Biden thank you for telling the same things we have

[nadinbrzezinski]

been trying to 'splain to the locals.

:thumbsup:

1. What did he say?

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Well here is one litltle piece

they handled 17 airframes on the airport.

We have the capacity, the US alone to launch 17000

That does not take into account the missions launched from OTHER airforces.

He is going into the details of the response and why things "Seem to be so slow"

Of course that will be excuses for many of the knuckleheads here.

3. I'm listening right now

He's going into great detail about what the problems are in this relief effort. The why's, what's and what for's.

I almost started a post but feared it would sink because no one would recognize my name.

4. Now he's talking about the long term, 'we will be there' for Haiti. "Our

objective is to help them build a future."

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Yes, and not just us

[RC]

10. Rebuilding a nation without going to war first.

That's a first for us, U.S.

5. I love Biden, he certainly has done his homework.

I like how detailed he is.

7. All those big words and stuff? He just yammers on and on!

(And I kid--I completely agree with you.)

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. His briefer did... the General off Camera I am betting

:-)

but he can handle the info... and understands the big picture.

[Jennicut]

9. Yup, he knows what he is talking about.

11. I just found and reread the post you put up yesterday 'logistics why they take time'

It was really good and informative. And I thank you for your input into this massive movement of people and humanitarian needs. Being impatient isn't going to solve the problems.


ps....I'd post the link but not sure that's legal on here. Please put it up if it is, it needs to be seen again.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. You can link to it, as it is very legal. I guess I could do another kick too

13. Here is the post:

(I K&R'd it yesterday, so couldn't again!)

If you all haven't read this it's good info.

14. It's like trying to get a bowling ball thru a straw -

I just love how Biden explains things.
