When you have to flee

[Gonz]

ask the French to help

By ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press Writer

MONROVIA, Liberia - French military helicopters evacuated Americans and other foreigners from the besieged capital of Liberia at dawn Monday, ferrying them out of embassy compounds to a ship in the Atlantic.

The evacuations to the French navy ship came as Liberian soldiers reported more fighting on the western edge of the city, and explosions sounded in the distance.

you'd have thought a thank you would have been in order, some people just aren't grateful i suppose

 

[Squiggy]

Its called the right wing twist...poli-sci at its best...

 

[Shadowfax]

still don't see what the hell is funny about it

 

[PT]

Well, I find it mildy amusing, in a twisted way of course.

I fail to see the humour in people getting shot unless it's me with a custard pie gun...

... anyway, it sounds to me like the guy needs ousting...

 

[Shadowfax]

the word 'ironic' comes in mind...

 

[outside looking in]

It's the same kind of humor you'd see on Bill Mahr, Conan's, etc. It may not be to the liking of all, but it's not uncommon.

No comment on whether I found it funny or not.

perhaps those hollanders can help out as well, while heading towards the desert, which they are supposed to protect
