Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega says that the United States has taken advantage of the massive quake in Haiti and deployed troops in the country

17 Jan 2010 Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega says that the United States has taken advantage of the massive quake in Haiti and deployed troops in the country. "What is happening in Haiti seriously concerns me as US troops have already taken control of the airport," Ortega said on Saturday. The Pentagon says it has deployed more than 10,000 soldiers in Haiti to help victims of Tuesday's earthquake. This is while US paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division took control of the main airport in the capital Port-au-Prince on Friday three days after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake brought death and misery to the impoverished nation... "There is no logic that US troops landed in Haiti. Haiti seeks humanitarian aid, not troops. It would be madness [if] we all began to send troops to Haiti," said Ortega. "I hope they will withdraw troops occupying Haiti," he added. Earlier on Thursday, Nicaragua sent 31 military doctors of the Humanitarian Rescue Unit (URH) and humanitarian aid for the victims of the calamity. [WHY is the US government delaying the delivery of lifesaving food and water in Haiti? Is the plan to create a fertile environment for the number of 'security incidents' to skyrocket (which Faux News *can't wait* to overemphasize), so there is a 'need' for Blackwater mercenaries to be sent to destabilize Haiti? Israel had a field hospital up-and-running on *Saturday.* The US is spending one hundred million dollars on Haiti - where are *their* field hospitals? --LRP]
