Whiners: Find your own way out of Beirut

EDMONTON JOURNAL (Canada) ^ | Fri 21 Jul 2006 | Lorne Gunter

When the f#$k did it become a Federal Gov't requirement to have a contingency plan to evacuate every vacationer, expat, passport-holder-of-convenience, etc, from every country in the world and to staff each emabassy to execute those plans and to have immediate access to all necessary assets and resources to carry out such evacuations in active war zones or in areas hit by natural disasters?????
I even heard some of these ungrateful dickheads complain that there were only sandwiches to eat on the boat trip from Beruit to Cyprus..
I think I'm getting a headache and it's ready to explode..

[flynmudd]

Only one? That's pathetic isn't it?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

The Canadians apparently have their beautiful people too. And I suspect they learned a lot from their brethern from New Orleans after Katrina. Demand, demand, demand. Complain, complain, complain. It is refreshing to read an article telling these ungrateful twits to shut up.

[fanfan]

Speaking of which, had anyone heard an update from Rebel Yell?

[ExTexasRedhead]

They missed the 9/11 wake up call. Then again, some Americans are so brainless, they won't wake up until they're facing an Islamic wacko whose intent on killing them. If they're Liberals, then they figure they can whine, cry, appease, hand-wring and they will be spared. WRONG!

[BlessedByLiberty]

Thank you. I agree with you - but I don't think the public / taxpayers will tolerate this much longer.

[USNBandit]

Maybe he made it out. I'm sure once he makes it to Cyprus he can complain about not getting an outside stateroom on the ship.

[BlessedByLiberty]

I don't really think these people represent the consensus opinion. These people were no doubt preselected the minute they said anything anti-USA/Canada/Bush, otherwise no air time.

I just found this. He made it out, on the Orient Queen (the first boat). He is now complaining about the composition of his fellow passengers.

[dinasour]

Remind me to take my next vacation in sunny Canada.

Not sunny Beirut.

"Anyone who profanes a Canadian worker or whines about conditions on the free boat gets put back on board and returned to Lebanon where they can find their own way out."

That's the way to do it.

"Anyone that plans to bitch and whine and moan, get off my ship right now!!!" - The captain should announce.

What the hell are all these people from all these countries going there for vacation anyway?! There are better places on the Med to visit/party/get down/vacation for the summer.

Hi ETR-

It's because some people are so "openminded" that their brains have fallen out! Liberals are so darned concerned with possibly offending someone that the natural instincts of reasonable safety and caution go right out the window.

Does this make all of you as angry as it does me?

Yes.

Others still awaiting evacuation complain that our embassy in Beirut has not dealt with them fast enough.

Complaints from the maroon brigade who *feel* entitled to have the government doing everything for them. If only people threw more money at it, it would improve.

[Inspectorette]

After all, it had taken 15 hours instead of seven

She'd better never take a trip on Amtrak...

Posted yesterday:

I got out on the Orient Queen and am now in Athens en route home. More when I get back and get some sleep. And I have photos!

[BobS]

"He is now complaining about the composition of his fellow passengers."

I read that.

I hope he stole the toilet paper out of the women's room and stepped back and aside to watch the results:):) It could be a mood-changing event for him!

[ExTexasRedhead]

My recommendation for Liberals that are so "openminded" is that they get a good history book and start reading. Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Well, history is repeating itself right now and our lives, our country, and our freedoms are at stake. For the sake of my children, my grandchildren, and the generations to come, these airhead, brainless Liberals better get with the program or they're gone with the rest of us.

[Publius6961]

But just wait until they get to safe ports and find out they have several-day waits ahead of them until they can be airlifted - again at taxpayers' expense - to Canada.

May I ask why?
These morons were not placed there by the Canadian government at taxpayer expense. What's the connection here? Governments are obligated to respond instantly to idiots?

I ask these things not because I feel Canadians have a special case of whining clueless morons. We in the U.S. have plenty of our own.

I just haven't been able to find that thread...

[Fintan]

Wow, they're still pissed, huh??

[Wild Irish Rogue]

I cannot imagine sun bathing in a war zone and then whining because Mommy didn't rescue me fast enough.
I would be so embarrassed that I would wear a bag over my head and refuse to give the media my real name.
