Army Chief: Use of Hezbollah arms internally serves Israel

Beirut - Lebanon's Army Chief Gen. Michel Suleiman said that Hezbollah did the Israeli enemy a big favor when it used the resistance arms in internal fighting


Suleiman made the remark while inspecting his troops deployed in south Lebanon.

Suleiman said that the army refrained from "resorting to the cannon during the recent incidents and this does not mean that the army was neutralized, but it aimed at averting more bloodshed and further cracks in national ranks."


"Experience proved that stability cannot be achieved without entente," he concluded

Serves Israel? How stupid is this statement? It served Iran, not Israel. The Sunnis were humilated, something that Iran wants.

As per reason Army did not do its job, the "but it aimed at averting more bloodshed" is unbelievable! Because the Army did not do anything but assist Amal and Hezbollah in their savage coup. Because the Army did nothing, the assault on the Druze and Sunnis continued. I can not see how Suleiman being President is going to help.
