Israel had a fully functioning field hospital with OR ,ICU, NICU, etc on the ground almost immediately.
Napolitano said the equivalent HHS hospital would arrive at 7pm Saturday.

Especially since Sep 11, 2001, I have become of the opinion of being more and more pro-Israeli. Even though I have no desire whatsoever of visiting the Middle East, Israel is the exception.

Interestingly the Cubans also have a functioning surgical hospital there — it functions because the Cubans are smart, and used to working in Haiti-level conditions. That’s the norm under the Castro Marxism economics.

Gee for all the BILLIONS of OIL Revenue that those oil states made over the last decade I dont hear of one penny of AID coming from any of them.

Oh I forgot, the EVIL USA MUST BE THE 911, MEALS ON WHEELS AND 24 X 7 DOCTOR FOR ALL THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS & ILLS. Forget that we have our own problems (massive unemployment/underemployment, foreclosures, banking crisis etc) we still cowboy up and help anyone in times of need - unlike MOST of the world wealthy ingrates.
