Are there hospitals in Canada, France, Venezuela, Cuba, etc?

Just wonderin'.

Another proud American moment.

Praise the efficiency of ObamaNation.

Didn't someone post an article about oil beneath Haiti last week? Just sayin'....

Florida is absolutely right to get some indication of federal responsibility for many of these patients. Ok, it's not the PC thing to do but by the same token those medical resources wouldn't be there if there wern't people arranging for them to be funded. We just don't need another Mariel Boat Lift where most of the long term expense fell on state and local budgets. The federal government arranges for these patients to be flown in and they should also pay the bills.

While the federal government doesn't fly in the illegal immigrants, it is a distinction without a difference.

I think that you mentioned the difference within the same sentence.

Haitian Airlifts Stop Over Health Cost Dispute

"I blame men for this. This wouldn't be happening if those evil men were involved. Just send the men home." -- New Hampsire Democratic Representative Carol Shea-Porter

I need to know whether Frist is a Dem (he is justified in getting an answer on funding) or a repub (typical insenstive politician) before I can answer.

--Typical DR Poster

Your doing a heckuva job there blackie!

I challenge Danni and Spud bring in a family from Haiti and let them live with you for a year. Not willing to do that then don't criticize those who won't help either.

Why do we stop with Spud and Danni?

Surely there are enough church goin' good christian folk around the world to put these displaced people up for a year.

Wanna be like jesus... here's your chance to shine.

"Are there hospitals in Canada, France, Venezuela, Cuba, etc?
Just wonderin'."

Have Canada, France, Venezuela, Cuba, etc sent thousands of "Armed Troops" like the USA has to Haiti to take over Haiti's oil and mineral riches?
Just wonderin'...but I already know the answer!

Why doesn't lard ass "Sicko" Michael Moore talk to his commie buddies about taking a few patients? Why is every problem in the world the white man's problem?

Fark!
The CRITICALLY wounded!

I'll freakin' chip in--this is ridiculous.

Sometimes you have to move and pick up the pieces later.

If this were for minor injuries, that'd be one thing....

Ok
Thomas Jefferson once said:
I TREMBLE FOR MY NATION WHEN I REMEMBER GOD IS JUST!

I wouldn't live anywhere NEAR Florida now...

To do this to the poor, judgment day for Florida (GOVERNER DID IT) is here.

If you have Relatives, then you need to tell them to leave Florida now... While they can...

We need to get a real PResident.
What did he win the peace prize for?
Increase Troops to Afganistan
Attack Iran
Cut off aid to Haiti.

I wonder if Papa Doc duvalier got the Nobel peace prize too, he should have, it is a sarcstic award.

LFTHNDTHRDS you stink
I will personally put up 200 of them, just bring them over here.

What a wuss.

CAN't AFFORD HEALTH CARE FOR THE POOR
But Can afford MISSILE DEPLOYMENT TI IRAN

something really stinks in Washington.
Its time to vote against the republicans, they run the war machine and it is time to vote against the Democrats, their best shot stinks

we are going to vote for Ross PErot.

Attack Iran

Speaking of that, where are all the lefties who mockingly sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" whenever Bush sent an extra ship into the Persian Gulf? I guess it's OK now since the Messiah is doing it.

That was John McCain. The right wingers here were the ones calling for bombing Iran, i.e. "turn that fucking place into glass" (sic).

Still, I haven't heard anyone on the left complain about Obama's current buildup over there. I don't understand how the left could be upset about someone talking about it, but not upset about the president actually doing it. I'm scratching my head over that one.

We're bombing Iran? Hm. News to me.

Oh, defenses. Well, we've had those in the ME for decades. All the more important since 9/11 and Bush's invasion of Iraq made Iran a power in the region.

GOATMAN

From your Guardian UK link:

Tension between the US and Iran heightened dramatically today with the disclosure that Barack Obama is deploying a missile shield to protect American allies in the Gulf from attack by Tehran.

That's a 'defensive' not an 'offensive' weapons system. After the protests there I can't see how I hope some of the right wingers wanting to turn Iran into a parking lot will remember the hundreds of thousands who risked their lives to protest the Tehran regime.

