Verbal war escalates between Lebanon speaker, PM

Share:

The verbal war between Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minster Najib Mikati continues as both leader traded criticism for the second day after the speaker accused the government of not exerting strong efforts to resolve the country’s turmoil.

Berri criticized the cabinet’s decision to postpone its meeting till the end of the month amid the deadly gunbattles in the northern city of Tripoli and the series of kidnappings of Syrian and Turkish nationals last week, according to a report by An Nahar newspaper

“How could the cabinet postpone its meeting to the end of the month [in light of these events]?” Berri told the daily

The government is now trying to live with the illness instead of treating it ,” the speaker, who is also the leader of the Amal Movement , said.

But PM Mikati responded by saying that the “country is in great danger” and “the political authority is resolving each case (on its own )and dealing with each new crisis as it arises.”

“The scene that we saw last Wednesday was a scene of war,” he told An Nahar in reference to al-Mikdad clan’s kidnapping of Syrians and a Turkish man in retaliation for the abduction of Hassan al-Mikdad by the Syrian rebels in Damascus and the blocking of the airport road by the relatves of the Lebanese Shiite pilgrims who were kidnapped in Syria last May

Mikati stressed that “the airport road cannot be blocked again”.

“The political forces have the willingness to end the incidents as soon as they erupt and prevent their aggravation,” he said, adding “had there been a real intention by some parties to ignite strife, then the last (incidents) in Lebanon in the past months” would have already set the country on fire.

Mikati’s comments also come after Berri a criticized the prime minister for allegedly “not wanting to govern.”

Berri also said that followings Syria’s uprising, Mikati found himself in new circumstances that did not match his calculations.

But Mikati shot back by saying: “Governing the country was never limited to the government.”

“As a partner, member of the government, and the head of the legislative authority in Lebanon, Berri is aware of the extent of the burden on my shoulders,” Mikati said.

Berri is closely allied with the Iranian and Syrian backed Hezbollah militant group which dominates the so called ” made in Syria “cabinet of PM Mikati.

Since the uprising in Syria Mikati who was Hezbollah’s candidate to lead the government decided to dissociate Lebanon from the Syrian crisis and aligned himself more closely with the centrists ( The Lebanese president Michel Suleiman and the PSP leader MP Walid Jumblatt)

          Re: Below:
          Before you ‘became active in this blog’  it had much less of your silly name-calling and was a better place for ideas and sensible discussions. It also had MUCH less of your bowel-related language. I have seen a few who are like you. Mostly they left to go and harass other sites, I suppose.
          I imagine you have been sent by someone else – along with the one similarly brainwashed person who clicks ‘like’ for you (if it isn’t yourself by another name) – to simply cause sane people to finally give up in disgust. You attempt to turn it into some kind of U-Tube site instead, where people only throw insults at each other. I don’t think I’ve seen one constructive thought from you. And after a couple of years on here I don’t think we’ve had anyone worse popping in to do some dirty work to a site that attempts to find some reasoning for the constant ‘anti’ feelings that exist in too many in Lebanon.
          I think YaLibnan was generally making too much sense for whichever little despot sent you.
          In fact, I am sure you must haunt other sites to do the same thing – especially against anyone who knows your sorry language and methods have no place in attempts at solving any problems.
          Sure we all make jokes and take little ‘digs’ at each other at times – and when ‘stories’ are so beyond reason or logic (like this one which has a cabinet shutting down while the north of the country goes to war) there seems little to do but fire out something insulting.
          YOU are the one who disgusts everyone, and your insults have little variation or imagination. Your fixation on excrement is a serious flaw. Probably you need a psychologist at least. You certainly need a dose of reality.
          And of course you will hate my admittedly intended insults, which I avoided making until I had read a few of your barrages … hate is your language … although you have surely shown us enough of what you really like to dig around in, while being here to create it.

          who are you sent by and how many accounts do you have on this site? Let me guess: you are at least the same person as yazidi and wargame,
          those, by the way, never insult anybody and never troll this blog which might be the reason why you pretty offen click “like” for them. 
          You are not the only one thinking these thoughts.
          in fact i am thinking that you and bs must be the same person. by creating an account pretending “he” is anti-you and your ideas you wanna display the “ignorance” and “impolitenss” of those who disagree with you.

          Wow i am impressed 5th, dont you have a life? well maybe you are hired by mossad, but only then i would understand

          Retirement is a wonderful thing, Mahdi. I hope you will enjoy some too.
          You are probably right … I spend too much time looking at computer screens … and care too much for Lebanon. Maybe a bad habit. The beach and scotch are better ones, perhaps.
          I could find a better beach too.
          Nothing changes anyway … not in a lifetime … except maybe the technology. Humans evolve slowly, even when they think they have advanced.

          One life can change in a second. With perhaps a few lives who may be attached to that one changed as well. But in the ‘grand scheme’ – it affects little.
          I am only amazed that so many strive still for the armageddon they dream of.
          We know the sun is still good for about 5 billion more years.
          I, am not. 🙂

          To be honest, Mahdi, it is due to the one basic instinctive inexplainable emotion of many mammals.
