#1 The spin in the title is typical Yahoo (in the South, this is pronounced yay-hoo - apropos for Yahoo News).

Without the US and Aussie Militaries, this would've been several magnitudes more horrific, thus qualifying as a typical UN horror show of ineptitude and corruption.

Though blatantly and obviously unappreciated - the most obvious apparent priority of the UN is taking credit, posturing, and pretense - the US & Aussie Militaries will withdraw and go back to doing what they actually should be doing as soon as the whores have played this drama for all it's worth and allowed competent orgs such as USAid, et al, to find substitute equipment and manpower to execute a program of useful aid to the victims without the military's amazing assistance. Under UN "auspicies", of course.

None of this has got anything to do with Wolfie or neo-cons (the obvious inference), or any other LLL Socialist MultiCulti Bogeyman.

Q.E.D.

Assuming that the UN will take over once the US and AUS military personnel finish their work, any contrasts (and there will likely be some) in effectiveness and organization will become apparent soon enough.
