I was wondering why they weren't using Jamaica

[malaise]

as an intransit stop for people and aircraft and just heard that Hillary will be landing here shortly.

1. I knew it.

They have a brain machine and are stealing your thoughts! :wow:

[malaise]

8. LOL

NO - the adults are in charge and they understand distance, logistics and facilities.

2. The Dominican Republic will see a lot of air traffic in the coming weeks

The big choke point there will be passable roads into Haiti.

[Taverner]

4. Although Rafael Trujillo did as much as he could to make sure there are no roads

Bombing large sections of highway, etc...

7. I imagine the SeaBee's can make fairly quick work of that as well

once their equipment is delivered

[Taverner]

9. I hope so

Rafael Trujillo was one sick son of a bitch

5. yup probuably best thing is to get the seaport up and running

then get the aid ships rolling in..

10. Seabees, and Corps of Engineers - they need to get to work. The port is VITAL.

11. yup you can see a big difference on the ground as soon as shiploads of supplies start to come in

it will make a huge difference in the recovery efforts, hopefully they can get stable aid stations set up and running quickly, but until the ships start arriving its could get very hairy..

12. Good link here

3. Day-um. Wouldn't you know it's Clinton's fault?

Wrong Clinton, but just the same.

6. Good! All the surrounding

countries are a huge part of this recovery in Haiti.

13. There are so many details they are not covering

because most folks will not care.

GOOD for Jamaica, and that thing is a short range plane and she will, just call me silly, talking to the locals as well... coordination, good will and all that shtick

14. They reported that Hillary flew to Kingston in a 757.

She then switched to a cargo plane. She is coming back through Jamaica with a plane load of evacuees.

They also reported that Hillary's staff went shopping before leaving D.C. and bought thousands of dollars worth of toiletries and other items. It was reported that Hillary's assistant was seen getting on the airplane with an arm load of Charmin. Her staff also bought cigarettes. Apparently they had a long discussion because it is not politically correct to support smoking but they decided that Haitians are going through enough stress and if cigarettes help get through it then that is ok.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. They had her landing on a COG flight

did not realize she changed planes

[malaise]

17. That was touching

Dems are so unpretentious - can you imagine Condi and her staff walking with Charmin?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. How we know that they are not doing so.
