The MSM is playing to America's insular Mommy culture.

Any foreign correspondent knows right damned well that U.S. Embassies abroad are not there to babysit individual American citizens. Heck, if they can process a passport replacement for you, it's your lucky day.

So this carping about "the slow evac" is completely cynical and, but the way, a known lie.

Today is Day 7 of the conflict. If the ships make it to Beirut today, I'll consider that warp speed by the U.S. government.

By the way, MSM yo-yos: the U.S. Dept Of State doesn't run its own fleet of helicopters and passenger ferries. It must get those from somewhere and someone else.
