Haiti, A ‘Shit-Hole’? Does Having No Sewers in Capital City Qualify?

We learn this from NPR, “Port-Au-Prince: A City Of Millions, With No Sewer System“.  The grisly facts do seem to substantiate the claim that Haiti could possibly be a “Shit-Hole”.  The people, though, not so much.

Port-au-Prince is about the size of Chicago. But it doesn’t have a sewer system. It’s one of the largest cities in the world without one.

That’s a big problem, but never more so than during a time of cholera.

Since cholera was introduced into Haiti 18 months ago — most likely by United Nations peacekeeping troops from Nepal, where the disease is endemic — more than a half-million people have gotten sick and at least 7,050 have died.

Public health authorities say cholera will stay in the environment for a long time, because Haiti has the worst sanitation in this hemisphere.

It’s hard for Americans to imagine what this means.

The cumulative sewage of 3 million people flows through open ditches. It mixes with ubiquitous piles of garbage. Each night, an all-but-invisible army of workers called bayakou descend into man-sized holes with buckets to remove human waste from septic pits and latrines, then dump it into the canals that cut through the city.

Obama Called Libya a “Shit-Show” and the MSM Yawned

Jeff Goldberg’s article “The Obama Doctrine“, in the April 2016 edition of The Atlantic magazine states that Barack Obama called the state of Libya a “Shit-show”.  No big deal, right?  And it was no big deal

Senator Dick “Shit-Weasel” Durbin

because you didn’t have a ‘shit weasel’ like Senator Dick Durbin trying to score political points and sabotage the negotiations for DACA reform. Durbin proves, again, why you can never trust a Democrat to negotiate in good faith or to adhere to the terms agreed.  Nothing should ever be done without the equivalent of a “Contractors Holdback”.  So here’s what Goldberg wrote, quoting Obama,

“So we actually executed this plan as well as I could have expected: We got a UN mandate, we built a coalition, it cost us $1 billion—which, when it comes to military operations, is very cheap. We averted large-scale civilian casualties, we prevented what almost surely would have been a prolonged and bloody civil conflict. And despite all that, Libya is a mess.”

Mess is the president’s diplomatic term; privately, he calls Libya a “shit show,” in part because it’s subsequently become an isis haven—one that he has already targeted with air strikes. It became a shit show, Obama believes, for reasons that had less to do with American incompetence than with the passivity of America’s allies and with the obdurate power of tribalism.
