The Syrian embassy said it was offering "safe haven" to Americans and other citizens wishing to flee Lebanon, where nearly 200 civilians have been killed during a massive Israeli military bombardment.
"Now, while thousands of United States citizens are stranded in Lebanon attempting to flee the ongoing massacre there, Syria has opened its borders to US citizens as well as citizens of other nationalities," the embassy said in a statement.
"In Syria, US and citizens of other nations find a safe haven from the barbaric and atrocious acts of the Israeli army in Lebanon," it said, adding that already a "huge influx of US and foreign nationals" have entered Syria.
Syria was waiving visa requirements for entry and offering "all sorts of humane assistance to the thousands of refugees coming from Lebanon including medical attention," it said.
"From Syria, US citizens can return safely home."
US military helicopters flew 43 people out of Lebanon Monday and preparations were underway to evacuate potentially thousands of US nationals by air and by sea, officials said.
Other foreign capitals also rushed to evacuate frightened nationals from the escalating conflict, as Israel indicated it may provide windows in its six-day-old aerial bombardment to facilitate safe passage.
This morning I watched the "Today show" coverage of the Mid East bombings. All the time that Matt Lauer was describing what Isreal was doing to Lebanon, the pictures in the background were of all the civilian places that the HIZB had bombed in Isreal. Then when he switched to what places the HIZB had hit in Isreal, they switched to pictures of a couple holes in the cement. It made me sick.
We did nothing when the Iranians had our hostages.The Libs would scream bloody murder if anything happened to them.
Times have changed though. If Syria took hostages they would be attacked. I have no doubt about that and neither do they.
I agree with you Jack. Syria does not want to take on the U.S. "yet." They would be starting a world war without nukes in their arsenal. They aren't that stupid.
Not just "No", but HELL, NO!!!!!!!!!!!
> You would have to be an idiot to go to Syria
I'm not sure it was such a bright idea to summer in Lebanon, either.
That was PRECISELY my thought when I read the headline.
Sure hope your right.They have Saddams stuff,but if they used it,I am quite sure they will be sent to hell where they belong.
You are right except for one thing. Syria will never go after the USA. The only one big enough (and stupid enough) is Iran.
these folks are freaks.
Syria offers safe haven to US nationals fleeing Lebanon

Trying to recruit some more civilian "human shields" to prevent Israel from attacking the real enemy. Any US national that flees the frying pan of Lebanon for the fire of Syria deserves some bombs dropped on his head.
Being neither an idiot or a Dimocrat, I declined their offer.
Agreed.
"Jimmy, ever seen a grown man naked?"
Jimmy: "No, but I saw you *ss in your underwear on the internet, you perv."
ROFL!
I don't think that the "refugees" can get there.
Sounds like a good way to infiltrate that terroist regime and find the WMD stored there.
