Anger at US builds at Port-au-Prince airport
AFP/GoogleNews ^ | 1/16/10 | Deborah Pasmantier

Anger built Saturday at Haiti's US-controlled main airport, where aid flights were still being turned away and poor coordination continued to hamper the relief effort four days on.

"Let's take over the runway," shouted one voice. "We need to send a message to (US President Barack) Obama," cried another.

Control remained in the hands of US forces, who face criticism for the continued disarray at the overwhelmed airfield.

Looks like Haiti is all our fault, when will 'Zero' go on TV and apologize? Or maybe it's all Bush's fault?

I’ve noticed that most of the reporting is being done from the airport where its been safe. Gonna be interesting when they have to start reporting from the Dominican Republic.

I feel sorry for the children of Haiti.
However, with American’s losing their homes and turning to soup kitchens, I will not send them a dime after this.

Now that the RATS are in charge of our relief effort, this entire mess is doing nothing more than proving that regardless of what Bush tried to do to help during Katrina,
relief efforts take time, time, time. Of course when Bush’s relief did not reach the victims almost immediately, the entire mess was Bush’s fault. That will not be the case here with the State-run media running cover for Hussein Obama.

Isn’t that grand? We bend over backwards to RUSH to their and these ingrates behave as if they are entitled to our charity. I do not mean to insinuate that they should be kissing our rings and singing hosanahs in our honor, but at least at be a tad appreciative.

I guess this is because they are such a corrupt culture. They just operate on emotional impulse in times of crisis.

Just give them copies of some of the glowing MSM reports of what a superb job Obama is doing spurring the relief effort along. That’ll settle everything down. One outlet even had a time line of his 100% timely and proper decisions.

Yup - let them have it back. Perhaps Venezuela or Cuba could step up to the plate.

Bush faces restrictions in New Orleans that Obama doesn’t face in Haiti. It sounds like the Haitian president has pretty much handed over control.

In New Orleans Bush couldn’t just send in the national guard and seize control.

I wonder how much of this “anger” is real and how much os fabricated by the MSM.

Also, if it is real, who is driving it?

The disarray is merely perceived.

The USAF is performing ATC and scheduling aircraft landing sequence based upon their cargo and an established priority of needs. [FOX news]

” I guess this is because they are such a corrupt culture. They just operate on emotional impulse in times of crisis.”

Yeah, and given French people were also fussing in the article, this applies nicely to the French “culture” and people as well.
