US delaying needed supplies?
We keep hearing complaints that the US military is hogging the main airport
with its' one runway for their own purposes (flying in soldiers) rather than letting all the relief planes arrive. 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? |

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 |

Since I might spend 10 hrs a year boating, why in the world would I want to discuss any boating topic? |
