"I'm out!!! Got out on the Orient Queen yesterday to Larnaca. Am now in Athens and will be in Chicago tonight. More then. Feel free to share this, as I don't have time to post yet. Got lots of pictures of the evacuation. And about half of the passengers WERE NOT U.S. Citizens!!! Lebanese nationals with Green cards and what all. My group were almost the ONLY people speaking English. It was sickening. MAKE THEM ALL PAY!!! They were treating it as a vacation cruise oblivious that their country is being destroyed. We were so mad we couldn't stand it. I'm still steaming . . . ."

Whoa! This is great news! I can't wait to hear more from RY2. His insight into the nationality of the evacuees is sobering.

Lordy, we can't even evacuate our own citizens without screwing up. I'm tired of worrying what the Arab nations think about us. I give a crap.

It's interesting that our fellow FReeper is all exercised by "illegitimate" Israeli retaliation while actual Lebanese don't really seem to care.
Anyway, thank God he's safe.

WTH, no whining? I had my Kleenex box at the ready, wanting so to share the misery and hardship and bad food stories. What good is an evacuation if tales of treachorous treatment by George W. aren't included? With pictures of soup lines and dustbowl conditions. And protest posters saying:
Kiss My Ungrateful A**, America, Just As Soon As You Get Me HomeCongrats, rebel_yell2. And prayers for a safe journey back to this great land! SVITW
