There would be an issue with the Takings Clause to be settled after the fact, I would imagine.I don't think it would be all that hard to make the cruise lines allow us to use their facilities, if it came down to it.

I don't either if its been requested. I don't think it has....
Shuffeboard and boat drinks would do the haitians good! :thumbs:
It may not have been. I might have put two and two together and got nine.

my guess is that they are not needed as well.
it should have been volunteered.Has this been requested?
it should have been volunteered.
John Weis, the company's associate vice president, said emergency food supplies delivered by another cruise liner, Independence of the Seas, on Friday have now been distributed and that more deliveries are planned for the rest of the week.
"We've also gone through the site giving up any extra lounge chairs, bedding and mattresses which are now being used in the makeshift hospital," he said. The hospital opened in a gym in Cap Haitian, 15 miles from Labadee, where thousands of people are said to be arriving to seek shelter, food and water or medical help. Passengers have been divided about whether to disembark and use the resort, which is under armed guard and is leased by Royal Caribbean from the Haitian government.
"Guests have the option of staying onboard if they do not feel comfortable getting off in Labadee, and we have augmented our onboard programmes for those guests," said a spokeswoman. "For the guests that do disembark, they can do so knowing that the net proceeds of their visit to Labadee will be donated to the relief effort."
Another ship is due to arrive today as some observers wondered why the dock was not being given up to aid ships. The company said yesterday that US coastguards have assessed the jetty and decided it could not be used for cargo ships.
it should have been volunteered.
It's kindof irrelevant, since the supplies still have to flown in.
Royal Caribbean plans to provide at least $1 million in aid to Haiti, working with nonprofit groups like Food for the Poor, Pan American Development Foundation, and the Solano Foundation, a company foundation in Haiti. Its own Crew Relief Fund is available to more than 200 Haitian crew members.
In addition, the company said all its net revenue from Labadee will be plowed into relief efforts for a period, though it didn't say how long that would be. The company also set up a process for passengers to make donations to Haitian relief efforts by credit card.
I know this already, what I am saying is that the Republican currently, was the Whig party. There was the Whig party and the democrat party just two. There have been numerous third parties which have all failed, with the exception of Teddy Roosevelt who left his party in mid term and created the Bull Moose party, which failed and he lost his reelection. So as you can see for yourself there has only been two major parties and which I was referring to. Now your turn for your pearls of wisdom or attempted condescending attitude...This is so simple I'm just gonna go with Wikipedia:Any other pearls of wisdom you got for us?
Emphasis mine.No the Republican party was once called the Wiggins party, it wasn't a third party.

American Political Parties
Well perhaps we are looking at it through a different lens:Emphasis mine.
Emphasis mine.
First, you couldn't even get the name right. Now, you're telling me that the Whig Party became the Republican Party, which is just plain wrong. The Whig Party ended, some people became Democrats, most became Republicans. The Republican Party existed before the Whigs dissolved. I don't know how much more basic I can make this.
Here, let's see if this works: Republican Party ≠ Whig Party
Seriously, if you can't get this simple stuff, why are you wasting your time on a political debate site?
USS Carl Vincent is on location and produce 40,000 gallons of fresh water daily, I wonder if they plan on using this it would be much more efficient than bottled water.Royal Caribbean ships and others sailed into Labadee through the week, a % of the pax stayed on board and voiced their disgust, the others said things like, "we have been looking forward to this vacation, and nothing is going to spoil it" on a hill nearby American troops set up an aid station, they only had bottled water, one bottle per person, the queue of women and children streched 3mls down the mountain in the blazing sun.
The clean water beach showers worked okay in Labadee, its nice to shower off the salt water before you eat the buffet.
Thus, as I stated up-thread, the Republican Party was once a third party.Well perhaps we are looking at it through a different lens:
The Republican Party, while it also attracted many anti-slavery Democrats, drew off so many Whigs that they effectively killed the Whig party
The Whig Party
So essentially becoming the republican party, perhaps not rubber stamped as you would like but, non the less most Whigs ended up in the republican party. It all depend how you look at it.
In regards to getting the name wrong it was a more or less a typo after a very long day. Although you got the idea, this isn't a college exam so if your going to nit pick at spelling a typo's you can _______off.
How can that be if the republican party1780s - 1801 existed before the Whig party 1836 - 1850.Thus, as I stated up-thread, the Republican Party was once a third party.
The Republican Party began in 1854. The Whig Party ended in 1856.How can that be if the republican party1780s - 1801 existed before the Whig party 1836 - 1850.
Python mate, my problem is that 2yrs ago when we visited, although we only stayed 10mins, we sat on our balcony of our suite, eating and drinking whilst the majority of the population lived with hunger, what realy upset us was when we got home we read the UN report on child rape on the Island.Things have been volunteered.

That coupled with the fact that Royal Caribean and Carnival pay their staff slave wages.
A waiter will work 28 days out of every month, from 6am till 10pm for $30 + tips for those 28days.
It also upset us to witness the worst of the ignorant arrogant bad manners of the vast % of the pax, gimme, gimme and not a please or thank you to be heard.
We have never sailed on an American Line again.

As long as Haiti remembers who showed up, that's all that matters. **** the haters.
Well if I am in his position, I have control of the guys on the ground with the guns, and I say deliver the aid as quickly as possible without regard to what the UN or any other organization says. Their lives aren't the ones in the balance.
You're never been in the military right? One of the basic premises of the military is to follow orders. If you do your own thing you suffer severe consequences. It's just the way it is.
The U.S. usually deploys troops in other countries during disasters. Why is this it so different this time? I remember Bush putting troops in Asia during the tsunami.

It is something the American government always does. All this bull**** about it doing it to get recognition is ridiculous.
