Yeah yeah yeah, we know, they’re there for “Meals on Wheels” purposes, as the very sensitive and approving Rush Limbaugh termed it today. But that doesn’t mean we can’t pray for at least a few Predator attacks or tactical offshore missile launches, right? If we’re going to have a War on Haiti, we might as well have a War on Haiti. (BTW — where did we find 10,000 available troops for this?) [AP]

I wish Rush would suffer and die from ass cancer but it doesn’t happen
They can bring back Baby Doc to run triage for the the collateral damage!
THEY ARE CURSED. WE MUST BOMB THEM PROMPTLY. SEND PAT ROBERTSON TO THE FRONT LINES. HE IS SURELY WILLING TO FIGHT THE FIGHT ALL BY HESELF FOR TEH JEEBUS.
“where did we find 10,000 available troops for this?”
The Navy. Afghanistan is landlocked, and Iraq nearly so; those lucky soldier ain’t doing anything.
They’re not troops — they’re 10,000 Scientologists. They’ll set up tents and do “laying on of hands” to the wounded, which makes them all better. It’s true because their religion almost has “science” in the name.
(BTW — where did we find 10,000 available troops for this?)
France. This does not bode well for the Hatians or, if you believe that anal leakage emanating from Pat Robertson’s oral cavity, this bodes very well for the Hatians.
Included in the total of “troops” are all those sailors aboard the various ships heading to Haiti. Not much need for the Navy in Iraq or Afghanistan (with the exception of corpsmen for the Marines, counter-IED specialists and air support), so they can go Haiti and get more recruiting video (See, you can help people and not risk getting blown up doing that in the Navy). The rest of the number comes from strategic reserves (Shhh! Don’t tell North Korea!) like the 82nd Airborne Division’s alert battalions and a Marine brigade already afloat waiting for shit to hit the fan someplace.
That said, fuck Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh. What assholes!
We are honor-bound to bomb those troops. The nation is on the verge of anarchy, and now you have armed men running around from a foreign nation.
Oh, wait, are these our troops?
….hell, bomb them too.
Our troops will be there to issue Massachusetts voter registration cards.
[re=495627]Dr. Zoidberg[/re]: Death to America! Inshallah!
[re=495616]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: If we do that, the Haitians will defend their motherland by throwing severed limbs and crushed black babies at us. Then where will be?
I love Wonkette to death…but this post is pretty obnoxious in many ways. The ignorant comments, which are incredibly offensive, are I guess to be expected on a post like this. Not a good job.
No worries. I’m sure if any of them did a stint or two in Iraq or Afghanistan they’ll be shooting looters before the first day is out.
At this point in the Hurricane Katrina timeline, George W. Bush had still not been heard from.
[re=495667]gurukalehuru[/re]: He was on vacation. He was TRYING TO GET AWAY. Nobody wants to work at such times.
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: Offensive? THIS post? And THESE comments? You’ve got to be kidding.
Offensive would be something like:
“And in their spare time, the freedom-loving troopers of the 82nd will use AIDS-raddled little Haiti kids for target practice.
‘It reminds me a bit of my days with Charlie Company,’ Col. William “Rusty” Calley remembered. ‘Only back in ‘Nam, you didn’t have to worry about getting the blood on your BDUs. And the woman could only kill you with a broken bottle . . . ‘
GO AIRBORNE! ALL THE WAY!”
Or even worse, sending down The Great White Dope, e.g., George Herbert Walker Bush. Now, THAT’s “offensive.”
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: Hah! Troll, if you are offended by this, you’ve NEVER been here before. Fuck off now.
[re=495675]Neilist[/re]: They could boil him for soup.
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: Shut up, Sarah.
My careful, studied assessment is that carpet bombing is called for. We must fight them there before (yada-yada).

ClearChannel/XMS’ Jim Quinn calls Haiti “North Korea in the Caribbean”
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: Welcome to Wonkette! Here’s a dictionary, open to the meanings of the words ‘satire’, ‘irony’, ‘humor’….
[re=495633]Long Form Def Certificate[/re]: Ah, comrade! Let us take up slingshots and pointy sticks against the great American Satan, America!
[re=495621]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I predict that an army of science-scented tologists will clear and hold the cursed darker half of Hispaniola, until the Haitians insurgents make a pact with Thetan and are finally able to drive the engramic celebrities and Clearwaterites screaming from their shores.
[re=495632]S.Luggo[/re]: Merde! C’est les vouyous du G.L.A.N.D encore!
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: How so?
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: I mean… I don’t want to bomb Haiti. Yet.
It’s an American fact that 3 of the 9/11 hijackers were Haitian. Our troops just need to check if enough black babies died to make up for them doing WTC to us. If it turns out too many babies died BAM! another earthquake.
[re=495710]Jim Newell[/re]: The problem with bombing Haiti would be that no one could tell the difference. Sort of like when Curtis LeMay threatened to bomb the North Vietnamese “back to the Stone Age.” Someone had to break the bad news: “Huh, General? They’re already there.”
On the other hand, bombing Haiti would be in the grand tradition of the Reagan, Bush 1 and Clinton Administrations: Only declare war on countries we can beat.
Rush, why you hates Meal-on-Wheels?
Nebber minds. I gets it.

[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]:
To mock ignorance one must be one with the ignorance.
So while the bodies rot in the street and the survivors struggle to find food and water for themselves and for the injured, ol’ Rush has found time away from stuffing his fat mug with Oxycontin and lard to criticize Obama even on this?
I suppose he is worried that all this attention to Haiti will also bring attention to his favorite sexual tourism spot of the Dominican Republic next door. Increased demand might drive up the prices of Viagra and 12 year olds.
I think they found the extra troops by fishing around in the couch cushions in the White House.
Could somebody send half the TV journalists home? I’ve got to think all the water and food they are using could go to people who need it.
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: I am deeply offended by you right now. DEEPLY. OFFENDED.
Not troops, obvs–no-bid Blackwater contract…
We are truly a country of shitforbrains. How hard would it have been to keep a gazillion MREs on hand with their very own little parachutes ready to drop into the next Katrina. Jesus fucking christ we can’t do a goddamn thing right anymore. It’s like we’ve all become Republicans demanding everything meet a standard of stupidity and ignorance.
I’m sure they will be tasked to provide protection for the Rawlings baseball factory; al 10,000 of ‘em.
I’m sure they will be tasked to provide protection for the Rawlings baseball factory; ALL 10,000 of ‘em.
[re=495859]thesheriffisnear[/re]: Each Ralwings’s Haitian-stitched baseball will arrive in the US in its own bodybag,
Promblem solved.
Yes, what Jumping Jim said. Why does CNN have so many reporters down there just phoning shit in. Why is Fox News even on the ground there? They don’t give a shit, why waste resources pretending. At least half those journalists down there need to GTFO and make room for people actually helping with shit.
[re=495612]liquiddaddy[/re]: The conservatives are beyond stupid so why does anyone ever mention Rush or any of them?
[re=495662]commonsensepolitics[/re]: Shortshortshorts you are posting in mulitple places.
[re=495765]fishskicanoe[/re]: Rush is pissed that they won’t be available to deliver Pizza’s with the oxycontin topping to his studio. Further, he is hoping the poorer that Haitians are the cheaper it will be for him to buy 10 years olds for Buttsecks.
