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.

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.

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


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.

Yeah, their building code laws/enforcement are top-notch.

Oh, yes, you can tell by their stringent building codes, their
excellent work in getting their economy back on track, their work on
keeping crime in check and their work in erradicating AIDS.

That's mainly driven by lack of money, which of course has nothing to
do their intelligence or the speed of getting aid from the US in this
disaster. Of course, you knew that.

The US offered, and the Haiti leaders immediately accepted. The NOLA
leaders did not, and failed to follow the guidelines that would
*allow* the feds to even come into the state quickly. With all the
money, technology, communications, and modern transportation
advantages that that the NOLA leaders enjoyed, the fact that they
screwed it up so bad is criminal. Nagin and Blanco belong in federal
prison.

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?

Sorry harold, I've never stated or implied that I'm rich. Unlike some
others, I feel no need to attempt to impress people on usenet with
fabulous stories of wealth or adventure. I'm just a guy with a boat.
