Could El Salvador's Bukele Be Haiti's Savior?

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEl Salvador sent more than two thousand troops to Haiti this week, and the bilateral deal that authorizes them was approved Wednesday.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOur press office would say the troops simply arrived ahead of the approval. Punctual, even.

3. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSecurity analysts say there's no UN backing and no support from the Shield of the Americas coalition.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe troops came with the paperwork still in the post.

5. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI know that feeling. You turn up before anyone's agreed you should, and the whole sky goes cold.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBukele says they didn't come to make money, because no one is paying them for that. That's a mission statement with no invoice.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHe also says his government is covering ninety percent of the costs. So who's got the other ten?

8. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTen percent. That's a front nobody's named yet.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish. Reuters says he told reporters the deployments are nearly finished. That's a project on schedule, Dale, and you can't stand it.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVera, four Salvadoran technicians went missing in a gang ambush on October eighteenth. Nearly finished is a hard thing to say about that.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich is why I'll rate the plan a cautious eight.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAn eight out of ten, with ten percent of the bill unaccounted for.
