(orginal to post later)
Geagea', in a meeting with ambassador Feltman, thinks that a cease fire that does not confiscate Hezbollah's weapons will be an 'empty shell'.
Geagea' believes that the surest way to get Hezbollah's weapons is to "transform it into a domestic problem". This, Geagea' believes, along with Israeli attrition should suffice in destroying Hezbollah.... In regards other Lebanese politicos, Geagea' told Feltman that Nabih Berri was 'needed' for some time, but that his popularity will be decreased once Hezbollah is destryed.
As for Michel Aoun's poularity (so far on the increase), Geagea' shook his head and said that Aoun's base is totally dislocated ...
