"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 . . . ."

For pete's sake, RY2, can't you go anywhere without causing trouble? First you scare the socks off all those Yankees during the War of Northern Aggression and now you end up in the middle of another shooting war.

All kidding aside, welcome home! I am glad to see you are safely out of harm's way and look forward to seeing your pictures posted here on FR.

Chgogal, GREAT NEWS!!

fanfan, guess you didn't have to make RY2 a Canadian!!! However if he wants to visit Canada, he will need his passport in a couple of years. Detroit radio has been talking about that.

Also heard that the Windsor Casino has laid off 300 workers. Sure it's not the smoking ban!! /s

Great news... Here is my copy of my emails to those that counted to "try" get him out...

All of us at FreeRepublic are watching one of our fellow freepers (what we call ourselves on freerepublic.com) that is stuck in Lebanon... We are conservative leaning group (of about 100,000 people strong)...

We know that he probable wishes he didn't go there, but he did (job assignment for the US and UN, money related)... His code name is "Rebel_Yell2 ... He is scared and needing direction on what to do to get out... as a scared person, he is sorta posting is all kinds of directions ... but he has a good strong history of supporting the President (votes and finaciallly thru RNC)... He is not an "anchor" citizen (lots of those so called "Americans" there are just in name only, but he is a true American. He is not one of those American there that spouts 'anti-Americanisms' like some of those that heart is with the terrorist.. He is as apple pie American as it gets... if you can get him help.. please do so..

My name is
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You can see his posts to us (when power is up and running) from his motel... at this URL...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/user-posts?id=13948

Remember 100,000 fellow American are watching him...

Americans on the right side of the fense...

Thanks for the ping Springman!

I'm really glad RY2 got out.

He has pictures to show us when he gets back, after he gets some rest.

:-)
