For an approximation, multiply km by .6. So it's about 120 miles.

15000 people have registered with the Embassy.

That's going to be quite a logistical undertaking.

Godspeed to them all.

Actually, he clarified further.

They believe 25000 Americans are in the country, 15000 have registered with the Embassy, but some have registered and indicated they will stay.

He didnt give the actual number that want to leave. Did explain that other countries that could evacuated "hundreds" of citizens could do so with one or two bus convoys, but State Department felt that multiple long convoys of Americans would not be safe for them.

multiply kms by .6,

200 km x .6 = approximately 120 miles.

Does anyone here have access to the US map where Hezbollah and Hamas have cells in this country and can post it on this thread?

I thought of that too; I'd rather be in Iraq than Lebanon right now.

LOL - one of my co-workers is Lebanese and said he's going to try to bring his wife and little girl here where they'll be safe. He's keeping a very good sense of humor about him during all of this and we're doing what we can to help him keep that up.

His family is OK - they've had to relocate twice but are in a pretty safe place right now.

I expect alot more of that. Iran claims to have 40,000 suicide bombers at their disposal. I doubt they have that many but I bet there's a bunch. Israel will capture the vast majority of them though...they're obviously not the brightest lights on the Christmas tree,
