HA??! The UN told Search and Rescue that ‘units on the ground were sufficient’???? The news does not read accordingly. And meanwhile, Obama is dithering in Massachusetts. He should be skewered.
“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.
