Sfeir, whoever prioritizes his own interests over Lebanon’s destroys the country.
Sfeir made his remark before heading to Baabda Palace for talks with President Michel Sleiman.
During their meeting, Sfeir and Sleiman reportedly discussed Lebanon's latest developments, the situation of the Christians with a particular focus on the Maronites.
