From Tourists Streaming into Syria from Lebanon, post 47:
To: cinives
You all might find this damn funny, but my sorry ass is marooned in Beirut, where I have been working for the IMF. If anybody has any helpful suggestions on how I can get out of this war zone, I would be most grateful. Right now, the road to Syria is the only way out of Lebanon for anyone, including U.S. citizens, and the Israelis are bombing that road. I am NOT happy with the Israelis right now. I understand their concerns about their kidnapped soldiers but bombing the Beirut Airport was not going to help them in any way.

So long as it's YOUR soap scum.
Someone else was caught there, too - but is safe for now:

What about the IAF? Nothing moves in Lebanon without the Israeli's implicit permission. Heck, they BUZZED Assad's Syrian summer palace last week! Do you really think Hezbollah could march the captured Israeli soldiers through the Beirut airport and onto a Syrian plane to Iran?

Go figure, I always looked at water as something to wash with and beer, wine and booze for quenching your thirst.
My flawed philosophy has always been "Make sure we got enough gin, we'll worry about water later....."
Believe me Rebel_yell2 we Freepers are praying for your safety. Take Care and if you can keep us updated on what you are doing.
The more concrete between you and the outside walls, the better.
Valium for sleeping (these events tend to elicit a nonstop adrenaline rush).
No offense taken, and I'm CERTAIN you are correct!
(((((Ping for More Prayers)))))
Stay safe. Will say prayers for you.
Get to the embassy, go out on the next supply chopper?
Your advice is priceless. Thanks for posting on this thread.
Thats why it pays to have a nice housewife who washes all the hair and junk out on a daily basis. hehehe
kidding
DONE!
Thanks for the PING!
Be careful and God Bless.
I heard earlier that the Lebanese ports were under blockade by the Isreali navy, so that may not be an option.
The airport tarmacs and fuel tanks were hit to prevent Syria from resupplying HEzbollah. It's that simple.
Oh, no. Many prayers for our freepers friends who are trapped.
Stay safe, keep your head down and pray. You will be fine, just wound a little tight for the next few days. Contact the embassy for evacuation plans and don't be out if you don't have to.
May you never be more than a breath away from God's saving arm around your shoulders and may his angels keep you from harm. In Jesus name.
