ANIMATED CARTOON: Operation Haiti Freedom
The US made ZERO effort to help Haiti. Soldiers made aid shipments wait four (!) days to arrive while they established "command and control." Then for three more days, the aid sat at the airport, locked up and guarded...meanwhile, tens of thousands of people who could have been saved...died.

Funny as hell, Ted, and that's exactly where we are today. Not on the threshold of hell, oh, no, but in the bowels of hell. When it comes back to bite us in the ass, as these things eventually and historically do, politicians and media talking heads will ask, "Why? What did WE do to deserve this? Oh, the humanity!" The American far right/religious ideologues will blame it on the gays and former President Clinton and Hillary, which, yawn, you can take to the bank.
I didn't see your voice in the credits Ted, got Laryngitis?
Don't you think this is a bit unfair and overblown, Ted? Usually you're not too far off, but this one is just your personal biased, clear as day. Did you even notice the soldiers bringing boxes full of aid into the city?
More to your blog point...It's not as if American soldiers and citizens were happy to see Haitians die in the street for those 4 days. The military has to have a logistics plan of action before it can just wantonly step into a crisis. But of course you're too critical to recognize that. This one was a bit too much. Just unfair.