Have a good night, GOATMAN. Got up for a snack. Back to ZZZZZZZ

After the protests there I (-sleep induced tyop removed here-) hope some of the right wingers wanting to turn Iran into a parking lot will remember the hundreds of thousands who risked their lives to protest the Tehran regime.

Presumably McCain's was a defensive position as well -- defense against nukes Iran is building.

Also, the US Navy now moving in the Perisan Gulf is quite capable of offensive maneuvres.

It's a fine line between what we call offense and defense.

Still, I haven't heard anyone on the left complain about Obama's current buildup over there. I don't understand how the left could be upset about someone talking about it, but not upset about the president actually doing it. I'm scratching my head over that one.

www.guardian.co.uk

You'll find your answer in The Guardian article you linked. Half way down it said:

...American officials said the move is aimed at deterring an attack by Iran and reassuring Gulf states fearful that Tehran might react to sanctions by striking at US allies in the region. Washington is also seeking to discourage Israel from a strike against Iran by demonstrating that the US is prepared to contain any threat....

The Administration just threw in the names of some US allies like Kuwait and some other Gulf states in order to not make this build-up look like why it's really being done -- to head Israel off at the pass from doing a pre-emptive strike on Iran and starting Armageddon in the Middle East.

Our intel must have gotten word Israel was just about set to go in and nuke Iran. We all know the Neocons in the Israel government (and many of their Neocon buddies here) have been chomping at the bit to go to war with Iran for years. The Israeli government has been ramping up their threat to do a pre-emptive strike for some time now.

I've got nothing against Israel nor the Israeli people but I'm sick of the Neocons over there dragging OUR AMERICAN BOYS into war. You know damn well if Israel goes ahead with a pre-emptive nuclear strike it's we Americans who'd have to go in and finish up the job. Don't we always?

Frankly, if this is what Obama accomplished with this heavy military build-up right now -- not allow Israel any reason to say they weren't being protected from Iran and going ahead with a pre-emptive strike -- then I'd have to say he's doing a damn good job. And likely saved hundreds of thousands of lives if he managed to stop Israel's Neocons from nuking Iran.

Face it, Iran has too many billions of dollars in contracts with other countries. The last thing they need or want is to stir up trouble with the U.S. and have a boycott put on their exports. It's Israel -- the Neocons in the Israeli government and their puppets over here like Senator Lieberman -- who want to drag our boys into war and frankly I'm getting sick of it.

It's a fine line between what we call offense and defense

Well I certainly hope so.

The alternative would be rather cumbersome, don't you think?

I'm out of here. Good night, all.

I just hope Ahmadinejad realizes if he pushes things too far and does something stupid this will be his first and only virgin:

Well, at least she's a blonde. A LOT of blonde.

Tosser? Tosser? You out there? LOL

Things may be approaching the point in Iran they were in Iraq following the 1991 Gulf War, when Iraqis (including general staff) were willing and able to overthrow Saddam, but were left to be slaughtered while the U.S. stood by.

As the recent demonstrations make evident, the Iranian people by and large want a change in government and are willing to risk their lives to get it. Many clerics have stepped into the fray in recent weeks. Perhaps we'll see a change in regime brought about by Iran's people with a wink and a nod (and maybe some CIA covert ops to help them).

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tosser? Tosser? You out there?

Hmph... fake blonde. Look at her dark eyebrows.

I want the real deal.

OK, All you tea baggers can all start complaining again. Obama started the the air lifts up again. Apparently it wasn't about the money, they simply ran out of space and the red states were whining as usual about sharing their resources.

OK, All you tea baggers can all start complaining again.

I was trying to be polite, but you asked. As a teabagee, you need to watch those teeth.

Thanks

Perhaps NY could pay for the Haitians. Florida residents will be paying enough if healthcare is passed

Why should FL pay the expenses? Why shouldn't all the donations to Hati pay the bills?

Come on. That BS was just a conservative snow job in Florida and you know it sniper, but what the heck, you may as well ride it for all it's worth. If it's not that you will find something else to whine about.

and you're obviously a narrow minded religious putz.

I was simply making a point that everyone can help out. Why assume that Tater and Danni wouldn't help.

Wearing your religion on your sleeve are ya?
