this is really bad for those neighborhoods where the cits are maning barracades with bats and clubs -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 15, 14:01
Anybody hear from her? Hopefully she's evacuating? -- nm - pmb Jan 15, 13:41
Have we deployed troops yet? My friend who's in south Korea says tensions have eased some and his people are bored. - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:40 1
- why would we? it's a civil war. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:41

This is the tipping point that gets me to leave, if I haven't already. -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 13:23 14
- personally I would have left already. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:25 13
  - note the conditional "If I haven't already" - ty97 Jan 15, 13:26 12
    - yep, I did notice. at this point it's past time to go. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:27 11
      - if she hasn't Hotkiss needs to get to Airport or the Embassy -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 13:29 10
        
        Embassy was closed for the Holiday. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:31 9
        
        The embassy was *not* closed for the holiday. Embassies don't close for holidays when the host country is in the midst of a coup. - TWuG Jan 15, 13:35 1
        
        they have been there 24/7, more than likely. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:36
        
        no it wasn't. that's not the issue. The issue is they told her to stay put. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:32 6
        
        I thought she said it was. But yes on the stay put. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:34 5
        
        She said the *website* said they were. I'd imaging the staff has more pressing issues than keeping the website up to date. -- nm - TWuG Jan 15, 13:36 1
        
        And if you look at their website, it's just a static holiday calendar. Tehre is no "announcement" that they will be closed. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 15, 13:40
        
        gawker saw a webpage saying it was closed for the holiday. The government of TUnisia just fell. That embassy is not closed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:35 2
        
        So I didn't just pull that out of thin air. That's what I saw on yesterday's backboards. I didn't see the stuff about it being open. Okay? -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:37 1
        
        The last thing I saw relating to that was her trying to figure out how to get in touch with a friend of a friend marine who worked there. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:39
