Honore: U.S. military should have reached Haiti sooner


The retired general who took charge of relief efforts in New Orleans, Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina said Thursday that the U.S. military should have arrived in earthquake-devastated Haiti 24 hours earlier.
"The good Samaritans who moved early on the first day are to be applauded. They made a difference," said Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, a CNN contributor.
"What we've got to do now is get the heavy equipment in. I thought the U.S. military could have been there a day earlier. They're on the ground now, and they have a brigade en route, and that's going to make a big difference," he said.

When chaos is prominent and everyone is disorganized, I believe it would be easy to start pointing fingers and to blame others. I dont think it took too long for the military to get there, everyone just needs to work together to get through this tough time.
