"Every time I call to see what's going on the lines are busy," he said of the U.S. Embassy. "When they answer, they say they don't know," said Chakhtoura, who wants to be back in Boston before his fashion design classes start Sept. 6."
All together now ... Waaaahhhh!
Here comes the MSM trying to manufacture another "Katrina-like' crisis for President Bush.
Boy, the whiners really learned from Katrina, didn't they.
Here we go...watch the MSM and the Democrats whip this story in Katrina-like fashion!
Beirut--New Orleans of the Levant
I don't suppose that these people accept any responsibility at all for being there in the first place? Or for the fact that the evac puts others at risk? Nah....
"Every time I call to see what's going on the lines are busy," he said of the U.S. Embassy. "When they answer, they say they don't know," said Chakhtoura, who wants to be back in Boston before his fashion design classes start Sept. 6."
LMAO...big time...
Wasn't there a poll that showed a huge majority of Americans in Lebanon are sympathetic to Hezbullah?
Why is it that the whiners always get the ink? If you are going to live in war torn countries or hurricane torn areas, you had better have your exit bags packed and ready to go....... These irresponsible people are using time and resources that would be better spent fighting the WOT and winning it. Leave anyone who whines………ungrateful nits………
Ask not what your country can do for you...instead shut the hell up and we'll get to you as soon as we can.
Chicks on first!
It's all Bush's fault.
More Katrina-like morons who expect an immediate response and immediate protection from dangers into which they placed themselves.
Confusion in a war zone? Gee, who would have guessed?
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Jonathan Chakhtoura, a 19-year-old Lebanese-American, is eager to escape the outbreak of Mideast fighting here. But he says he's extremely disappointed with the way U.S. authorities have handled the evacuation."Every time I call to see what's going on the lines are busy," he said of the U.S. Embassy. "When they answer, they say they don't know," said Chakhtoura, who wants to be back in Boston before his fashion design classes start Sept. 6.
So, what was his exit strategy PRE-WAR to leaving Lebanon to go back to college by September 6th?
I really fail to see what the issue is here. He could head to a border and LEAVE the area of combat.
Where does he plan to spend his time until then? And why does he think he wouldn't be in Boston by 9/6?
However, I'll bet you would 'waaaaahhh' if you were in his same shoes. Oh, sorry, that's right. You'll say that you wouldn't do such a thing as complain when faced with lousy service that you had already paid for as a taxpayer. Sorry to make the charge.
No kidding, Waaaaaahhhhh. Think Hurricane Katrina, buddy. What are you doing living in a war zone in the first place? Second, get your sorry behind outta there. Waiting for Bush to do it is pathetic.
they'll be indignant as heck. They are well practiced at this emotion. It must suck to have to carry a chip around on your shoulder your whole life.
Make Beirut a Christian Monte Carlo city state and they won't have this problem. Give the rest to Syria as part of a deal. Then if a shot gets fired, Syria gets it.
These crybabies can shut their cakeholes, as far as I'm concerned. After shutting up, they can shove it. (as terrorist supporter TeRAYZA Heinz-Kerry would say).
What a surprise, AP is saying it is President Bush's fault.
