what do you guys think is supposed to happen, do we MAGICALLY have ships appear in Lebanon? some of you are calling for more planes. Are you THICK there are no airports in Lebanon that can land the planes needed.
EVERYONE has to be taken to either cyprus or turkey by boat and then flown home, don't be so bloody stupid.
Do you really think that as soon as the idea of evacuations were raised (as in the first or second day of conflict) that they weren't working on a way of evacuating people.
I mean it is 330 KM just to get to Tarsus (evacuation point in turkey) and these aren't fast ships, I am pretty sure it takes 10 hours just to go that distance. It takes time to move these things, especially when it isn't like they were sitting dormant!! they were BEING USED BEFORE WE RENTED THEM!
You are just being pig-headed if you dont' think that our Gov. did everything it could to make evacuations as quick as possible. Any party would have done the exact same thing here as well.
There is not a partisan philosophical difference on how long people should have to wait to be evacuated.
On the other hand the NDP do believe people should have to wait forever to use the public health care system.
