Government to Pay for Evacuations in Lebanon

[The Bastard1]

We reported this story to you on Monday and it looks like the State department has bowed to congressional criticism and abandoned on Tuesday its plan to bill U.S. citizens for evacuation from war-torn Lebanon.

Pretty amazing what blogs can do, huh? And then they take all the credit.

1. As conservatives would say its our money (and I agree)

so the taxpayers being evacuated have already paid for the trip.

2. They paid for it

That's the true definition of an ownership society. A society that owns the government.

3. Why aren't they being evacuated to "The Green Zone" in Iraq?

They say it's a wonderful paradise with a satellite dish on every roof, and a cellular phone in every pocket.

4. Well, they might as well. After all, they paid for Israels airplanes

and bombs.
