Assistant Secretary of State Janice Jacobs told reporters Sunday that she expects it will take several flights over the coming days to handle the number of Americans who want to leave Egypt.

Jacobs acknowledged that Internet interruptions in Egypt are making it difficult for Americans there to get information about the evacuations. But she said they have been able to get information from people in the United States who do have access to State Department and embassy websites.

Last time it was by ship. What was that Lebanon?

And all the other westerners got all crap headed about how the Americans got out first.

I would put then on a ship with bad food just for being in Egypt in the first place.

Obama’s is ‘rescuing’ Americans from the same mobs he’s been ‘secretly’ supporting?
