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.

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

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