جنبلاط: ليس مشرفاً أن ينال أحد الدعم من الأسد

Read this story in English W460

أكد رئيس "جبهة النضال الوطني" وليد جنبلاط أنه ليس مشرفاً أن ينال أحد الدعم من الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد في الانتخابات الرئاسية، مردفاً أن "ما يجري بين الأقطاب الكبار ليس من شأني".

وشدد جنبلاط في حديث لصحيفة "الأهرام" المصرية نشر الخميس، على دعمه مرشح "اللقاء الديمقراطي" النائب هنري حلو، بالرغم من ترشح رئيس حزب "القوات اللبنانية" سمير جعجع ورئيس تكتل "التغيير والإصلاح" النائب ميشال عون للإنتخابات الرئاسية.

وأضاف: "لن نسحب ترشحنا لصالح آخرين أياً كانت المعادلات والتوافقات، وتلك هي الديمقراطية"، مردفاً أنه قد تكون هناك أسماء أخرى لم تترشح بعد.

ورداً على سؤال حول دعم الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد لعون بالرئاسة، أشار جنبلاط الى أنه "ليس مشرفاً أن ينال أحد الدعم من بشار، ونحن من نقرر".

وكان رئيس تيار "المردة" سليمان فرنجية قد أعلن أن الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد يجب أن يكون راضيا عن أي رئيس جديد للبنان، قائلا أن الأخير سيكون "فرحا" بوصول عون إلى قصر بعبدا.

وإذ أكد جنبلاط في حديثه أنه ليس على اطلاع إزاء التقارب بين عون و(رئيس تيار "المستقبل") سعد الحريري، شدد جنبلاط على اتخاذه موقعاً وسطياً و"ما يجري بين الأقطاب الكبار فليس من شأني".

وأضاف: "من الأفضل أن ننتخب رئيساً حتى لا ندخل في حلقة الشغور في مركز الرئاسة، ولا أستطيع أن أتنبأ بما سيحدث".

ودخل لبنان الأسبوع الرابع للفراغ بعد فشل النواب لسبع مرات على التوالي من انتخاب رئيس جديد للجمهورية، وذلك عقب نهاية ولاية الرئيس السابق ميشال سليمان في 24 أيار الفائت ورفضه التمديد أو التجديد لها.

Bravo Jumblat !

Let Aoun have the democratic courtesy of actually "running" for president instead of "running away" from potential opponents. He's a coward and when cowards are cornered, they come up with threats and intimidation and flex their muscles to get what they want !

Aoun is not getting the presidency. Definitely not with his stance of blackmail, threats and intimidation.

This is not a man you want for president. If he has no shame acting like a dictator to be, he will have no shame acting as a dictator once he's "crowned".

There is no way in hell the free people of Lebanon will ever recognize Aoun as a president. Time to move on and find candidates who actually deserve the presidency. Whoever he is, his job will be to root out all the rats and traitors that are plaguing our country starting with Hassan Nasrallah !

Come on FlameCatcher, Haram, Michel Aoun is 81 and the presidency will give him some impetus.
Aoun is acting like a spoiled old man to get his coveted presidency.
He could wait another 6 years and go for it at 87. Patience is important. He can join the "eldest leaders in the world" club:
1- Shimon Peres is 90 years, President of Israel since 2007
2 Robert Mugabe 90 years, President of Zimbabwe since 1987
3 Abdullah 89 years, King of Saudi Arabia since 2005
4 Giorgio Napolitano 88 years, President of Italy 2006
5 Queen Elizabeth II 88 years, Queen of the United Kingdom and 15 other countries 1952
6 Abdul Halim of Kedah 86 years, Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia 2011
7 Bhumibol Adulyadej 86 years, King of Thailand 1946
8 Kim Yong-nam 86 years, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of North Korea 1998
9 Arthur Foulkes 86 years, Governor-General of the Bahamas 2010
10 Karolos Papoulias 85 years, President of Greece

If he becomes president, will Aoun be a Queen Elizabeth or a Robert Mugabe?

Thumb FlameCatcher 14:13 ,2014 حزيران 19

If he becomes president, Aoun will be a hybrid between Staline, Khameini, Saddam and Mubarak !

I liked Mubarak up until he wanted his son Gamal to enherit the presidency, (although Gamal might have been good for Egypt but then again he profited from his status as son of the president. Shocking! that would never happen in Lebanon!)
But in retrospect, Mubarak resigned early and did not massacre 150,000 Egyptians. There was some good left in him. Ben Ali too.
Aoun is not even President and has already sold his soul to Khamanei and Nasrallah.

It's funny, Aoun wants his son Bassil to inherit the presidency too :)

Interesting comment from The Daily Mail website on a story on ISIL:
"This whole thing is getting so boring. Its nothing new, its been going on centuries, just like the crap between groups in Europe happened for 100 years of years. Socially they live in the dark ages still, and arming them just keeps them there! Just let them get on with it and let them find their own way and solutions."

The Maronites should be elated to see that the scum bag low life piece of filth was able to locate one who is not of the jins al 3atil. Congrats to that jins.

@ everyone, if Mustaqbal gives Aoun its backing, and surely all M8, he will become president and jumblat will be screwed. He is counting on hariri not to give his support to Aoun but in the meantime he doesnt agree on Geagea which Hariri originally supported. Aoun might get it finally and they will promise geagea for the next round.

Any Lebanese Maronite, until further notice, has the right to run for president just don't vote for the ones you don't like or you don't think are serious candidates. The way the abstaining MPs are treating this is setting a very dangerous precedent.

Jumblatt and Henri Helou are the sticks in the wheel that are saving Lebanon from either an Aoun Presidency or a Geagea Presidency. How ironic that Jumblatt is the arbiter of selecting the next Maronite President.

Well, this happens when the Christians are divided, others do the selection and Christians are required to settle for the selection made by others. Jumblatt has so many foreign masters, I am sure he is bidding one against the other to take the highest bid before removing his stick.

Why should the Syrians stand it if they have already collapsed more that 7,935 times according to your confirmations? After all, you seem to know a lot more than you are getting credit for, even from yourself. Keep those valuable predictanalysis coming, aboulgab.
