kahwajiLebanese Army commander  Gen. Jean Kahwaji vowed on Friday to liberate the  land occupied by Israel and to bring back home the servicemen taken hostage by Islamists .

“We will not despair until we liberate the last inch of our occupied land,” Kahwaji said on the occasion marking Resistance and Liberation Day.

The military commander also vowed to preserve the nation’s land, people and institutions, expressing confidence in the army’s willingness to be honored with such a “noble mission.”

Israel continues to occupy the Shebaa Farms area, Kfarshouba hills and the northern part of Ghajar.

Kahwaji  also reiterated that the army would exert all efforts to free the troops and policemen taken captive by Islamists from the northeastern border town of Arsal in August last year.

“We will do all we can to release them and bring them back to their families and institutions,” he said.

“After doubts about your ability to confront terrorist organizations, you succeeded in thwarting their sabotaging goals which consolidated the confidence that the Lebanese (people) have in you and … lured friendly countries to provide military assistance to the institution,”Kahwaji  told troops, in reference to 4 billion grant the army received from Saudi Arabia

Qahwaji stressed that “the preservation of coexistence, the commitment to the National Pact and the full loyalty to Lebanon have been the supreme objectives of the institution.”

The army proved “its only obsession is to preserve the nation,” and that it rejects political disputes and sectarian divisions among its ranks, he said.

He urged troops to remain loyal to such objectives and characteristics, which are “Lebanon’s sole protectors” and which “stop enemies from luring them to chaos and disintegration.”

Kahwaji also lauded soldiers for being “brave” and preserving stability, “setting an example on national unity, which had always been the reason for the nation’s existence as an independent, free and independent state.”

        I think your information is incorrect…. Since when has Lebanon made independent decisions free foreign interventions?

    Uhh the UN states that Israel is not occupying any Lebanese territory. Oh well, Hezbuts need an excuse to justify their presence in Lebanon.

      Oh cookie … you know it was the farms ASSad ‘gave’ to Lebanese farmers when he occupied them.
      Israelis were in a snit he didn’t give them to them … since they were so friendly over the years.
      And the farmers felt ‘at home’ with the concept, having run the sheep and goats ragged on them for lifetimes … just like the ones who used to have olive orchards, and food-fields beside Monasteries.
      (And not forgetting the apple orchards either..)
      No fault that the UN doesn’t know it’s ASS from a hole in the ground. They are busy dodging shells in the ‘Blue Zone’ which no-one appreciates, and nether of your ‘sides’ respects.
      AND STILL, no-one asks the farmers WHAT they want.

        You just nailed the motive for War in Syria, as Israel sold Syrian oil in 2010 to “Genie in a bottle” Shale.. to Murdo and Rottenschilde

    Well, now Kahwaji becomes a bit of a disappointment. An Army Leader becoming a politician? Not good.
    “We will not despair until we liberate the last inch of our occupied land,”…..
    HAVE WE GOTTEN BAD TRANSLATIONS AGAIN???
    Listen … if you manage to ‘liberate’ by being peaceful and chatting it up with the neighbours, I cannot see how that would make you ‘despair’. Or did you not want it back? (seems weird …)

    I DO like the “full loyalty to Lebanon” bit, however … and the secular thinking needed to have preservation AND co-existence. That part comes out ok … 😉
    Now, if you could feed some starving Lebanese in Tripoli … well, they might not be so afraid of your boys too.

    Hilarious! At least he has his priorities right! Maybe he will tackle global warming after this, bc Lebanon faces no other problems or threats. LOL.
