This is a first-person report of the ambush that started with the kidnapping of two soldiers. This is one that escaped to tell about it.

"The State Department said they didnt keep track of dual citizenship, and also said that not all 8000 want to go to the US."

So the State Department doesn't know if these folks are US citizens? .. wonderful /sarcasm ON

Iran-Ahmadinejad
A letter from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel was handed over to a German Embassy official here on Wednesday.

A report released by the Foreign Ministry Media Department said that in the absence of the German ambassador to Tehran, the letter was submitted to the German charge d'affaires in his meeting with Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

What's this about? They don't target it unless it has to to with Hezbollah. Where did this demand come from?

I know what you mean, I was worried today seeing all the little children evacuating.

But the Marines will be helping now, so it should be OK.

So the State Department doesn't know if these folks are US citizens?

No one is getting on any U.S.-chartered ship without a U.S. passport... Except this little one. From the AP:

The departure was delayed slightly because one passenger, 11-day-old infant Rawan Ali Mannoun, didn't have a passport. Her parents pleaded with embassy officials to allow them on the ship and in the end, a pass was issued for the infant. As her parents ran toward the waiting ship carrying Rawan those on the deck applauded.

The fighting has killed at least 299 people in Lebanon and 29 in Israel

Thanks for the summary. I have to vent a little after I have been driving all day, listening to various talk shows and the MSM. It has about driven me nuts. No one wants to really talk about the reason for the disparity in these casualty numbers. It is quite simple, Israel and its people build bomb shelters for their citizens -- Lebanon and Hezballah use their citizens as human shields so their deaths will mold world opinion. This shows a vast difference in religion, culture and basic morality. The folk that talk in the media are too PC to bring this obvious fact up. Then, to top it all off, Michael Savage today even went to the extreme of accusing the Israeli government and the Bush Administration of wanting to prod Iran into a nuclear attack on Israel so that the hundreds of thousand of dead would justify a retaliatory strike on Iran. As absurd as this sounds to me, there are many willing to entertain the idea. As one poster is want to say, just damn.

Y'all help me with this. Quote from the story above:

" ... [USS Nashville] anchored off the coast of Lebanon Thursday morning prepared to receive some 1,200 Americans fleeing fighting to take them to Cyprus.

The amphibious assault ship prepares for its voyage ..."

Is this amphibian going to be allowed to dock? If it stays anchored off the coast, how are the evacuees going to get on it? I've heard that American ships are not being allowed to dock by the Lebanese government.

I know there is a smaller "landing craft" that the Marines came ashore in - will the evacuees be tendered out to the USS Nashville on one of those? How many does it hold? Will it have to go back and forth?

Just trying to understand the logistics, because you *know* people are gonna be ranting about this, since they have about everything else.
