I may be way off base here but here goes: Anyone want to bet this team is not made up of the "right kind of people"?
This reminds me of years ago when I was volunteering year round, for three years, to teach tennis to inner city kids in New Haven, CT. Virtually all of the coaches were white. Then, when the tournament here decided to stop funding the program, the local people took over the program. All of the white coaches were told that they weren't needed anymore. They wanted to keep it "local" they said.
Within a year the program completely fell apart. I never went back and never would. To heck with them.
Where’s OBOZO HUSSEIN?
1. Writing a New Speech Describing How Good “HE” is?
2. Shoting Some Hoops to Relax?
3. Playing Some Golf to Relax from the Hoops?
4. Taking a Ride Around Manhattan Sightseeeing on AF-1?
5. Figuring Out How to Blame Bush for the Earthquake?
6. Playing Cards with His Boyfriend, Reggie Love?
7. Figuring Out How to Throw COAKLEY Under the Bus?
8. Blaming America for All that is Wrong in the World?
9. Asking His Wife if He is Allowed to Play POTUS Again?
10.Calling Letterman to Ask What OBOZO should Do Next?
and Finally OBZO is Doing All of the Above!!.....:-(
Like that's going to happen, they'll make excuses about Hussein until the cows come home. It was Bush's fault that the state govt. of Louisiana had no plan and Bush had to break the law to allow FEMA to do anything (during emergencies like Katrina, it's not legal for the US Govt. to come and take over but they had no choice since the cops were just wandering around, many of them just quit on their jobs and left town, and nearly all other state govt. posts had been abandoned).
It will be really telling when Obama is not held accountable for FEMA's actions like Bush was. We'll be told that Zero had inherited a screwed-up, dysfunctional FEMA because Bush didn't give them the tools or know-how to do their jobs (if the current FEMA director is a Bush-appointee, that will be noted as the problem).
Here’s some tweets that I just pulled up. So some survivors ARE still under the rubble. But obviously every hour that goes by the odds go down. Unless they happen to be stuck in a grocery store.
But with only a limited amount of airport use, distribution routes - #%&*@ the U.N. that is in charge of that - etc., you also need all the other supplies in to keep those that ARE out and relatively healthy alive.
I loved the reports from the hospitals where they fix someone up. BUT - when they send them out, where do they go? Do they have food and water, go to someplace where they can recuperate? I doubt it. They probably get patched up and then tossed back out to someone try to survive. Good odds for dieing I would think without some extended care (in this case, maybe a glass of water and a slice of bread a day).
Here’s some of the tweets:
There are still a lot of students and teachers still alive under the debris of GOC University in Nazon. @RedCross about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck

RT abckatesnow still hope for survivors! Miami Dade search and rescue at a hospital with 2 year old Carla on a stretcher. Just pulled out about 3 hours ago from web
She showed up like you said on Saturdy, looked positively horrible and uncomfortable, mumbled some meaningless nonsense and disappeared.
Shouldn't the Secretary of State be a bit more visible in situations like this?
You asked a great question. I wonder, too.
Who the hell paints a church black? And when did it become a proper noun?
God protect them!
“It’s political.”
I totally agree. obama is snubbing in-your-face, we take no crap Texas, and we can see through the snub.
To you, Texas search and rescue teams, we say give obama his famous, favored middle finger salute and do what you think best...we are behind you!!
6 days trapped? I guess there are still some people left, I don’t remember what is the longest time anyone has made it, but at this point is going to be mainly a recovery mission. The Marines have landed and their support units are on the way. The current thinking is that we are going to build some new piers next week. Until then everything will be over the beach. The ready reserve ships with the bridging and pier equipment didn’t get activated until Saturday(Obama’s Fault) and it will take them around 5 days to set sail, plus they have to pick up some material.
If you search on the United Nations on this forum, you’ll find plenty of answers to your questions. People who have fallen for the ‘sustainable’ agenda,should know that to achieve ‘sustainable’, a vast destruction of the human population needs to occur. That is why the globalist push for ‘sustainability’, ‘green’ and ‘the environment’ is so cynical and tyrannical. They don’t want you alive.
Read the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity. That’s where these stunning numbers first started to appear in public. Ted Turner, globalist and UN support came out a few years ago and actually said “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal,”.
This is why it was so despicable for Clinton to hand Haiti over to the UN as a ‘protectorate’. This is why the UN treats Haitains and their dead so despicably.
I really don’t know the makeup of the Task Force 1. I know it’s a fairly large group maybe over a 100 or so I think I’ve read. They were at Ellington Field South of Houston awaiting deployment but the order never came. One big thing I think was the ability to get them and their equipment into the zone with limited airport facilities.

People are still being found alive.
Even the new Blackhawk is sorely pressed to carry large amounts of supplies if not dedicated to that purpose.
Chinooks and certain SH-3H Sea Kings would do nicely but again are already stationed and in short supply.
As much as I would like to help these poor Haitians, but not at the expense of our boys in the hills of Afghanistan.
“units on the ground were sufficient???”
They probably could have used more search and rescue a few days ago, but streets were frequently impassable, fuel for vehicles was in short supply, water was very hard to get, etc. By now, anyone going would be engaged in body recovery by they time they got there and were deployed, not search and rescue which was the need a few days ago to present.
A further problem is lack of coordination. People here give the UN heck, they give Obama heck, but if either were to put there foot down, and say, OK, we are running this thing, people here would still give them heck. So now there is confusion/disorganization, between the government of Haiti, the UN, the US military, the Brazilians, and the various NGOs. Of course, this is all Obama’s fault because he is not being dictatorial enough, or is? While we are at it let’s blame Clinton and Bush who are working together to help the situation.
