Michel Suleiman, I Implore You ... Just Leave
By: Ibrahim al-Amin
Al-Akhbar, December 30, 2013
What does Michel Suleiman expect?
What are you doing, Suleiman? Were you saying yesterday, "Baabda is now Saudi?"
Are you now the spokesperson of a summit which brings together the two biggest enemies of Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq?
Do you believe you succeeded, when everyone else failed, to convince Saudi and France to provide finances and weapons for the army to confront aggressors against the country's sovereignty and the dignity of its people?
Do you believe, and do you want us to believe, that the Saudi-French charity organization just realized the Lebanese army's need for support and arms to maintain Lebanon's independence?
Do you believe the Saudis will fund a deal, aiming to confront the same terrorists, to whom they provide intellectual, military, financial, and media support?
How is it possible that Francois Hollande's France - which hates Arabs and Muslims, except its own - acts as an unreliable errand boy for the United States, and is responsible for supporting many terrorist activities in Syria, while its embassy in Lebanon is used for disgraceful acts against humanity and sends its spies everywhere, aiming to sabotage everything, really wants Lebanon's army to have the readiness to eliminate these elements on the borders and inside the country?
Of course, you are acting as if you will stay in your position. In fact, you are acting like this to remain in this position.
Do you want us, o great president, to believe that the king saw a vision in his dreams and woke up demanding his assistants to ask about Lebanon's military needs, then asked from the Frenchman begging at its door to increase the size of the "delivery" and take Lebanon into consideration in the prospective arms deal between Saudi and France, which is intended to strengthen cooperation against their common enemy, from Iran to Iraq to Syria to Lebanon? Is he doing this because Saad Hariri has been sleeping at the doorstep of his bedroom ever since he left Beirut, pleading and praying that the king would give this handout?
As the saying goes, shouldn't those who are leaving try to increase their good deeds?
Of course, you are acting as if you will stay in your position. In fact, you are acting like this to remain in this position. What is certain is that you are saying you are ready to do anything, including speaking in the name of the Servant of the Two Holy Sites and his Zionist friend Hollande, just to remain in your place. But what is more certain is your knowledge that you will be asked to do many things, before Abdullah and Holland officially demand the Lebanese give you a new term or maybe keep you forever.
Do you deny trying to sell Hizbullah that you are ready to reach a compromise with the government, if they agreed to extend your term, inventing a boogeyman, called "Saudi anger," if the situation in Lebanon does not go the way they want? And now you want to convince us that pandering to the Saudis is a prerequisite to maintain Lebanon's stability?
What are you doing, "beloved leader"?
Are you happy to cooperate with the ruler of the peninsula, who has no concern for the lives of tens of thousands of Syrians killed by its money, weapons, and terrorists, and who donated money stolen from his people, a third of whom live in poverty? Or are you content with Hollande, the American puppet, who forbade the French parliament from meeting to discuss the aggression on Syria, telling his people to wait for the US Congress to decide?
All Hollande knows is how to kill - in Libya, the rest of Africa, and in Syria - ever since he replaced a president, who people now wish had remained.
Let us say it as it is, or as it should be.
By God, a void in Baabda is more effective than you remaining there.
In your last visit to Riyadh, the one giving the handout told you that the army's duty is to fight Hizbullah - disarm them and prevent them from going to Syria. He told you this is the precondition for supporting the army.
In your last visit to France, Hollande told you that the Lebanese army could be included in a major deal between his country and the Saudis. However, you - Michel Suleiman - had to show signs to reassure Saudi Arabia about the future of its people in Lebanon, raise your voice against Hizbullah, and ensure that the weapons will not be used out of place.
Could you explain where it should be used? This is, unless, you believe you could unload some of the anger on the bodies of the residents of another camp in Lebanon, after the massacre of Nahr al-Bared?
On top of all of this, do you think these weapons will not fall into the hands of certain sides, which are ready or being readied to confront the resistance? Or are you going to agree to a proposal by March 14 to give some of those weapons to the Internal Security Forces?
There is nothing left to tell you directly, after you thanked the Saudis as one of its subjects. Go now. Leave the palace and presidency.
By God, a void in Baabda is more effective than you remaining there. May He preserve your honor, but just go away.
