U.S. may send 3-ship group to Haiti Associated Press WASHINGTON -- The United States is considering sending a three-ship group carrying U.S. Marines, headed by the helicopter carrier USS Saipan, to rebellion-torn Haiti as the Pentagon weighs a range of options to address the crisis, defense officials said today. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said no deployment orders had been issued to send the Saipan group to Haiti from Norfolk, Va., but called that one of the options under review. It would take about two days for those ships to reach the impoverished Caribbean nation, one official said. The other ships in the Amphibious Ready Group, which could carry about 2,000 Marines, are the dock-landing ship USS Oak Hill and the amphibious transport dock USS Trenton, the officials said. The Saipan is an amphibious assault ship that carries helicopters and AV-8B Harrier attack jets. "They haven't received any orders and nobody has told them to go anywhere," one defense official said. Miami-based U.S. Southern Command last week sent a four-member security assessment team to examine the safety of the U.S. Embassy in Haiti. On Monday, Southern Command sent about 50 Marines to Haiti to protect the embassy and other U.S. facilities in the capital Port-au-Prince amid an armed revolt against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/world/2423668 |

We need to nuke Haiti and give it to the Dominicans so they can repopulate it with bright young baseball players. MLB really is in desperate need of good young pitchers. By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson |

Heard some negative things about "little Haiti" in southern Florida as well. Namely that rather than interact/bring diversity to the table they perfectly recreate Haiti in the neighborhoods they amass in. Not that I've seen this myself, just read someone else's opinion..
