Jenn, are you proposing that we should have ringed the Presidential Palace
with Marines (subject to casualties) to prop up an "elected President" who
years ago had made the traditional Haitian conversion to depotic tyrant and
who had visibly lost the support of the elctorate to keep Aristide in
power?

Or that we had not offered him a free ride (along with his close relatives)
out of town on the last plane?

Then you would have been screaming that we had left him to die at the
tender mercies of his own people....


Are you talking about Aristide or Bush?

Activist claims Aristide kidnapped at gunpoint by U.S. troops

BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) - Former Haitian President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide reportedly telephoned members of Congress and
African-American activist Randall Robinson, Monday and told them he
had been kidnapped at gunpoint by U.S. troops. Top Bush administration
officials denied it.

Aristide said he was being held prisoner at the Renaissance Palace in
Bangui, Central African Republic, said Randall Robinson.

The United States has said that it facilitated Aristide's departure at
his request. White House spokesman Scott McClellan called the claim
"complete nonsense."

"It was Mr. Aristide's decision to resign," he said.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also said the Haitian leader left
the country of his own accord.

"The idea that someone was abducted is just totally inconsistent with
everything I heard or saw," Rumsfeld said.

Robinson spawned the series of denials by saying Aristide was a coup
victim.

"He asked that I tell the world that it is a coup. That he was
abducted by American soldiers and put aboard a plane," said Robinson,
the founder and former president of the TransAfrica lobbying forum in
Washington D.C. Robinson lives on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts.

Robinson said Aristide claimed he was being held prisoner in the
Central African Republic at a building surrounded by soldiers.

There were indeed soldiers around the palace where Aristide is staying
in Bangui.

But officials here disputed the charge. "Aristide is not a prisoner in
the Central African Republic," Foreign Minister Charles Wenezoui, who
greeted the ousted leader upon his arrival at Bangui's airport this
morning, told The Associated Press.

Aristide, his wife and a few companions landed just after daylight in
the Central African Republic, a nation as impoverished and nearly as
coup-prone as the one he left.

"He is a free man, and the heavy security measures around the
presidential palace are for his own security," Wenezoui said.

Authorities said the United States, France and the West African nation
of Gabon negotiated Aristide's asylum here. State radio said it would
last only a few days, with South Africa possibly a permanent stop.

In his first public remarks since fleeing Haiti on Sunday, Aristide
condemned the armed insurgency that forced him out — yet said nothing
about returning.

"In overthrowing me, they cut down the tree of peace," Aristide
declared on state radio. "But it will grow again, because the roots
are well-planted."

Earlier, government ministers stood by as Aristide descended from a
jet in a rumpled suit and a firmly knotted tie. His wife, looking
worried, was by his side.

AP exclusively viewed a videotape of Aristide's arrival, which lacked
the red carpet and greeting from the host head of state usually
afforded dignitaries. No soldiers were visible as Aristide disembarked
from the plane.

Officials drove the couple to the palace of the Central African
Republic's leader — Gen. Francois Bozize, who came to power in March
2002 by overthrowing this country's elected leader.

Aristide apparently remained in the palace throughout the day.
Soldiers were out in heavier than usual numbers around the
presidential compound, and turned back an AP reporter who tried to
approach.

It was not clear how it was decided that Aristide would come to the
Central African Republic. However, Bozize has been courting
international support and aid as he tries to restore stability to his
country.

"He's here with his wife, and we've granted them asylum for the
beginning, and then we'll see what happens," Communications Minister
Parfait Mbaye told AP, adding Aristide's ultimate fate could be known
"in the days to come."

On the flight from Haiti, Aristide told a Caribbean official on the
island of Antigua that he was bound for South Africa, the official
said.

In Pretoria, South Africa's capital, Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz
Pahad said his country did not "in principle, have any opposition" to
taking in Aristide. Pahad said he knew of no formal asylum request.

In his statement on state radio, Aristide thanked Central African
Republic authorities, and saluted Africa and its people — "because
Africa is the father of us, Haitian men and women."

Although rich in gold, diamond and other resources, the Central
African Republic is habitually unable to pay its civil servants,
helping spark strikes, unrest and coup attempts. The country has
weathered nine coups or coup attempts since independence from France
in 1960.


You liberals should all be rounded up and thrown in jail.

Aristide called Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, Jesse Jackson
and members of the Black Caucus to complain that the US
government saved his worthless hide. Aristide was part to
the Clinton legacy and Bush should have just let UN and
France debate over the proper action to take in Haiti for
ten or twelve months and the Haitians probably would have
disposed of the thug Aristide and saved the world a great
deal of money and lives.


Waters, Rangel, and Jackson are a bunch of insane left wing liberals who
lost all touch with reality.

Who do you believe Secritary Powell or Aristide?


Even the comparison is insulting. Powell of course!

Pres GW Bush and Colin Powell said this isnt true and in my opinion
thats right. Even if they did it they probalby had to do it for the
Good of the American Nation and the people of Haiti. Aristeide was a
leftist and couldnt control his country so he had to go and what ever
happened its a good thing hes not in charge of Haiti any more.

Its kind of like with Iraq whether or not there were WMDs there doesnt
matter because the most important thing is that Sadam is gone now and
the people of Iraq are free and thats good for them and for the People
of America and the American Nation.


All I can say is there is a reason why Haiti is the poorest country in the
world. Think about it.

(Even God has forsaken them for a reason.)
