Aoun: March 14 'Bunch of Corrupt People'
Beirut, 31 Aug 07, 09:48

Free Patriotic Movement leader General Michel Aoun lashed out at the majority March 14 Alliance, saying they "are nothing but a bunch of corrupt people."
"They dare not share power with anyone, not even partially, because they are a bunch of corrupt people," Aoun told supporters who visited him at his residence in Rabiyeh.

"They should not be permitted to choose the next President for Lebanon," Aoun insisted.

He said talk about electing a new head of state by a two-thirds quorum or a half-plus-one of MPs has become "like a dancing game."

"…No. We do not choose Iran as a substitute for America nor Syria in place of America," Aoun said. "Instead, we choose peace instead of civil war."
