Saw a report tonight of a makeshift hospital, a couple hundred feet from the airport, sewing a couple of kids up without anesthetic or other medical supplies. Might be time for the Americans to go out and play soldier while someone else runs the airport. The Haitian people need all manner of medical supplies today...not next week. Full employment for the military? Might be. The French and Doctors Without Borders were also complaining about the big bottleneck and the slow pace of getting supplies out where they're needed. Who would run it? The Haitian Officials was apparently still running the airport in some capacity. There is only so much room to land and park. The Chinese held up landings, at one point, while they posed their aircraft and "Workers" for a photo op. There was a msnbc report, I think, that they had more food than they could distribute or store. The Medical needs seem to be huge. It takes time. I think our People are doing a great job. I do as well, but I also think the Israelies are also. They had their portable hospitals up and running almost immediately. -- Nom=de=Plume |
