I'm hearing different things re moving Americans out of Lebanon, and that is good.

We should not be informed until and when they are safely out ... which could be already, for all we know.

Does this mean that the US won't be trying to rescue people?

I think it would be a disaster to have all the Americans gather at one place to evacuate..

I'd make my way to the embassy right now, however on an individual basis and hunker down. Cause the truck bombs, mortars and rockets are coming.

Maybe I can hitch a ride from the French.

A story by Reuters states:

France has hired a Greek cruise ship which can carry between 1,000 and 2,000 passengers to help evacuate its citizens from Lebanon via Cyprus. French authorities have also hired another ferry together with Norway which can take up to 650 people.

"It is a French initiative for the transportation of all European citizens," said Sotos Zakhaeos, the director-general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"It will set off, likely late today from Cyprus and start picking people up tomorrow. This is a European initiative, and the security guarantees have been given," he told Reuters.

Perhaps a dumb question...but if you felt your life was in danger (shelling, crazy Moslems, etc), could you seek refuge in the embassy?

American Embassy in Beirut, 1983. American Embassy in Teheran, 1979.
