What do these stupid people not understand about "You were in a terrorist-infested third world country"?!
How long has there been a general warning by the State Dept. against travel to southern Lebanon?
Heh, heh. I wish there was a record of what the clerk said after he (or she) hung up.
The faces of the Ugly Americans. The priest whining because he couldn't wander willy nilly out in the street. The spoilt college brat wanting 5 star room service instead of US Marine handing her a chicken sandwich. And now Kathleen who too stupid to turn on the tv and get away from window glass and complains the bus driver won't make potty stops.
She is luicky that she was with people who knew what to do.
She saw a bomb go off and after hearing of Israel bombing Southern Lebanese cities the night before, she still didn't know it was a bomb going off behind an apartment building? And she called the front desk for verification. She should be embarassed to admit it.
She stood in front of a glass door, backlit amd was screamed at.I'd say her hosts were glad that she left.
Welcome home liberal weenie, and be glad you are in the land of the free where people like you can count on others to look after you. You were a very lucky lady to have such friends in Beirut, who like most pubbies, know how to look after themselves. In Beirut many Americans are learning to look after themselves, if they do not already know.
You clearly do not.
Next time think twice before going to a hotbed of terrorist activity.....
Has she said that it was George Bush's fault that she was there? If she hasn't yet, she will figure a way to fit that into an interview with the NYT.
Hey, Liberals, vacation in Hawaii next time.
But they allowed Hezbollah to operate within country without trying to curb them!
Funny bit tonight on Glenn Beck's TV program. He and another guy were discussing the US footing the bill for the evacuation and then having the evacuees whine about it.
What's next, a fashion show in Somalia for a neighbors cat?
Dammit.
The world could literally go up in flames, but if one "Jersey Girl" was inconvenienced, congressional investigations would ensue.
Somehow? Actually paid big $$$ to get someone to drive that tour bus to get their guest out of there.
"I still haven't received any word from the embassy."
Why should she. She didn't stay at the hotel, probably didn't advise the embassee of her bus trip, probably didn't advise the embassee that she arrived back in the states.
If Americans ignore State Dept. warnings on travel they have only themselves to blame for their circumstances.
That's the risk you take when you go to a country under the control of a terrorist organization.
What the hell is wrong with countries like Syria that they can't or will not construct paved roads!! Haven't they heard of asphalt or concrete? And it's just too bad the lady got caught in the middle of a war zone. Is a party worth risking your freedom or life? As far as I'm concerned travel to Lebanon ought to banned. I consider it an enemy nation as long as Hezbollah is there.
Meanwhile, days after calling the U.S. officials in Beirut for help, and now safely home, "I still haven't received any word from the embassy."
Why would she expect to? She's home now. They have other people to worry about.
Idiot! But she's from Rhode Island, so what can we expect?
We should have left them to fend for themselves. (Well, maybe not...)
