Bush Orders US Marines To Haiti
 

Here we go! Rev up the Humvees boys, lock and load . . .

:ak47:

What's in Haiti?

must be strategic for the next conquest...

Bush is running out of Cuban cigars :glugglug

Do you watch the news, all hell has broken loose in Haiti

Only 50 troops, nothing to worry about.

sugar refining, flour milling, textiles, cement, light assembly industries based on imported parts

coffee, mangoes, sugarcane, rice, corn, sorghum; wood

manufactures, coffee, oils, cocoa

Export partners US 83.9%, Dominican Republic 6.6%, Canada 2.4% (2002)

80% of the population lives in abject poverty

GDP purchasing power parity - $1,400

major Caribbean transshipment point for cocaine en route to the US and Europe; substantial money-laundering activity; Colombian narcotics traffickers favor Haiti for illicit financial transactions; pervasive corruption

1 out of 15 people is HIV positive in Haiti

and this effects me how?

I'd be worried if it was Mexico, but it is freaking Haiti. There are probably more Haitians in NY than on that little rock.

and we're going to bail out the asswipe running this place? :(

fuck - they have every right to revolt

My suggestion is to stay away and let them deal with there own problems and I think that Bush will do the right thing and not intervene militarily because he's too busy with Iraq :)

But it could be good for his reelection chances though, because people in Haiti are asking for an intervention. So he can go there, save the day temporarily and gain a few votes.

uh oh

Well it's obvoiusly about the oil..... I mean, The US only goes to war when it's about oil.

They are now thinking that that is not correct info and the tests were not given correctly.

We are just sending troops to protect the US Embassy, not to fight.

is there a news article on this?

ruh roh
why am I reminded of that Samuel L Jackson/Tommy Lee Jones movie now?

Dang bush! Always where he don't suppose to be! :ak47: (BUSH)

Good point, I was just watching the news and I saw what was happening. At least Bush has something to do now

It always starts with we're just sending troops to protect the US Embassy.

The capitol will be burning down within the week. Half the country is under rebel control. The rebel leaders said they're moving next to the biggest city. Then what? 50 marines are going to stand up to millions of bitter people?

That's what makes them marines and not adult webmasters.:1orglaugh

UGH:(

They do have every right to revolt..homeboy wasn't running the country as planned...at least they have the nuts to do away with the goverment...let them be..

The rebels are not after the US embassy.

There are only 200 armed rebels doing all of this. The rest of the people are just looting and catching shit on fire because they can and because they want free shit.

This is not an uprising because they hate Americans so we should not even be an issue for them. They ousted their leader and are taking control of the country themselves. However, you can bet your ass that if we are fired on, there will be some Haitians gunned down.

Who cares!

It's because export to US of 83.9% is why they want to make sure the country is safe. Food and cheap labour is just as valuable as oil...

Cheers,
Matt

People who may have friends or family there. People who care that a war is breaking out not too far from American soil, and the American troops we just sent may get killed. Those troops are brothers, fathers & sons.

Have a heart man. This world is not just about you.

Liberate Haiti!!:ak47:

You been to South Florida?

Haitians everywhere.

If the country collapses you'll see another illegal migration wave into the US.

I'm sure 50 jarheads will be enough to handle this small job :thumbsup
