This event is no different from any other in the joker adm. Its all political.

Of course you're correct, but I can still hope that this crisis blows up in his incompetent administration's face, and shows the farce that it is.

When did it become our job? Somewhere around WWII. It comes with being leader of the free world.

I, nor the rest of the taxpaying Americans, were consulted about this. We need to help in times of need, maybe, but I'm tired of paying for AIDS in Africa, poverty in Haiti, governments and nation building in Iraq and Bosnia, etc. Enough is enough! No longer should the American taxpayer pay for bad decisions made by the populations of nations that just won't get it together and revolt. Let's help with revolt and stop with the world's welfare!

Thanks for the info.

This situation makes the ‘Global Warming’ agenda all the more absurd. The time, money, and energy devoted to the AGW scheme would have been better spent planning for the real disasters such as the one that’s impacting Haiti.

These disasters occur with some regularity, but we’re often left with the impression the emergency response facilities are non-existent, or underdeveloped.

I don’t mean to be critical of the efforts being made to help the Haitians.

Few have better work ethics than Haitians.

I spent five years there and have the utmost of respect for many of the people.

I found this article and it pretty much supported what you state. I’m fairly ignorant to all of this but figured I would post the article for all that want, to read.

I read this on this thread:
“But, these people, have been living off of the American/UN tit for so long”

I just wanted to say, the UN has no teat to suckle as all they do is suck from others. The UN is a farce and should be dissolved!

Than came the end of security in 84, and ever since much of Haiti has descended into a no man's land.

Reagan was president in 84
What was his policy ?

>> Enough is enough!

I view the assistance provided in natural disasters is significantly different than supporting, or not supporting, the product of foreign governance and policy.

” This is all totally uncalled for,get planes,choppers and start dropping supplies, now how hard and how safe is that? ‘

Anderson Cooper and another reporter addressed the air drop dilemma last night.
When supplies are randomly provided-without armed supervision-
the young toughs ( who could be digging and helping rescue the trapped )
push away the women, children and the old.
And take everything.
Cooper saw that first hand yesterday when someone was distributing food.

Hundreds who walked and are waiting with their gas cans. Owner of the station in Haiti refuse to give out gas or turn pumps on because he say: “gas today 12 dollars, tomorrow it may be 24!”

Absolutely! You know full well these things are going to happen, several times a year in a bad year. And it's always the same. Everyone is caught flat-footed, pants down, etc. And, as expensive as it would be to maintain some sort of strike force to move into an area to secure it, determine what's needed and get the area set to receive help it's got be less expensive than the way it's done now.

I'm with you, I don't want to cast dispersions on anyone who is working their butt off to help these unfortunate people in Haiti. But I'll bet their efforts could be improved 100 percent with some common sense preparations. Of course every situation is different, but all of the have a lot in common too.

My prayers certainly go out to the people of Haiti, and to those who are going to be helping.

so let the UN distribute with the world and take charge.

the place was a cesspit of crime and not updated infrastructure even though we gave them billions over the last few years(where’s the money

how exactly do you propose to keep getting aid there when the airport is all backed up?

you want obama to go down but exactly what is he going to do once down there?

are you for bringing 200,000 of them here like obama wants?
