Dems query U.S. role in Aristide exile - Hint at Conspiracy
Sickening
Congressional Democrats criticized the Bush administrationâs handling of the crisis in Haiti yesterday and questioned whether the United States pushed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide into exile.
We shouldâve allowed the bloodbath to occur... of course, W would be blamed even worse for that
"You didnât want a diplomatic solution to this problem. You wanted to get rid of Aristide," said Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Far Rockaway).
Apparently we weren't the only ones. | news for Meeks: nobody gave a F&*K what happened in Haiti or to Aristide, as long as the boats stayed home
Others said the Bush administrationâs failure to support Aristide sent a chilling signal to democratically elected governments.
we should support corruption - and look - Fidel was democratically elected too, Saddam as well, right?
Rep. Robert Menendez, a sleazy New Jersey Pimp Democrat, said people in this hemisphere were "watching this government turn its back on democracy .... The message is clear. This government will not stand up for a democratically elected head of state they do not like."
That isn't so! I lifted a finger to help. Wanna see which one? | Assistant Secretary of State Roger Noriega was the target of the grilling yesterday at a hearing of House International Relations subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere. Members of Congress wanted to know whether the United States was covertly involved in recent events that led Aristide to leave his country. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) said she and other legislators hope to find how much money was spent recently by the CIA and other U.S. agencies operating in Haiti.
Conspiracy thinkers unite!
She and Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) also demanded that Noriega produce proof Aristide himself composed the document which U.S. officials say is a letter of resignation. "Was the letter of resignation composed by - not just signed by - but composed by President Aristide?" Schakowsky asked Noriega.
even video of him hiding in his closet and writing it could be faked
"I assume he wrote it, dumbass" Noriega answered. On Monday, Aristide made phone calls to some members of Congress, saying he had been taken out of Haiti the day before against his will and forced by U.S. diplomats and Marines to sign the document. He has ended up, at least temporarily, in the Central African Republic.
Send his scheming, stealing, lying ass back to Haiti, watch how the people love him
Schakowsky said she had reason to doubt the official U.S. version of events in Haiti Saturday night. Schakowsky told Newsday in a telephone interview yesterday evening that she had spoken with Mildred Aristide, the presidentâs wife, at 6 p.m. Saturday, "and there was absolutely no hint that they were going to leave." "she never mentioned it, but asked me to open a checking account for her, as well as safe deposit box.... a big one"
"We are absolutely going to push for a full investigation," Schakowsky told Newsday.
and make crazy accusations and stomp our feet...nobodyâs paying attention to us!
