U.S. Rescue Bogs Down in Lebanon

BEIRUT — Thousands of Americans whose vacations and business trips to Lebanon have degenerated with sickening speed into stints in a battle zone remained stranded here under Israeli bombardment Monday, their frustration and anger mounting because the U.S. government hasn't gotten them out faster.

Waiting around Beirut with bags packed and fingers crossed, U.S. citizens derided the embassy for busy phone lines, a lack of information and gnawing uncertainty over when and whether they will get out. Hundreds were expected to be shipped to Cyprus today, but how long the full evacuation will take remains uncertain.

#2. That freeper had every right to be frustrated with me. He/she said that freepers had family members involved with the extraction and it was upsetting to read Rebel's words. When I asked for a link and who was involved in the extraction (so I could thank them) none was given.

#3. That same freeper said I'd damned him/her to hell. When I asked for a link to that, he/she couldn't provide one. In other words, that freeper lied.

Peach, this is your post to me, in post number 1146. Please note I reposted it in post number 1353 so you would not have to go back pages to find it.

Please note in #2 of your post you said directly to me that the reason banned poster was frustrated with you was because of the post about freepers having family involved in the rescue. You also pointed out she could not give you a link that referenced what she was talking about. BTW I posted that link for you also in post number 1353, she may have been banned before she could find the link for you.

Please note in #3 of your post you said when she could not provide the link to the other issue "in other words she was lying." I took this to mean if someone can't provide a link to you when you ask for it, you take it that they are lying.

That is why I came to the conclusion that you said she was lying about the statement about freepers sending their sons and daughters to rescue US citizens in Lebanon. I was using your own explanation in post #3 of how you knew the banned poster was lying about the other issue.

Which part of asked and answered don't you get? That has been done for you more times than I can count.

And I'm still waiting for you to back up your false charge that I didn't read the thread and was only answering pings.

For someone who wasn't reading the thread and only was answering pings, I sure had comments to a lot of freepers who didn't ping me.

You're wasting my time. You keep making charges you can't back up. You've said a few times now that I harped at the suspended freeper for not answering my question about extraction efforts. You can't back that charge up either, since I never re-asked her that question.

You talk about wasting time? I have spent a large amount of time answering tons of your questions. I spent all that time pulling up posts and reposting them and giving you links and quotes because if one does not provide proof to you; then you accuse them of lying. I will not answer any more of your questions until you answer the last two I asked you.

You have not answered those questions, if you have provide the name, post number and direct quotes. Please note, I am not asking you about all the accusations of lying you posted to and about the banned poster. These two questions have nothing to do with the banned poster.

These two questions are all about you stating over and over that freepers on this thread were lying about rebel, you have even stated that on at least one other thread. Again I ask you-

#1 Which freepers on this thread lied to or about rebel?

#2 Provide proof of their lies to or about rebel.

I think these are very important questions, this is THE issue that caused almost all of the heated discussion on this thread, and is still causing hard feelings on other threads.

I have other stuff to do today, but I will be back on late this evening or tomorrow, so you will have time to provide the answers to these two questions and the proof to back it up.

You clearly don't know how this works. You have made accuasation after accusation that you can't back up. So you move onto another topic. You make charges; it's up to YOU to back them up, not to move onto another topic when you're embarrassed and can't back them up.

Yes, you spent all that time pulling up posts I made up thread and then didn't have the good grace to admit that all that work proved that I didn't do what you accused me of doing. ROFL

And if you haven't noted the freeper who said that Rebel supported Hezbollah and another freeper who said that he objected to paying his own way, charges which are provably false, then nothing I can say will help you.

Good bye.

. So you move onto another topic

This is not a new topic Peach, I have asked you this several times on this thread. I have never seen where you answered it. If you think you have, please post a link. I have asked you before to name who on this thread was lying to or about rebel. You have not named the freepers you say have done this or posted the quotes. I asked you several times to post where I lied to or about rebel, or say right out on this thread that I did not lie to or about rebel. You never did that either. You say you have answered this, but you have not shown me where you have answered it. You have posted many posts about all the freepers lying about rebel on this thread, now you need to back it up.

I don't see how you could possibly say this is a new topic, this has been your main topic on this thread and at least one more that I know about.

You make charges; it's up to YOU to back them up

This is how I understand that it works too, Peach. I have pulled up posts and quotes and links to show what I have said. I have spent hours doing it. As I said before I will not answer any more of your questions until you answer mine. As soon as you answer this, then we can move to more questions if you wish.

And if you haven't noted the freeper who said that Rebel supported Hezbollah and another freeper who said that he objected to paying his own way, charges which are provably false, then nothing I can say will help you.

Who is this freeper that said rebel supported Hezbollah? Where is the freeper's actual quote that shows that statement was made about rebel? Who is the freeper who said rebel objected to paying his own way out of Lebanon? Where is the freeper's actual quote that shows that statement was made about rebel?

You scattered a lot of accusations on this thread, and at least one other thread that a lot of freepers were lying about rebel on this thread. If you don't point out who it was and quote what they actually said in context; then you haven't backed up what you have been saying about the freepers on this thread.

I will check be back on FR in the morning sometime and see if you have answered this.
