Plans to evacuate some of the 30,000 Filipino workers in Lebanon are proving complicated

With all the hundreds of thousands of foreigners in the tiny country, how many there are actual natives?

I saw that.

I'm going to write to jveritas; he's Lebanese although he lives in the US (I think) and has family in Lebanon. He does such great translation work of the Saddam docs and just loves America.

The young lady who called into Fox yesterday was in that section. She was not happy that they could not go to the beach anymore.

Bill Hemmer with Fox is now in Israel.

I heard her...but, I also just heard the intvu with the Priest from Notre Dame, that went to Lebanon to give some kind of speech..

According to HIM...he is a hostage..and he didn't seem to blame the Hezbollah or Lebanon....

So it goes...we will have the dems saying that our 25,000 are hostages because of the impotence of President Bush and his foreign policy.

These people are afraid..and I understand, but, from what I understand, Syria isn't letting Americans in...and they have taken 2 helicopters worth of Americans out of Beirut..but, it is too dangerous.

They could probably get the Israelis to give them a window to put ships out by Beirut...BUT, the won't stop the terrorists..

The MSM, ...when putting hysterical Americans..who cast blame HERE...are playing into the terrorist's hands..which is par for their course.

I just saw Rebel_yell2 on another thread about the State Department telling people to stay put.

Here's his post:

From what I've heard, it going to take several days for the military to put assets (such as the Iwo Jima battle group) into place. The advance team is setting up communications and scouting out safe staging points. I'm resigned to being here for several more days. The Brits also have a carrier group heading this way.

Eight Canadians killed in Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon, six injured


BEIRUT (CP) - Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay says eight Canadians have been killed in an Israeli air raid that hit a Lebanese town on the border with Israel.

MacKay says six other Canadians are in critical condition.

A report quotes Lebanese officials as saying the Canadians were killed at their home in the town of Aitaroun, which abuts the border.

The victims have not been not identified.

TV stations are reporting that the family had gone to Lebanon from Canada to spend the summer holidays in the town.

MacKay also says the government is getting commercial ships in place to evacuate people by sea.

It is very hard not to sympathize with "R" How can we get it to stop though when one side simply will not stop no matter how many concessions the other side has made.

Thanks for the post. Very interesting.

Anyone else hate that commercial? Ugh.

It's giving my wife a great opportunity to apply her Clinton-mute-button-reflex. She is now able to kill it before the second "Head On" ...

So how does he propose disarming Hezbullah?

Give them a strongly worded letter, of course. What else do the Euroweenies do about anything?

That was posted by Rebel_yell2 much earlier this morning before the news of the helicopter with the accessment team was reported.

Whatever. It's just too hard to take that site seriously. Between all the SCREAMING headlines and attempts to sell me something I'd rather just avoid the place.

IAF Chief Warns Hizbullah, ‘We’ve Used Only a Fraction of Capability’

21:30 Jul 16, '06 / 20 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Israel Air Force chief Major-General Eliezer Skedy told reporters on Sunday that Israel has used only a fraction of its capabilities in the Re-engagement War against Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon.

He warned the terror group not to make assumptions about Israeli’s fighting capabilities. “The decisions what to do and with which intensity [to fight] is reserved by the government,” he said, “and I suggest that the other side think about all the alternatives.”
