256. Arm chair critics ...
Would you go into a devastated county that has NO POLICE, NO SECURITY AT ALL ... where there are TENS of thousands of hungry homeless people if you were a DOCTOR, NURSE, RESCUE WORKER, ETC.? I think not. Security is a very important part of any relief mission.

Do you want the Haitians to revolt and take over the airport?
Do you want the Haitians to storm the airport and take it over?
Do you want the Haitians to storm the airport and ransack the food, water, and medical supplies?

That is what would happen if there wasn't security there to maintain law and order.

And don't forget that there are 4,000 prison inmates that escaped the Haiti prison that are still out there lose causing havoc.

The military DID need to land first... they were the ones that got the airport in shape and operational ... they were the ones that set up the air traffic control... etc.

If you are not supporting the USA then why don't you just move to Russia or Iran or some other country that doesn't like us? We don't need your negativity and unAmerican BS!

It's arm-chair critics like the 'bashers' that give the USA a bad name.

Think about it!

In conclusion...

President Obama has done everything in his power to help in this natural catastrophe and is working with the United Nations and for people to bash Obama and the USA is sickening.

The majority of the U.N. officials that were in Haiti are DEAD lying under the collapsed buildings. The majority of the Haitian police force have disappeared and are not providing security. So, you want our American doctors, nurses, and rescue workers to land there in Haiti in the middle of chaos WITHOUT some semblance of security to protect them? I THINK NOT!

If Ya'll think that Europe could do a better job? Or Russia? Or China? Then, hey let's bring ALL of our folks home and let the other guys have the mess!

I am really sick and tired of President Obama trying his best to clean up messes that he is not responsible for and then American and PEOPLE HERE ON DU, republicans, trolls, and people around the world bashing his for his efforts!
