"I'm out!!! Got out on the Orient Queen yesterday to Larnaca. Am now in Athens and will be in Chicago tonight. More then. Feel free to share this, as I don't have time to post yet. Got lots of pictures of the evacuation. And about half of the passengers WERE NOT U.S. Citizens!!! Lebanese nationals with Green cards and what all. My group were almost the ONLY people speaking English. It was sickening. MAKE THEM ALL PAY!!! They were treating it as a vacation cruise oblivious that their country is being destroyed. We were so mad we couldn't stand it. I'm still steaming . . . ."

Very glad for your reaching safety.

Athens and Greece in general has been sheltering refuges from Islamic terror for years.

WTH, no whining? I had my Kleenex box at the ready, wanting so to share the misery and hardship and bad food stories. What good is an evacuation if tales of treachorous treatment by George W. aren't included? With pictures of soup lines and dustbowl conditions. And protest posters saying: Kiss My Ungrateful A**, America, Just As Soon As You Get Me Home.

I am curious as to how many "Rachel Corrie's" are returning to the US.

As per the non-citizens getting free rides.

There's an old Borscht Belt joke that is apt:

Jackie Mason does this joke well, though others have used it to effect.


"SO, you know I like to travel, but I, I don't like paying full price for anything during peak season. And the crowds, why am I going to go somewhere when I'll be cramped in like sardines on a subway.
So, I found a solution folks.
You know when the best time to travel to Israel?
Terrorist season.
I get huge discounts. The staff are friendly and grateful for my presence, and I get the whole resort to myself."

I guess today we can add in a joke about a "reality tv" themed vacation too.

Glad to hear you are safe, hope to see your after action postings, and look on the bright side, you have lifetime employment with the IMF in Leb. once things settle down.

Oh, you haven't seen the half of it. There's another thread where lifelong enemies were made by those of us defending you against the most made-up lies I've ever seen about a freeper. It was breathtaking.

I am so sorry. I did not intend to sow discontent within our midst. But I did call it as I saw it from the front line. There is a clique that simply will not let go unchallenged anything that reflects negatively on Israel. I do want to read that threat! Or has it been pulled?
