I wonder how many hours he spent hiking boxes? And, will he be back tommorow to hump more boxes of supplies?

Chavez says U.S. occupying Haiti in name of aid


CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Sunday accused the United States of using the earthquake in Haiti as a pretext to occupy the devastated Caribbean country and offered to send fuel from his OPEC nation.

"I read that 3,000 soldiers are arriving, Marines armed as if they were going to war. There is not a shortage of guns there, my God. Doctors, medicine, fuel, field hospitals, that's what the United States should send," Chavez said on his weekly television show. "They are occupying Haiti undercover."

"On top of that, you don't see them in the streets. Are they picking up bodies? ... Are they looking for the injured? You don't see them. I haven't seen them. Where are they?"

Chavez promised to send as much gasoline as Haiti needs for electricity generation and transport.

A perennial foe of U.S. "imperialism," Chavez said he did not wish to diminish the humanitarian effort made by the United States and was only questioning the need for so many troops.

Interesting how you suddenly are willing to accept the words of a man you have consistently labeled a communist and terrorist supporter as fact.

It's an offhand comment by some junior minister, backed up by MSF, and broadcasted by the Daily Telegraph, one of the most notoriously francophobe rag in the British Isles. Joyandet is probably getting his knuckles rapped right now, but hey... why let facts stand in the way of your trollism?

Keep playing  .

Rule thinks that the french planes were turned back.


Aircraft clog airport in Port-au-Prince‎

"It's an extremely small airport [in Port-au-Prince]. There are planes circling and those on the ground are having a tough time getting out of there. There's not enough personnel to get the planes off the ground," said the CBC's Kristin Falcao from the Montreal hotel where evacuees who are not injured will be debriefed by the Red Cross.


Aid to Haiti Speeds Up, but Delays Mar Effort


Several countries and other aid groups also have complained that the U.S. military has refused to let some of their supply planes land at Haiti's crippled airport. "It's a question of physics," says Capt. John Kirby, a U.S. military spokesman in Haiti. "The airport is the only way in, it only has one runway, and there are literally hundreds of flights trying to make it in."



US Military Blames Crowded Parking Lot for Diverted Planes at Haiti Airport


A full parking lot is to blame for the bottleneck at the airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where relief supplies after last week's massive earthquake are being stored and distributed -- if the cargo planes carrying them can land.

Several complaints have been made about the number of planes diverted, and the French and Brazilians reportedly have filed specific criticisms to the State Department.

But military officials said the United States, which is in charge of the airport, is trying to move planes through the tarmac as quickly as possible. They said space constraints have presented a challenge as they work around the clock to offload relief supplies.

"It literally became, if there was a parking space open, we would get them on the ground and get them in here. Unfortunately sometimes, you got big aircraft that occupy a big spot on the ramp and we can't get them out fast enough -- and so people are having to hold to get in," Air Force Col. Ben McMullen told Fox News.

It still staggers me, it has been over a week since the disaster and the ball ain't quite rolling yet out there as regards providing aid to the needy. What happened to all this high tech equiptment the military are mean't have, these go anywhere vehicles that cost millions of whatever currency, what about the Chinooks and other heavy lift transport VTOL aircraft, they don't need much flat space to operate from, it is all taking too long, people are dying.  No berths in the ports, well cruise liners are still managing to berth further down the coast, what's wrong with traveling a few miles to the affected areas, helicopters make short work of distance. If it was a theatre of war, do you think it would have taken this long to get the troops and hardware where they are needed.

Or is it politics has it's hand in this.




Maybe Barack Obama doesn't care about black people???

Thank you Aneirin, I have been saying the same thing since last Thursday!
Why the hell is it taking so long for things to get rolling?
They seem to be dropping food as they did in the situation in New Orleans.
With all the countries "helping" and all the money that has already been raised,
all the people/and troops that have been sent, what is the hold up?

My answer is while you are criticizing Bill Clinton for being on the ground there, what are you doing to help that justifies that criticism?

Status: offline 		The hold up is that the airport is full and there are not enough vehicles and escorting police/troops to get the aid out, plus which many roads are impassable. Aid is going out as quickly as it can with the resources available - this is not helped by preventing the US from landing vehicles and personnel by air, until the port is reopened.

The ultimate problem here is that what governmental and NGO infrastructure existed - not much and not very effective - has been destroyed, so this is a situation that has to be dealt with from the ground up with nothing to found the effort on but what is built as part of the relief effort.

Anyone even slightly more intelligent than you, kittensol, domiguy or a doorknob should clearly be able to see that the OP and the Chavez post were totally in jest.

I suggest the posters who, like me, are sick of being taken for a ride on the back of your intellectual dishonesty, emulate me.
