From Naharnet:

Premier Fouad Saniora’s cabinet on Friday appointed Brigadier General Jean Qahwaji as Army Commander.
The cabinet observed a minute of silence to mourn the death of slain 1st Lieutenant Samer Hanna.

Mitri announced that the cabinet appointed Brigadier General Jean Qahwaji as Army Commander among other diplomatic and military appointments.

Well let’s hope that this guy does his job and maybe fixes some things in the army.  He’s definetly the best Chief we’ve had in while, especially since he wasn’t appointed by Syria.  I wish him all the best.

Note that Ibrahim Shamseldine, LF, and PSP ministers didn’t vote for him.

    Can we know more about this guy?

    Foua2d just curious: do you support any political orientation in Lebanon?

    How reliable is your information about this new Army Commander?

    I don’t trust anyone whose HA is ok with. The thing is that if you are pro-Lebanese you SHOULD be anti-AH.

    إلا أن القائد الثالث عشر للجيش لم ينل اجماع وزارياً، فحصد اكثرية 21 صوتا في مقابل تحفظ وزراء “اللقاء الديمقراطي” و”القوات اللبنانية” الاربعة وامتناع الوزير ابراهيم شمس الدين عن التصويت. وكان غاب أربعة وزراء عن الجلسة

    sweety i have to agree with fou2ad i was looking at this dudes resume he got promoted twice during the syrian occupation of lebanon , knowing that every lebanese officer that was with aoun back the and fought syria was never promoted i think he goes in the same group of animals that beleive lebanon is part of syria.

    just to let all pro syrians no hizis and aounist and ssnp your army is legiimized now for an isreli super strik in case something happen and remenber 2oulo delta al

    Unfortunately, all appointments in the military have political overtones. I hope that thisnew commander will look after the interest of his troops and not that of some militia.

    first of all, if u are a christian u should do what jesus told u to do. “mann darabaka 3ala khaddaka el ayman fadorr laho el aysar” . u can’t wish death not even to ur worst enemies.
    second of all, those who attacked the christian cities are not the chi3a. it’s the sunnies salafiyyi who follow orders of ur hakim’s master hariri. shoo nseet ghazwet el ashrafiyyi? walla nseet mashakel el danniyyi in 2000?
    looks like ur hakim is feeding u the wrong information. get ur information right before starting an argument.
    u think because u have the saleeb el mashtoob seret enta masee7i w ghayrak la2? el masee7i hewwi yalli biydefi3 3an el masee7iyyi. ur hakim so far has been following hariri orders to eliminate the christians from lebanon.

    omega bi defi3 an il massihiyeh kinda like il batrak ma khasso bil siyesse whayagou il niswenn wall the bullshit that your leaders come up with listen ya Omega no body feed me information and by the way Dr Samir geagea is not my favorite person in the LF party and my loyalty do not go to him it goes to the 15000 that fell for the christian cause

    yasou3 all man darabaka 3alla khadika il aysar dir lahou ilayman ok that means u admit that you guys been slapping us on our cheek ya3ne you admit your mistaken wlezim dirlak khade il tenne iza il ossa hek tikram 3aynak iza bte3teref inak gholtan bi amrak anna

    bass ya omega jesus did not say we have to be a mop when it comes to deffending jesus and my christianity its with peters sword that i am gonna cut your ear . keep that in mind.

    Peter lived with jesus more than you did or i did and when he felt his master was in danger he slammed another jew like him with a sword so ill be a sinner like peter it works.

    dont you ever try to say i am not a christian bghasben 3anak i accepted jesus as my savior and my king and i am christian and from lebanon ablak wabel souria taba3ak wil nasralcito ili leh2o so abel ma tige tsebe2ne 3alla massihite stop following people that calls the batrak a winker deal ?

    Salib il ouwet houwe salib mitl kil il solban honestly i have never worn one w actually ill be honored to wear a cross that was made by the monks of st charbel monastery .

    saraha Omega i was against this idea the ideaof us fighting like we are not from the same blood until i realize that the fpmr are a cancer that we have to face .

    am sorry but u landed in the wrong side my friend

    and just to finish this with you i would love to ask my fellow lfrs to really pray from their heart for every single lost person like yourself t see the light and come back to the true cause .amen

    i hope you ll change before its too late i did my job to tell you what you should know and from now on you are responsible for what you know

    htara2o il khibzet we talk later
