Geagea Rejects a President Adopts Hezbollah-FPM Accord


The head of the Lebanese Forces (LF) Samir Geagea said Saturday that he opposes the election of a president who is committed to the existing understanding between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) of General Michel Aoun. He claimed that General Aoun is not the leading Christian leader and urged him to consider consensus on presidential candidates Nassib Lahoud and Butros Harb who represent the Feb. 14 bloc to "salvage Lebanon." Geagea, addressing a news conference, also accused Hezbollah and the FPM of impeding the presidential elections rejecting to adopt their understanding paper.

Meanwhile, General Michel Aoun invited Christian political, spiritual, economic, Labor and media personalities to meetings at his residence to discuss threats facing the nation due parliament's failure to elect a new head of state. The Monday-to-Wednesday meetings were called due to the "extraordinary political situation arising from the presidential vacuum and claims by a non-constitutional government that it has assumed power," according to text of the invitation.

IT'S FUNNY HOW GEAGEA KEEPS ACCUSING HEZBOLLAH, THE NATIONAL RESISTANCE OF LEBANON WHICH NEVER USED ITS WEAPONS INSIDE OF LEB OR AGAINST ANY LEBANESE. UNLIKE OTHER LEBANESE LEADERS OR POLITICAL GROUPS SUCH AS GEAGEA WHO'S KNOWN AS A WAR CRIMINAL BECAUSE HE KILLED A THOUSAND OF INNOCENT LEBANESE CHRISTIANS.

Aoun said assuming presidential powers by the Saniora government "contradicts the constitution and entente and deals a blow to coexistence" between Lebanon's 18 sects. He urged all Christian politicians invited to the meetings at his residence in suburban Rabiyeh, east of Beirut, to "shoulder your responsibilities ? in order to salvage the nation and preserve Lebanon's pluralist image."
