The USAF has sent aid to Port-au-Prince, right? They only sent airmen./sarc
I’ve been doing a slow burn as our military is once more put in the role of social worker. This is a military and national security crisis. Chavez and Castro will take action if we don’t. It’s time to occupy Haiti for national security reasons and get control of the country. Maybe down the road we can do nation building since that’s worked so well in other parts of the world s\ but for now, order has to be restored at a minimum of risk to our military and relief workers. Its not going to happen though for fear the US will be accused of “gasp” imperialism. We’ve become a nation of wimps.
well said.
What do you do with a million people without shelter, food or medical help? My suggestion would be for all the Caribbean countries and other countries in tropical regions to accept multitude airlifts for these people. You can’t expect these people to survive in civilized 1st world countries with temperate climates. They wouldn’t know how to live.That may sound cruel but I see no other alternative. Haiti needs a mass evacuation of all its people to deal with this catastrophe.

Obama chose the kumbayah aid model. His inesxperience is on rank display for all to see. Obama has a ;earning curve so flat that even the earths curvature has no effect on giving it help.Stupid asinine POS is this pretend president.
You know that the only winners in this debacle will be typhus and bubonic plague microbes, as the trapped corpses rot and fester, and the rains and rats come.
SHAME!
I was thinking along similar lines last night during an interview with the Marine commander of this op for the MEU. He was asked about the mission- specifically how much security could the marines provide. He said security is not their mission and they will be briefed on the ROE’s- but they will not be performing security for Haiti.
It’s madness.
