Hizbullah's deputy secretary general, Sheikh Naim Qassem, speaking
during an iftar banquet, said presidential elections are a delicate
matter that must proceed within the constitutional timeframe.

"We are committed to holding elections on time and in accordance with
a two-thirds quorum as the Constitution stipulates," Qassem said.

[the constitution stipulates that if a two thirds quorum is not
achieved in the second round then the session can be held with whoever
is present. And since when have Hizbollah terrorists become
constitutional experts, last I checked they were running around
starting wars and illegally arming themselves, in contravention to all
Lebanese laws and UN council resolutions.]

He said the electoral session did not convene because two-thirds of
MPs did not attend, adding that the October 23 session will only be
legal if two-thirds MPs attend.

[Hizbollah wants to change the constitution to suit itself, we have
had many president elcted by less than 2/3 majority, witness Sleiman
Frangieh who was elected with one vote difference, as for the quorum,
it is only required in the first round, March 14 forces should make
that clear, in order to dilute Hizbollah's influence and elect a
president loyal to Lebanon, and not to their masters in Damascus and
Teheran.]

We gave our answer as an opposition and agreed to Speaker Berri's
initiative, what is required is for you to give your answer,"

[how can Hizbollah pretend to be attending the session while they just
boycotted it. "Mr" Qassem: the answer you gave is a lie, at least be
honest about your perfidy, rather than pretend to be responding
positively to Berri's call for a session while you just boycotted it,
this is an outright lie, and someone (me), should call him on it.]

Qassem said, addressing the majority, "the answer comes in taking
tangible steps and we are ready to join with you for partnership,
consensus and unity."

[the only consensus you want is if the majority will agree to a Syrian
stooge, consensus in this sense is wrong, we should just elect a
president representative of LEBANON, not a representative of the
giraffe head murderer in Damascus.]

Basil, Hezbollah is not
interested in democracy. It undermines their idea of imposing
themselves. In the past, Shiites did not like the Ottomans and
Sunnis imposing Sunni power on them. And God knows, no one should
impose themselves on the other whether Druze on Maronite or Maronite

That is the point. No sect should impose on any other sect. This will be
achieved one day when eliminate secterianism and build a modern government..

on Sunni or Sunni on Shiite and what Hezbollah is doing is going
against Lebanese democracy or majority rules. They are with the old
ways of imperialism with Iran being what Turkey was for the Sunnis.
I beg your pardon if the analogy is very bad, but this sectarianism by
Hezbollah reminds me of that bad parts of the past where one tribe
seeks to overpower the other tribe and smother them. The
parliamentarians have a right to exercise a majority vote and choose
the president. The Shiites have their speaker in Berri. They cannot
impose a president on the country. It is not acceptable. It will
only encourage more factionalism and more fears and warlike
feelings... It is irresponsible.
