Chavez says U.S. occupying Haiti in name of aid

Yeah, Chavez has sent a grand total of ONE plane of supplies. He's quite the hero. Funny how the people that do the least are so fast to criticize us. Here's a nice article on what 'The Great Satan' is doing for Haiti as opposed to some of our critics. : http://www.billoreilly.com/show;jsessionid=D64BF22B07AC55D543403F72F848351E?action=viewTVShow&showID=2516#1

I think Chavez may have a point, actually, though I don't think it's necessarily an invasion in the classic sense. If anyone has read 'The Shock Doctrine' (Naomi Klein), they will understand that economic warfare is much more damaging in the long-term... The IMF has already imposed conditions on its 'emergency loan' which represent the neo-liberal's wet dream; I just hope Haitian don't end up as shafted as the victims of the Boxing Day tsunami. The troops will serve a useful purpose, I have no doubt; but they will also guard the 'security' of private property and real estate, once it's sold to the hawks.

He can only make himself look good by attacking what others do. He does not understand what it means to be charitable. He only does what is best for him with no concern for others.

And if the USa didn't go into Haiti, someone would complain that we weren't doing enough to help a country poorer than us. The way I see it, no matter what we do, someone will find an excuse to complain.

I don't think Chavez gives a hoot about Haiti. If he did, he would have been trying to help them ages ago. Chavez just sees this as an opportunity to denigrate the United States. He's a pathetic little man.

I was waiting for this one. Why? Well because we sent the army and other military forces in not only help with aid but to also keep the peace. SO yes the US has aid workers there. Yes we have doctors and other things....but we also have armed soliders to stop the looting and fighting.To restore some kind of order. It is only until the UN peace keepers can get in there.But of course some country was going to look at this way....I saw this one coming a mile away. I just was not sure WHICH country it was that was going to accuse us of it.
