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

FOX - short of sending in troops, it's too terrifying to try to evacuate Americans. Especially in Beirut.

That's right; if it's a lousy site and we can't have a positive impact, I'll opt out. We'll see what happens in October.

Been out of the loop for a couple of hours...hearing now that The US State Dept says it's too dangerous to leave Beruit.

WTH is going on here?

Well, it seems everyone here was right. Fox now saying State Dept is saying too dangerous to GET Americans out.

I don't know. I will say this: I'll bet we'll still rescue people but there's no sense letting the media report when and where our Marines are -- that's a sure way to tragedy.

How do you evacuate 25,000 people from a war zone?

You don't.

Fortunately there are not 25,000 Americans who need to evacuate, as many of that number are also Lebanese who hold dual passports.

I believe that I heard this morning that the accessment team did evacuate some American citizens that were ill and it was imperative that they be evacuated.

However it was reported that the accessment team was there to access the best possible way to evacuate those American citizens who wanted to be evacuated. It is not a mandatory evacuation.

Wasn't someone calling on her to do that this morning?

Yup, Mad Maddie and Chris Wallace.

This is a different war than 2003. The IDF needs secrecy as part of their tactics.

People are told to keep in contact with the State Department; maybe there's a code or something.

Because I wouldn't put it past the NYT to put on their web site that our Marines will be landing on the roof of such and such a hotel at a certain time.

FOX - Father Biondi (?), an American priest in a Beirut hotel says he's a "hostage" because they are being told not to wander around in the streets. At the risk of lightening, he's an idiot if he can't figure out on his own not to play outside right now.
