I wonder out of the American "Tourists" that are supposed caught there--how many are "Seasoned" world tourists--and how many are SEASONALLY-RETURNING Tourists?
How many "Rescued" Tourists will END UP BEING TERRORISTS AND UNDERCOVER TERRORISTS MERELY USING A PLOY TO MIX IN AND GET FREE RIDES TO A SAFE AREA? OR ISREAL? OR AMERICA??
How many of the American Citizens are Voting Democrat? or had for KERRY in 04'? or NOW for " Pull out our Troops!" and " END The MILITARY" Democrat Candidates?? Mmmmm??
Think KERRY would take steps to Save them? or shuffle the deal off to FRANCE or someone else?
IF Kerry (who was a Vietnam War Hero if you didn't know)
was President ( Gasp!) ---the terrorists would have ALREADY Kidnapped ALL American or foreigners KNOWING Kerry and hi slibbie clan would fork over Millions in blackmail monies!!
Your post is REALLY insulting and indicates your ignorance of world affairs. I have met dozens of expats who are stuck here and have been working with international organizations including USAID to help Lebanon. This is NOT a partisan issue so please turn down your rhetoric. Our lives are at stake over here and you want only to score partisan points. Take it over to a Cindy Sheehan thread. Innocent people are losing their lives here. (Of course, so are a lot of Hizbollah terrorists.)
