Nobody mentions that in the Dominican Republic next door these things don’t happen.

DR: capitalist
Haiti: corrupt Communism (I repeat myself)

When you share the wealth, its code for nobody gets anything except those that are determining the sharing.

Once the UN gets involved it is bound to become a battle ground.
UN peace keepers..they are a useless bunch of lefties.

I have also a question.Have the islamic countries given any help at all.?
I do not hear of them coming to the rescue of Christians.
Worth mentioning, I think.

I heard Glenn Beck say are troops are not armed; that is NOT true.

They are expecting a lot of trouble and have planned appropriately.

I saw pics of a plane at the Haitian airport with markings of “Q U A T A R” on it but I’m not sure if that was a planeload of stuff donated by that country or if someone else just leased or borrowed the plane.

The liberal news coverage stating we cannot get aid to them and things are out of control is designed to let Obama flood Florida with Haitians.

They are already flying them here on C-17s so Obama can carry FL in 2012 and ACORN will take care of the other states.

Sad how Freepers cannot see what is really going on in Haiti and keep reposting the news media stories orchestrated by Obama.

Obama is also talking about taking people’s IRAs and 401Ks and putting them in a national annuity where you will get 5%. Evil white rich people have too much and our new Haitian guests have nothing.

Soldiers/Marines in actual combat have been charged with murder in recent years.

So what is going to happen when one of our military has to fire on a Haitian to avoid being killed?

Washington will charge the soldier/Marine with murder?

Sadly it may be simply a question of when it happens.

Already the heroes (Hugo Chavez for example) of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus/street rabble and their biological and ideological issue-cum-Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) are accusing the U.S. of occupying Haiti.

If people are truly starving they are going to riot, survival of the fittest, any of us would do the same to save our families.

The thing that makes me angriest is the corrupt government, back by Bill Clinton, that has stolen this country blind. Any US funds going in need to be watched, which is probably a joke, but if not, we will just be repeating this when a new disaster strikes.
BTW, UN trucks are driving around to keep peace, they could be passing out food and water and actually doing something...

You’re close there. It’s a Qatari C-17, and the State of Qatar has donated medical personnel and supplies from its military.
