#1 There is much in the news right now that Aristide claims he was forced to resign and then was kidnapped. Remember that on Feb. 19 Aristide declared that he was "ready to die" to defend his country. So the ruse being offered today is intended to absolve him of cowardice and deserting his followers. He resigned and left the country to save his skin.

#2 Well, if he says we kidnapped him and his resignation is a sham, why not just send him back?

#4 Philippe has said that he has no political aspirations but but calls for the reestablishment of death squads.

Let's build a second wing to our Cuban hotel to house all the idiots that promote unrest. I'm sure the Haitian people have had enough.

#5 Aristide was put in contact with The Associated Press by the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Monday...

All right! Him and Reverend Al in a Civil Rights Catfight!
"He's MY despot!"
"No! He's MY despot!"

#6 #2 I agree Ben. Yesterday, in comment on his 'kidnap' claim, I suggested:bring him back to Haiti and deposit him on a street corner in downtown Cap-Haitien.

#7 Ben--My sentiments exactly. When I heard that B.S. yesterday, I thought we should send him back on a C-130 and kick his ass out as it taxied down the runway, then turn around and fly right back out.

"Welcome home, d**khead!"

#8 I thought we should send him back on a C-130 and kick his ass out as it taxied down the runway
Why waste the money on landing fees, when you can dump him out at 500 feet at 300 knots and save the entire world some trouble? Also, let's get Jesse and Rev Al to hold his hands as he goes off the back ramp...

#9 Hell, it's not gonna matter what we do. Short of divine intervention this half of Hispanola is doomed.
