Thinking of all the many times the US has bailed out various nations, I don't recall any national “hank you.” Sure, some individuals will express gratitude, but the governments??

Thre is no “Haitian word” for thaank you because there is no such language as “Haitian”. They speak FRENCH in Haiti and a dialect derived from it called “Creole”.

One of the largest natural disasters in the history of the hemisphere, with a massive population in a dysfunctional society, and the United States is being kicked in the teeth for not having a tent, sleeping bag, water and food to everybody the next day.

This is exactly the situation in New Orleans during and after Katrina except it was even tougher there. The city was under water. Yet, the Democrats and the media jumped all over Bush for every problem and for not immediately solving them.

"Sounds like the MSM just recycles the same words...:^) "

Only, it isn't the msm's word, it's the author's words.

Much of AFP’s noise on the topic stemmed from a single flight that was refused priority, that was there to evacuate French citizens, many of whom were wealthy Haitians with dual citizenship. Cry me a river. IIRC Sarkozy told them to stick a sock in it. AFP is institutionally anti-U.S.-military.
