The first U.S. Navy ship arrived in Haiti yesterday morning. A large aircraft carrier is set to arrive off the coast today, with 19 helicopters and relief supplies. We speak to Rear Adm. Victor Guillory, who is responsible for the U.S. naval operations in Haiti.
"The issues will be resolved over the next day, now that we have more helicopters in theater, and the coordination is getting better, communication is being improved with the various agencies in Haiti, and I believe we will see relief in those areas shortly."
--Rear Adm. Victor Guillory

Pardon me? Are these the same "Bloody Hands must belong to the same, exausted young American (some with bloody stumps where arms and legs were) who selflessy left the Comfort of this country to track down the internation terrist, who masterminded the execution of Around 4,000 "scary" business men, pregnant moms working to make ends meet,and the "evil babies and toddlers" in the towers daycare that morning: 11 September 2001. Those bloody hands whom while you sit, sipping the cold one, opps I stand corected, with your 12 pack by your side, the doorbell just rang, so get out of your lazy boy (knuckles draging) and go to pay the pizza delivery guy ( with the $ saved having gotten on food stamps, which also bought the beer. You can rest assured that "thoses bloody hands are struggling, in the desert cold, to eat that can of goo call K-rations. Did you get your pizza?...pop another top? There is a rerun of cops coming on, you know, the bloody hands that protect your lazy, good for absolute nothing, self!.
Wow! A navy ship, no less. Sweet! No doubt Haitians will be thrilled to see the help come from the bloody hands of non other than US soldiers but, hey, I guess that beggars can't be choosers, eh?
