יום העצמאות ה66 של לבנון......מתוכם מעל 20 שנים של חוסר עצמאות מוחלט.
כל סיפור הכטב"מ של שבת הוא חלק מפוזה לבנונית של "עצמאות"
קאסם ההתנגדות תישאר לרצון הרוב הלבנוני:
Qassem: Resistance Will Remain. Pre-Agreement on it in Ministerial Statement
Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said that the "Ministerial Statement is bound to happen at the end. We previously agree on what's to be mentioned in the statement and we will not fall in arguments and polemics".
"The opposition already knows that the majority in Lebanon want the resistance to stay and to be strengthened," Qassem added.
Qassem was firm in his stance regarding the existence of the resistance in Lebanon alleging that those who are against it refuse not owning it or be part of it. "This resistance gave us pride, freed us and constitutes a deterring force against Israel. We will not be weakened by our own will," concluded Qassem.

בו בזמן דרישות להשתלטות על ארסנל החיזבאללה:
Soaid: We Insist Hizbullah, Iranian Arms be Under Legitimate Control
March 14 Forces General Secretariat Fares Soaid said Sunday that Christian leaders within the coalition insist that "Hizbullah and Iranian weapons be under legitimate control."
In an interview with Future News TV, Soaid said it was "natural for March 14 forces to say outright 'No weapons outside the state control.'"

ונסראללה....האחר הפאטריאך המרוני של לבנון נסראללה ספייר:
אין לי בעיה עם הצהרות ה"התנגדות" של הנשיא סלימאן אבל לא להתנגדות של חיזבאללה.
Sfeir: There's a Difference between Resistance and Army Weapons
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir said Sunday he does not oppose President Michel Suleiman's views on the resistance, but added that there is a difference between resistance and Lebanese army weapons.
"We do not object to remarks made by the President on the resistance during his speech on the eve of Independence Day," Sfeir told reporters at Beirut airport.
"I am not aware of the existence of a regular army and the resistance in one country at the same time," Sfeir pointed.
"There are rules and general assumptions common all over the world," Sfeir added before heading to the Vatican to take part in the preparation for the work of Middle East Churches.
"Lebanon is considered as a small country by Israel and cannot curb attacks" carried out by the Jewish state, he said.
"The resistance has so far tried, but I don't know if it had succeed or not," Sfeir added.
In response to a question on Israel's continued occupation of Shebaa Farms and Kfar Shouba Hills, Sfeir said: "This is a long standing conflict. We hope Lebanon would spread its sovereignty over all its territory."
"Israel, however, and those backing it, prevent Lebanon from achieving sovereignty," Sfeir believed
