With no runways available, I've been wondering how in the heck you could evacuate 25,000 people.
2,500 Chinooks?
I understood they hoped to bring in choppers to evacuate them to Cyprus, but basically would need a cease-fire to do so... think about this point, too... 25,000 American's all in one place would be like red meat to Hezbollah and then definitely pull the US into the war.
