A mass of gangs has been terrorizing Haiti after thousands of inmates escaped two prisons, with armed gangs attempting to storm the airport.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

Haiti just can't seem to get a break.  First the earthquakes, then the government assassinations, and now this.

My niece used to do work in Haiti for Samaritans Purse.  I was so relieved when she left there, but then she went to Iraq!  SP recently sent all/most? of their workers home from Iraq, so she is now back in the states. :twirl:

^I didn't know they went to such dangerous places. I worked for Samaritans Purse in the next town over from me when it got flooded last summer.

Yeah.  She met her husband in Iraq.  He was the head of security for SP in the area of Iraq where they were located.  He is a former Army Ranger.  Really glad they are back stateside, but from what I hear, they cant wait to go back.


Back to Haiti news.  I read their el Presidente has landed in Puerto Rico.  Probably waiting/hoping for US intervention before going to Haiti.

landed in Puerto Rico because the gangs are shooting up the airport.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

That is good news.  At least for once a leader realized he should just pack it up and step down.

I was being just slightly sarcastic in my last post above as I am sure that with tens of thousands of bloodthirsty gangsters roving Haiti that their problems in 2024 are just beginning. Where's that Kenyan rescue mission?

Papa Doc's and Baby Doc's legacy lives on.
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

True but I did notice at least this guy said "I give up".  But you're right, still a lot of work left to do in Haiti.
