President Michel Aoun warned Monday that a new anti-Hezbollah sanctions bill that the U.S. Congress is proposing would “greatly harm Lebanon and its people.”

“The draft law that is being prepared in Congress to slap new financial sanctions on Lebanese parties, institutions and individuals will greatly harm Lebanon and its people,” Aoun , a close ally of Hezbollah told a delegation from the American Task Force for Lebanon, an organization that “unites Americans of Lebanese heritage to promote a secure, stable, free and sovereign Lebanon.”

Media reports said a Lebanese delegation is conducting contacts abroad in a bid to tone down the U.S. bill.

According to reports, the proposed law might for the first time targets AMAL Movement, another key ally of Hezbollah . Other reports indicated that more Hezbollah allies may be the target of the bill including The Free Patriotic Movement (which was founded by Aoun and is currently headed by his son-in-law Gebran Bassil) and the Syrian National Social Party.

    I think i am just gonna fart right now and I hope it doesn’t hurt the resistance.. Mr Aoun you have no respect for the authority of the President. I thought when you became one things were going to go well and smooth in the country. instead every time you meet a gulfie or selfie..hezbollah forces you to turn around. what’s the hell is matter with you? you lost your dignity since The late Devil Rustom Ghazali visited you in france with a samsonite loaded with 30 Million dollars. you are a slave to the money and to Hezbollah since and now you can’t even do anything without their approval. You claim to fight for Christians right yet you are fighting to give hezbollah and Berri more voices in the government. when are we going to see the General who stood against the odds then against the Syrian Army, Hezbollah and Iran and even against George Bush. what happened to you you knucklehead.. you are defending a criminal organization who seeks nothing but war and destructions. they have done nothing to help lebanon. they are killing us slowly and you are helping them as if nothing else matters to you
    are you out of fucking mind you senile old man? Stop the propaganda and come to your senses and defend Lebanon first and nothing else. Either be quiet or be a true President not a slave..

    Good news! High time for these Nasrallah muppets to feel the squeeze. In fact, the move is long overdue.
