Another example of US imperialism...

Postby Sickbag » Thu Jan 14, 2010 7:10 pm

The US is sending up to 3,500 soldiers and 2,200 marines to Haiti to help rescue efforts in the wake of the devastating earthquake.

President Barack Obama pledged one of the biggest relief efforts in recent US history and said Haiti would "not be forgotten" in its hour of need.
Mr Obama confirmed that some US rescuers were already working on the ground in Haiti.

Speaking in Washington, he promised the country "every element of our national capacity, our diplomacy, and development assistance, the power of our military and most importantly, the compassion of our country" following the disaster.

"To the people of Haiti, we say clearly and with conviction, you will not be forsaken, you will not be forgotten," he said.

I blame the French for causing God to send Haiti an earthquake.

Robertson also caused controversy in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, when he claimed that homosexuals and liberal groups were "partly responsible" for the terror strikes.
I blame the fascist liberals.

The French minister in charge of humanitarian relief called on the UN to "clarify" the American role amid claims the military build up was hampering aid efforts.

Alain Joyandet admitted he had been involved in a scuffle with a US commander in the airport's control tower over the flight plan for a French evacuation flight
Never doubt that the French will always put up a terrific fight if anyone tries to stop them running away.
