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

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.


According to Brian Williams, there is no functioning government in
Haiti. I suppose they were pretty bad before and I imagine that was
not helped when a significant number of the bureaucrats are missing
since their building went down.

I suspect the rapid response may have something to do with the number
of Haitians in this country (close to a half million) and a lot are in
swing states.


That's completely ridiculous and racist. It's about people dying, while Rush
sits on his thumbs and proclaims it's an Obama ploy and don't give money to
help them.

Who GAS about Rush. He's an entertainer. Don't fret about it Plumie.
Racist? What a nutty thing to say.
