I'm sure we're all aware of what has been happening in Lebanon. I just saw on the News that Mr Downer was anouncing that the first BUS carried about 60 Australian has been sucessfully crossed into Syria border. Mr Downer also is TRYING to ogarnising a ship from Cyprus in capable to carry up to 500, 600 crossing the sea into Cyprus.
I thought wow, top efford until i saw on the News footage that US has land a Helicopter inside Lebanon to evacuate a handfull of its citizen and Britan WARSHIP has already set sail to pick up their citizen as well.
What's going on? The US landed a Helicopter in a WAR zone! There has to be some special pass/arrangment to fly a bloody Military Helicopter into war zone without getting shot? Britian sail its war ship straight into a war zone and we're struggling to evacuate our own citizen out of the danger zone on Bus.
Mr Downer also said that if we weren't in a close bond relationship with Israel government, it would have been harder! Yep, pretty tight i can see.
Also i find it funny when Isael has been dropping out flyers from their War plane to warn the Lebanese about their upcoming air strike and that civilian should move out of danger zone when they've already bombed all the major highway, railway, ports and their warship has been thumping its big gun while cruising up and down.
Anyway, if anyone on this forum that has their relative being stuck in Lebanon, the Government is urging them to register their love's one names to the Office of forein affair and trading in Canberra.
