Lebanon will be Americans-free by mid February 2007 (...)

AP reports that “120 Americans leave Lebanon by helicopter.” This means the U.S. will need approximately 209 days to evacuate all 25,000 Americans stranded in Lebanon. I did the calculation: 208 days is Mid-February of next year.

After reading the headline and writing the above, I read in the report, “By the end of the week, the evacuation will proceed at a pace of 1,000 Americans a day.” This gives us 20-plus days to see the Americans evacuated. In comparison to Katrina, the numbers are not bad, not bad at all.

We need some (corny…) humor in these troubled times…
