These Marines will have to operate against Obamas 5th columnisistin Port Au Prince fromm the Kenyan Orange Party and the SEIU. They perpetrate insurrection.

Obama wants the aid attept to dissolve in a debacle of insurrection so that he can evacuate a million Haitians to Florida.Obama has operatives to bring that about. These operatives should be shot on sight.

(Married to a Marine, mother of a Marine, stepmother of 2 Marines - I am not biased)... In some of the Haiti coverage over the weekend, an American man was being interviewed, who had been rescued from rubble. He was with his wife. She said something to the effect of “....when I heard that the United States Marines were going to Haiti, I knew things would get better....”. Made me smile.

Semper Fi and God Bless and Protect all of our military.

This old retired chip-maker didn't know what MEU is...I expect others don't either, so, here:

Marine Expeditionary Unit

FNC reporter last night spoke of flying over entire region - much greater and more widespread damage beyond just the capital itself

Said he was seeing SOS on the ground spelled out with clothing, etc asking for the U.S. Marines

Have monitored many tweets by MSM sources complaining about just how “worthless” the UN had thus far been in terms of it’s operations

Also CNN today was praising the Israeli IDF hospital operations and slamming USAid for failing to get it’s one hospital up and operating

About time the O regime got it's head out.

No one does this sort of mission better then Marines. And the last time, in 1994, when the gangs in Cap Hatien tried to mess with the Marines they got a short sharp lesson in why that is a really, really stupid idea.

Hopefully this lesson has become part of island lore. "Do not mess with the Marines, they bad voodoo".

“First Responders Frustrated at Orders to Abandon Haiti Mission.”

“While FEMA has made the teams available, it seems USAID, which is heading the American humanitarian effort in Haiti, says those teams of first responders are not needed.”

Some Haitian after getting some water said something like “We believe in God first, and America second”.

Obama’s 5th column...

Gee, Candor - do you have a print/online source for that, or do you know someone who has that intel?

The military guy at the airport said how they were told that the Haitian police force would be in charge of security outside the airport. And then we wonder why the U.N. won’t go into some areas of town, and I think not any areas after dark.

Then the military guy said “The 82nd has been out delievery food, water and supplies and we have not encountered any problems security-wise”. (Hmmm - I wonder why that is?)

so we take our marines over there and then pick up Haitians and bring them over here using the same plane, is that how it is working?

I’m just wondering how we’re bringing in thousands of them and bringing them to FL up to 45,000 of them to live , enough to change the voting demographics and the redistricting for the census but no one can get on the runway

That is why the UN was moaning because we have the runway and they cannot get the worlds supplies in but we’re getting thousands out of there.

anyone know the answer to this please?
