(orginal to post later)
Geagea', in a meeting with ambassador Feltman, thinks that a cease fire that does not confiscate Hezbollah's weapons will be an 'empty shell'.
Geagea' believes that the surest way to get Hezbollah's weapons is to "transform it into a domestic problem".

As for Michel Aoun's poularity (so far on the increase), Geagea' shook his head and said that Aoun's base is totally dislocated ...
