Berri... Who Are You Fooling?


Speaker of House Mr. Berri made a press conference couple of days ago, trying to explain his attitude, and show the Lebanese people how he has being fulfilling his role exactly as a patriotic figure should do.


He was so mad, and almost lost his usual calmness because 70 MPs asked for a parliament session. NOT only that, he actually challenged them, and promised that he will "delay" such session as much as he can, if he will ever call for it.


Mr. Berri was very clear in saying that what he is doing is the only way to save the Parliament, and protect it from sectarianism. And that the worst thing that could ever happen at the current time is for a Parliament session to be hold!


Then, he made sure to use the same strategy all March 8th parties are using, which is trying to divide the March 14th front, and showing how Jumblatt and Jeajea are the reasons for the current conflict never reaching an end.


One question, Speaker of House, why didn't you tell us the real reason why you don't want a session? Do you really think we can't know the real reason? Well, let me assure you sir, we perfectly know why you don't such session to see the light.


Mr. Berri knows for sure that the first thing the government will do -if the session is held- is to ask for the Parliament trust, and for sure it will gain his trust since 70 MPs will give it (Majority of votes), and so Seniora's government will have an additional "formal" legitimate support.


One more thing, the Parliament is where the country's conflicts are dealt with, it is where the people's representatives discuss and find solutions for the state's crisis. You protect the country when you allow MPs to do their duties, NOT when you "lock" the Parliament and threaten NOT to open it till the opposition demands are met.


I said it once, and I'll say it again, March 14th made their BIGGEST mistake when they re-elected Berri, and now we are paying the price......

although berri is nothing short of a thorn in everybody's side, i believe he was reinstated as a strategical move, but i don't believe anybody saw this crisis coming. the most unfortunate thing is that the opposition is chanting patriotism, yet they are following the orders (literally) of syria. may god help those wise people that are trying to fix things.
peace

Well Failasoof I hope you realise that shiites and sunnis 9represented by berri and hariri) are playing their traditional game of subsiding chrsitians once AGAIN - so much for 'alliances'. (I have yet to see hariri come put against Nasralah's and berris anti-gaegae/jumblat remarks.

I was just being sarcastic in the above post - that is how the LF think........

Riad,
Actually what you just said is one of the oppositions attempt to show that LF is out of the picture.

Haven't you eard Jeajea? Haven't you heard N. Mouawad, Botros Harb, and the rest of March 14th christians? Read the newspaper headlines and you'll see that Hariri spokes for all of March 14th.

I wonder about Aoun though, is he ok with how things are going on? That's a good question I think...
