How horrible... perhaps those of you on the east coast/south can organize
some sort of flotilla and help these poor people?


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

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

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

We are sending a hospital ship and the carrier Carl Vincent with a
bunch of helicopters.
I think they also should send a cruise ship or two to evacuate all the
foreigners. The airport is still basically down although they are
still taking some flights.


I was thinking that they should send a cruise ship also, but not for
evacuation necessarily nor at first. I believe cruise ships volunteered
during Katrina... if I'm remembering that right.

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


It's got a history of getting ugly there... perhaps a breeding ground for
terrorists, so all the help we can give them would surely pay off.

Yes, D'Plume, They did 'volunteer' at the rate of $236 M. (USD)

Actually these Haitians are more resourceful than the people in NOLA.


And they are getting aid quicker to Haiti than they did in NOLA

The leaders of Haiti are smarter than the leaders of NOLA were. Plus
there's no pesky federal law concerning state's rights to be obeyed by
the feds in this case.

You're a rich guy, jackoff. Have you made a substantial contribution to
help in the relief effort, I mean aside from the shovelfuls of
right-wing bull**** you've slung here?

I didn't think so.

Is this another of your sock-puppet handles? Good lord man, how many
do you need?

Pick one name and type it into the setup on all news readers on all
the computers you use, or STFU about other people and their handles.
Got it?
