| UN Peacekeepers Blame Kerry for Haiti "Unrest" |
| 2004-10-17 |
| Damned nuanced of you, sKerry. The commander of the UN peacekeepers in Haiti has linked a recent upsurge in violence there to comments made by the US presidential candidate, John Kerry. Bwhahahahahaha Earlier this year Mr Kerry said that as president he would have sent American troops to protect Jean-Bertrand Aristide who was ousted from power in February. The Brazilian UN general, Augusto Heleno, said Mr Kerry's comments had offered "hope" to Aristide supporters. Much of the recent unrest has centred on areas loyal to Mr Aristide. Lessee - what other area/supporters does this remind us of? Might that be Iraq/Al-Q? More than 50 people have died over the past fortnight. "Fortnight" would be "2 weeks" for us illiterate 'merkin cowboys. Eight months ago the Bush administration withdrew all support for Mr Aristide and made it clear he should leave Haiti. John Kerry called that "short-sighted" and said he would have sent troops to protect Mr Aristide, who was an elected leader. Now General Heleno, says those comments have offered hope to Aristide's supporters that should Mr Kerry win the US election in November the former Haitian president might be restored to power. No, really? Ya' think? |

| #7 Is anyone farking suprised? Hanoi John (and Jane) gave aid and comfort and most of all encouragement to the North Vietmanese and VC during the vietnam war (In case you dont know they were the enemy...). This was during wartime. They (the north vietmanese and what was left of the VC) were seriously thinking about seeking peace but, because of John and Jane's antics (and those of the MSM) they continued their war, probably killed thousands more americans and countless South Vietmanese and (by extension) Cambodians. The North Vietmanese general even thanked John and Jane for their 'contribution'.... Now he is giving encouragement to the terrorists and enemies not only of the United States but the free world. Looks like he stepped up. This is just small-potatoes to Hanoi John.... |

| #6 Now, now. As I was telling my good friend JB the last time I was down the Kennedy compound, "Another gin and tonic, Jean-Bertrand...and a little lighter on the ice this time please?" Ah, he was a great free world leader... |

| #4 Hold on Heleno. The Chinese Rangers are a comin'. Ninety-five Chinese riot police, including 13 women, left Beijing for Haiti on Sunday, the first Chinese troops to be deployed to the Western Hemisphere. 95 riots: 95 rangers. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-10/17/content_383085.htm H/T to Drudge. |

| #3 "Sends mixed signals dopesn't it." I am not sure this sentence entirely "cuts it", Bill. "Sends mixed signals, dopey, 'sn't it." sounds better to me. |

| #1 You know what? Much as I dislike Kerry, until those f*ckers in Haiti produce a check signed by Kerry or the missus, they should STFU and go back to killing other Haitians. |
