From Tourists Streaming into Syria from Lebanon, post 47:
To: cinives
You all might find this damn funny, but my sorry ass is marooned in Beirut, where I have been working for the IMF. If anybody has any helpful suggestions on how I can get out of this war zone, I would be most grateful. Right now, the road to Syria is the only way out of Lebanon for anyone, including U.S. citizens, and the Israelis are bombing that road. I am NOT happy with the Israelis right now. I understand their concerns about their kidnapped soldiers but bombing the Beirut Airport was not going to help them in any way.

It was also a way of screwing up the tourist season completely.
(This is the high point of the Leb. tourist season.)
Hit them where their pocket book is.

Did you take the advice of the freeper who urged you to fill the bathtub with water? Please do that, rebel, you don't know how long you'll be there and the water supply could go bad depending on 'things'.

OMG! Where did you get that photo?
To: Krodg
*shrug* sometimes that's all one can do. I wish I had the wisdom to know when to do that...

I think the worry was that Hezbolah would pull the kidnapped soldiers out via an airliner.
Still, it would make more sense to seal the borders if that was their concern.
That, and it might be as simple as someone dusted off an old "Attack Lebanon" plan and it said hit the airports.
Your in our prayers. Keep your head down.

Because there are a bunch of Israeli gunboats sitting off the coast, and they are not to keen on letting anything out right now.

Please stay safe. I just heard my friend's teenaged niece got out a day or so before all this hit the proverbial fan.
Saying prayers for you and for the innocent people in Lebanon.
And hoping the islamist extremists get their sorry butts whupped.

Okay... Head North to Syria and keep going till you hit Turkey.
The road to Damascus may be bombed... But that leads east, not north.
