| Aristide: ’I WAS KIDNAPPED’ |
| 2004-03-01 |
| From the files of Democracy Now!: Multiple sources that just spoke with Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide told Democracy Now! that Aristide says he was "kidnapped" and taken by force to the Central African Republic. Multiple sources = Larry, Moe and Curly. Congressmember Maxine Waters said she received a call from Aristide at 9am EST. "He’s surrounded by military. It’s like he is in jail, he said. He says he was kidnapped," said Waters. We always let the people we kidnap make phone calls. She said he had been threatened by what he called US diplomats. Threatening diplomats? Sure they’re ours? According to Waters, the diplomats reportedly told the Haitian president that if he did not leave Haiti, paramilitary leader Guy Philippe would storm the palace and Aristide would be killed. Fred, is that where you went this weekend? According to Waters, Aristide was told by the US that they were withdrawing Aristide’s US security. What happened was his private contract security guards called the US Embassy and asked if they could get military help if rebels stormed the palace. We said no. I’m sure they told Aristide that he was screwed. TransAfrica founder and Sure he did. |

| #12 I think all left-leaning assholes are assholes. They lie a lot and they never tell the truth. They are commies and they should join the communist party. Shouldn't they? Huh? Shouldn't they? |

| #11 Wonder if they'd get this worked up if Aristide had been a card-carrying capitalist? I'd be more than happy to watch JB get dropped off in the center of Port Au Prince. Maybe we can get Kerosene Maxine and Reparations Randall to go along for moral support.... |

| #8 Rumsfeld supposedly has a resignation that Aristide signed. |

| #7 Just to prove to Maxine, the Marxist, and all other doubters that Aristide was not kidnapped, bring him back to Haiti and deposit him on a street corner in downtown Cap-Haitien. |

| #5 Bear with me. The truth is relative to the listener. The same stragegy we've been using for a few other forigen leaders. We saved his job in the 90's, he's ours. His performance as employee was unsatisfactory and he broke company policy. We layed him off in '04, Aristide. Of all the other methods we have for this senerio, it's rather humane. Caveat: 1) How trusty worthy are the new employees? 2) Is GUY loyal? Did the US teach him right in Ecuador? His wife's from Wisconnsin...hmm? Is that good or bad? Solution: There are a few countries that this will work, hopefully Haiti is one of them. I have faith for peace, but just as in the 90's, this will not be the last time we intervien, unless island thugs, southern hemisphere kingpins, local gangs are forced to keep Haiti's elections clean in the first place. |

| #4 Now the Brits handle this sort of thing differently. The plane landed from London and an SAS officer, two burly noncoms and the Crown Prince of Oman got out. They got into an embassy car and drove to the Palace. All went in. A short time later, out comes the officer, the noncoms each with a hand on the elbow of the Emir, get into the car and off to the airport. Fly back to London, and Oman can now have running water and sewers. |

| #3 DEMOCRACY NOW is -- like the Congressional Black[guard] Caucus -- an extreme left-wing, America-hating, anti-democratic group of reactionaries. As far as I am concerned, have the State Department return Aristide to Haiti. Let the US dominant left-wing media video Aristide being turned to hamburger meat by the rabid mob. |

| #2 Is it me or does Maxine remind you of Claire of the UK? Both talk out of their ass and make WILD accusations. Note to Maxine: When you find yourself parroting and believing dictators, it’s time to retire. Also how close does Randall Robinson act and sound like Randall Flagg (from ‘The Stand’)? My imagination is just wondering today! |

| #1 Well, now, if Maxine "Burn, Baby, Burn!" Waters and Randall "Reparations" Robinson say it's true, then it must be true. Right? |
