Geagea Tells Hariri to Stay Abroad, Says Jumblat is Like Master Sergeant Schultz
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea advised former Premier Saad Hariri to remain abroad over security fears and described Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat as Master Sergeant Hans Georg Schultz of an American TV sitcom.
Schultz was known in the Hogan's Heroes sitcom of simply looking the other way, repeating "I hear nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing!"
The sitcom was broadcast in the 1960s and early 70s.
“I cannot make it clearer,” Geagea told al-Akhbar newspaper about Jumblat.
When asked about Hariri, the LF leader advised him to “stay where you are.”
“Had Saad Hariri been here today, the other team (March 8) would have used his presence as a pressure tool on us,” he said, adding that the focus of the March 14 coalition today is to continue with its opposition project.
About his ties with the seat of the Maronite church in Bkirki, Geagea said: “Patriarch (Beshara) al-Rahi is a dynamic person and his tours in the region give confidence to everyone.”
While confirming that he would attend a meeting of top Maronite officials on August 25, he expressed reservations about it saying Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun hasn’t committed himself to an agreement reached in the last meeting to adopt a calm rhetoric and not make personal accusations against each other.
Turning to the developments in Syria, Geagea said: “What is happening is unacceptable by all standards.”
“There is no turning back,” he told his interviewer adding that the Assad regime is heading towards collapse.
Geagea also accused the March 8 forces of seeking to shove March 14 in the Syrian crisis. But he stressed that the Lebanese opposition only expresses its condemnation of the injustice in Syria.
“This is an ethical stance towards the people that are heading towards freedom, democracy and modernization,” he said.

Every time Geagea speaks, it's like an explosion of truth in an atmosphere of lies from M8 minions. Compare to the incredulous statements from Aoun yesterday, following directions from Assad to deny the killing of innocent protesters, and trying prop up the murderous regime in Damascus.
Gotta love the new nickname for Jumblatt. Perfect

Aoun has proven to be the lowest of the low, on equal footing with Jumblatt.
It is a good thing for him that the Minister of Interior has been appointed by Hizbullah. That is the only way that he will retain a few seats in Parliament at the next election. As for Samir, he is credible and unwavering. It is too bad that the LF under his leadership have such a bad record. I can understand why a large chunk of the population will never forgive him but he remains the only strong and independent Christian leader in Lebanon.

As per usual Geagea speaks the truth and communicates clearly. Of course even Sgt. Schultz would have sounded witty if he was speaking after GMA.

Dr Geagea is a true leader, which is lacking in Lebanon at the moment.Geagea has proved time and time again he is loyal,brave,and very intelligent.Geagea is the light on the hill for the true believers and the one that is keeping the dream alive.Lance corporal Aoun lost all credibility when he abandoned he's troops to be massacred by the Syrian regime.LC Aoun is morally and politically bankrupt.I salute u Dr.

A speech written by an angle and read by the devil. I like what he says but as they say "talk is cheap".
