Under Obama's Orders, America Only Nation Not Flying its Flag in Haiti Relief Effort...

Should be clear by now, Obama has no respect for what the American flag represents, like most on the left they see it as a sign of oppression, not freedom...

The many nations helping Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake that struck there have set up their own military compounds and fly their flags at the entrances. France's tricolor, Britain's Union Jack and even Croatia's coat of arms flap in the breeze.

But the country whose contributions dwarf the rest of the world's — the United States — has no flag at its main installation near the Port-au-Prince airport.

The lack of the Stars and Stripes does not sit well with some veterans and servicemembers who say the U.S. government should be proud to fly the flag in Haiti, given the amount of money and manpower the U.S. is donating to help the country recover from the Jan. 12 quake.

The Obama administration says flying the flag could give Haiti the wrong idea.

"We are not here as an occupation force, but as an international partner committed to supporting the government of Haiti on the road to recovery," the U.S. government's Haiti Joint Information Center said in response to a query about the flag.

The absence of the American flag bothers Navy veteran Arthur Herriford, national president of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association.

"It's very improper," Herriford said. "Our military people always engage and function under the American colors — always have and always will."

Only when Obama starts flying the flag with the crescent will people realise he is not loyal to this country.

Just more evidence showing Obama is our first Anti-American Presidebt, er, I mean, President. The day this fraud leaves office can't come too soon...

Our Flag isn't the representation of occupation, unless Obama has that in the back of his mind also.

What a disgrace. The current Liar-in-Chief sees our flag as a symbol of occupation. Tell that to the people of Germany, Japan and Italy. I believe it was Reagan who said that the only land we require is a place to bury our dead. Class vs classless. PI, I think you were right with presidebt.

Makes perfect sense, if you hate America. Makes perfect sense if you allow a communist country to have all our nuclear weapons designs. Makes perfect sense if you never prosecute nuclear treason.

We used to hang people for nuclear treason.

So, is he dissing all the other countries flying their flags? Maybe calling them occupiers or something? The other countries are not partners in aid as we are?

[ImNoDhimmi]

Watch out for those occupying Canadians.

I hate this man with a passion I've never felt, not even against my ex.

"The Obama administration says flying the flag could give Haiti the wrong idea."

Obama must not want victims of natural disasters to identify aid received as coming from America....I hope we are printing the American flag on every single box or item that is freely donated to the victims...

Has the Muslim world donated anything other than Qur'ans..?

[Arius]

Obama, the biggest anti-American president in the nation's history.

[Proud Infidel]

exsgtbrown,

I recently read an article in an air cargo magazine we receive at work that the some in the Muslim world have contributed to the Haiti relief. A cargo airline based in Abu Dhabi, UAE, has provided very low cost air freight for donations from the Middle East equivalent to the Red Cross, the Red Crescent. So it appears there has been some help from Muslim countries for Haiti.

This makes me so pissed!! I fought for this country. When we rolled into Kuwait guess what was flying on our humvee? Went to Somalia, guess what was flying? Guess what was stiched on to our uniforms? Fucking guess what fly's in front of my house?

[Jeff Jefferson]

He just wants all of the media coverage to show other countries. It is just more appeasing of global interests.

[hoodaticus]

IDIOT! The American soldier is the only one who historically has NEVER BEEN FEARED by local populations. Our flag is known throughout the world as a symbol of freedom. To quote the WWII theater commander George Marshall:

"We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle our flag will be known throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand and of overwhelming force on the other."

Obama is the most ignorant executive (I cannot bring myself to call him president) this country has ever had. I CANNOT WAIT to have someone who LOVES OUR COUNTRY at the helm.

PI: FWIW, the Turks also sent in a dog search team. They're pretty good at earthquake response, seeing as how Turkey is always shaking.

Was it here I read that Turkey had recently lowered the marriage age for a young girl to 12? Shocking. So sad to see what is happening there.
