Any word as to how many Palistinians in Haiti or their contributions yet? Perhaps Hamas or Hezbohla sent some aid?

I don't how much money Israel has donated but they have soldiers on the ground in Haiti and they have been one of the most prolific rescue teams according to when I was watching CNN.

Nothing to you of course. Also nothing to your BS world, enjoy ignorance. Israel might need to repair a bunker or two from the thousands of missle, mortars and artillery attacks on it's cities….this year.

Probably more than Israel has given Haiti? Maybe they can throw some of the $4 billion a year we give to Israel every year down to the Haitians. Wait what does this have to do with anything?

Who said the US military alone? They are saying the US military should solely take charge of the aid effort not kick aid organizations out.

Maybe the wording was poor. By saying the U.S. should solely take charge of the aid effort, I wouldn't interpret that to mean the U.S. should be expected to be the sole provider of aid. But, the U.S. is in the position to be the traffic manager and facilitator of the international aid … for the time being.

The U.N. is not in a position to do that. They are still reeling from the significant loss of personnel and resources there. They are focused on providing what they can for their own. They also don't have the logistic resources.

Until the port is cleared and the ships arrive, there will be a bottle neck for airlift delivery. Someone has to be in charge of prioritizing and coordinating what will be on those flight, irregardless of where it's coming from internationally. The U.S. is the only one positioned and equipped to do that right now.

The aftermath of the immediate rescue will require more of a U.N. coordinated security and recovery plan.
