"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Geagea Urges Aoun to 'Rescue His Tenure' and Hizbullah to 'Return to Lebanon'- Naharnet

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Sunday called on President Michel Aoun to “rescue his presidential tenure” through “reining in the greed” of some officials regarding the new government.
“I call on President Aoun to take the initiative of rescuing his presidential tenure with his own hands, starting by the formation of the new government. We are only asking him to rein in the greed of some parties and to rescue the grand presidential settlement which is truly threatened at the moment,” Geagea said in a speech during the LF's annual “martyrs mass” in Maarab.
“We are very concerned with consolidating the 'strong president' concept, which is very necessary for national balance, and to be able to do so we want the president to be successful and to be a president of managing solutions rather than crises... We are among the main backers of President Aoun, the Presidency and the presidential tenure,” the LF leader noted.
He however lamented that “some are undermining the presidential tenure's grand national policies for the sake of their petty personal interests.”
