No diplomatic settlement is possible with Amadhinejad in
office.

One he's removed maybe there will be something to talk about.

They probably realize that 100s of RPGs and rockets will be aimed at them if they try to fly them out. I've been concerned that Americans might be kidnapped and held inside Lebanon by the filthy hezbullies.

I don't know but it sounds like Capts. Kirk and Picard are going to be involved.

Excellent news! Now there isn't a reason to send Bubba.

When I signed up and filled out that little questionnaire, the web site owners asked what issues we were interested in.

I put Other and typed in Geopolitics and terrorism.

(Amazing that terrorism wasn't an option!)

I think Democrats and young people leaning left would benefit learning more about world politics in general and terrorism specifically.

With no runways available, I've been wondering how in the heck you could evacuate 25,000 people.

2,500 Chinooks?

I read an article here the other night that the Ayatollahs are not happy with much he is and has been doing... I admit I fantasized that maybe they would do what would have happened a thousand years ago in Persia and have him assassinated.

I'm understanding it to mean it's too dangerous for Americans to try to leave Lebanon on their own, like trying to get into Syria, for example.

Unless you mean you heard that they are cancelling efforts to evacuate them?

Wouldn't be surprised...wouldn't be surprised if it accomplished nothing solid, either.
