Syria offers safe haven to US nationals fleeing Lebanon
BREITBART ^

The Syrian embassy said it was offering "safe haven" to Americans and other citizens wishing to flee Lebanon, where nearly 200 civilians have been killed during a massive Israeli military bombardment.
"Now, while thousands of United States citizens are stranded in Lebanon attempting to flee the ongoing massacre there, Syria has opened its borders to US citizens as well as citizens of other nationalities," the embassy said in a statement.
"In Syria, US and citizens of other nations find a safe haven from the barbaric and atrocious acts of the Israeli army in Lebanon," it said, adding that already a "huge influx of US and foreign nationals" have entered Syria.
Syria was waiving visa requirements for entry and offering "all sorts of humane assistance to the thousands of refugees coming from Lebanon including medical attention," it said.
"From Syria, US citizens can return safely home."
Yeah, right.
uh no thanks....
Translation:
Americans are WELCOME to be our hostages in the coming war with Israel!
Americans also left Beirut on the French chartered ferry to Cyprus
But first, we have a little vacation planned for you in Tehran! Enjoy!
LOL. FWIW, I wouldn't transit through Syria, either, but I doubt Ferret Face wants to have the US land on him for messing with our citizens.
This is the ultimate ruthless cynicism of a depraved terrorist regime: create the crisis by many years of support for terrorist Hezbollah, then pretend to shed crocodile tears for innocent civilians and offer them refuge..... then watch Syria create "human shields" of said American refugees (if any are foolish enough to head east from Lebanon).
Did you have a chance early this morning to see Bill Hemmer on FOX?
He was in Tiberius at the hotel that was hit.
I had to turn the TV off because a 10-year old thinks anything on the news is the truth. Of course, I did my part by explaining that Newt was full of it and trying to get people all scared so they would vote for him.
Honest to God, the man drives me nuts. AND, what's this junk about "we have to decide if we want to win?"
Color me FED UP. /rant>
I PRAY someone knows...and will post it...I have been SO out of the loop...
Babysitting today...no TV...very little time on FR!
If you find a post regarding that, will you please guide me there?
I would never consider this option, people would have to be nuts (or desperate). Better to stay in Lebanon and duck.
Thrill as he prepares...
Watch, as he hypnotizes Hezbollah by his modern movements and witty sayings.
