"I am so mad I could spit."
I'm with you on that! I could spit just watching the news and I'm not in the middle of the war zone!
Everyone stuck in Beriut who's been interviewed on the news has said the exact same thing. They are unable to get through on the contact numbers given. Oh but, big deal being made by embassy reps about the 20 people they did rescue, and nothing but repetitive reporting about how they are still trying to figure out how to get you all out. Meantime, the situation gets worse. I find it difficult to believe that earlier on there was no coordination between Israel and U.S. on this matter so that it should have been done days ago. Both to blame, imo. I certainly hope that there doesn't come a point in the escalation, that they can't or that Americans stuck become target? Because already there was a warning during our night last night for Americans NOT to go north to Syria, as they are planning massive Anti-American rallies for, I believe, today. Not surprising, it was only a matter of time before the world decides it's America's fault.
I will contact my congressmen this morning and hopefully it won't be much longer, a day or two at most. Fill the tub just in case and stay safe!
