"What about the Americans?!!!"

Screamed the Israeli/Lebanese victims as rockets and bombs exploded all around them...

NOT!

While interviewing a soon-to-be-evacuee about the situation, the reporter was so frustrated that the evacuee had little to say and thus created no news. You could feel the reporter trying to puuuuuuull the feelings out of the man as he asked “How do you feel? What do you think of the evacuation plan? Are you frustrated? You’re scared, right?” Basically, give me something!!! Complain!!!

And there were complaints from evacuees that were safely ashore after a 16-hour sea crossing. Happy they were out of the war zone? You wouldn’t know it from the press conference given by the evacuees. Yes. A press conference in which one of the patriarchs (isn’t there always a group spokesman?) complained about the length of the trip:

“It should have only taken 5 hours but instead took 16 and there were no conveniences! No services! We had to sleep on the floor like freight!"

Heaven forbid! I say, get your arse back to Lebanon then you SOB and see how lack of services and sleeping on the floor works out for you there.

Geez. Humans. It makes you want the big guy in the sky to smack ‘em down sometimes.
