BBC News Channel Reporting US has taken control of Port-Au-Prince Airport.
Their report states the Haitian president has signed a memorandum authorizing this.
Can't find an online article yet. |

Re: BBC News Channel Reporting US has taken control of Port-Au-Prince Airport.
This could be very serious... However I've heard that the airport was a chaos because haitian authorities were unable to manage the logistics of the situation and planes were waiting for hours to download the help.
In other words, help was already there in Haity but it was not arriving to people in need because the airport was a chaos. Perhaps this is the reason for this action... |

I have no problem if the US takes control of this area for awhile, so much money has been poured into this region even before this quake and still people have nothing. If the U.S. govn't is going to give this country 100 million on top of all our aid, lets go in there, disband the gangs with machetie's, drug lords, and restore a new beginning from a horrible tragedy. We won't be there forever as all us americans like to come home eventually and especially when the job is done.

Re: BBC News Channel Reporting US has taken control of Port-Au-Prince Airport.
It would seem that technology for the airport was desperately needed.
SOONER rather than later... This scenario reminds me sooo much of Katrina - 'huddle the folks into an area and don't do anything' sort of scenario. Since Katrina New Orleans is being redefined, no poor enclaves? New investments - no more newspaper-stuffed levees.... Yet some of the MSM didn't seem so 'shocked' - it's almost like they were expecting this.... OK - if Haiti is like N.O., what's in it for the PTB/Corporates? Strategic hubs? Agribusiness? Those poor folk- it's totally horrific - and regularly the depth frequencies of very nasty 'politically advantageous' earthquakes have a common denominator - 10km depth. I've flagged this for years now, but been blanked by research establishments. I don't want to believe it, but I feel after all of our research, this was no natural occurrence, but who perpetrated it and to what gain? I hope the perpetrators 'reap what they sow' ad infinitum. Haiti - innocent folk - our most positive vibrations are with you all xxxxxx
