IF THE U.S. WAS ANY SLOWER GETTING AID TO HAITI I'D THINK THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO NOLA

This is horrendous, that the United States would not have gotten in there with water, food, and medical care is un-frigin-believable. The bottle-neck airport excuse is getting very old. The first 2 to 3 days people severely injured or trapped mostly died. Then those just banged up took care of themselves. Now those with open wounds or open fractures are getting infected. Some of them are septic by now. On top of this injured people are dehydrated and malnourished. This makes it hard for them to fight infection. There are two possible explanations for this, either between all of them there is only one functioning brain cell or they are doing it on purpose. They used propaganda to make a big deal how the U.S. was sending aid and then blocked other countries from getting their medical teams in. They had to have their military take priority over aid, which gives us a clue about what they are really doing there. This isn't even a Brownie moment, this is a team of Brownies.

I think there might be a tiny bit of validity in the airport thing when you look at the visual and consider there is no functional control tower for an airfield designed to accomodate three flights a day.

And, yes, we can do better. We can always do better, but the need is beyond comprehension and the destruction so great, and where do you start?

Even with no runway or airport at all the aid could have been dropped into the country. This is one of the things the military knows how to do well. The airport was apparently also shut down for a period of time for Hillary Clinton. They are allowing military flights to take priority over aid. Yes, it is hard to use the infrastructure, but we have the capability of getting around that.
