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. You can try to shame herring into a donation to mostly people of color... He can afford it. |

Plus there's no pesky federal law concerning state's rights to be obeyed by the feds in this case. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
