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.

"Not really. The Lebanese army doesn't operate any fixed wing aircraft. They don't need runways for helicopters."

I think the Israelis are trying to keep Syrian and Iranian assistance from arriving in Lebanon, whether in the form of terrorists or armaments, that's why they are isolating Lebanon from the rest of the world.

If you need a good song to sing or hum, to keep your mind occupied, try this one:

We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
Chorus:
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.

I've got my camera batteries fully charged. It will shoot about half an hour of MPEG-4 video. All I need now is for the helos to arrive.

More bombs going off. The hotel shakes as each one goes off, even though the targets are several miles away.
Haaretz.com is posting an AP headline that the French are organizing a ferry to evacuate French citizens. This is EXACTLY what the U.S. State Dept needs to do.
