I believe one of the US ships is going to leave for Haiti shortly.

I think they also should send a cruise ship or two to evacuate all the

still taking some flights.

Ground transportation is also a problem. Today they were saying the
airport was full of stuff coming off planes but they had no way to get
it into town.

They are sending a bunch of military people there to try to maintain
some similance of order. I hope that doesn't get ugly. That always
scares me. This could degrade to another Baghdad real fast

The looting may be a problem, but Haiti is not a Muslim country, so it
shouldn't turn into another Baghdad.

I would like to have seen a bunch of C-17s with bucket loaders and
dump trucks aboard. It looks like that's what's needed right now,
along with water and food of course.

More Brian Williams and Anderson Coopers are not the solution, that's
for damn sure. I'm sure Geraldo Rivera and Amanpour are right behind.
Wonder when Olberman will show up.

Well, we know you're certainly not going to show up... doubtful you'll make
a financial contribution either. I'm sure you have limited means, but even a
dollar or three would help.

You can try to shame herring into a donation to mostly people of color...

He can afford it.

If you'll recall, sweetheart, I put up the Red Cross link when you
were asking if our country would do anything.

They need more help than a few yachts pulling into their harbor.

This would help, if there is one in the area...

Well, the Military has the Care (hospital ship) standing by but is
sending a flat top carrier for now according to the guy I saw talking
yesterday. He said the flat top could do everything the Care could do
for now. He did note that if needed the Care could be sent in too...

MSNBC is saying it might even be 5 times that (~500k).

Disasters in 3d world countries are always bad because they don't have
building codes or the resources to respond to disasters like this.
The building code issue should be a wake up call for the US too. We
have lots of fault lines in the US that are NOT in California. Most of
the US lives with a building code that assumes all loads are going to
be straight down. From a Florida perspective, it is why I am not
shocked when a little dust devil (they call a tornado) goes through
the Mid Atlantic states and rips their houses up. An earthquake that
would not even make a Californian look out the window, would destroy a
large number of buildings in Memphis and St Louis (The New Madrid
zone)

The problem is that Haiti doesn't have the infrastructure to do anything
to help the people who are still alive but needing assistance. More
people will die in the days after the event. And, as we have seen in the
past with Haiti the Haitians cannot be trusted to fairly distribute the
aide they receive.

Geez, herring, can you stuff that bad manners sock in your mouth on any
subject, and not show your true insulting self here on humanitarian
subjects?

You and jackoff...a pair of jackoffs.
