Aristide says U.S. deposed him in 'coup d'etat'
by w1ld at 10:38 pm EST, Mar 1, 2004 |
] Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide told CNN Monday
] he was forced to leave Haiti in a "coup d'etat" by the
] United States. "I was told that to avoid bloodshed I'd
] better leave," he said in an interview on CNN. The Bush
] administration vigorously denied earlier reports that
] Aristide was kidnapped by U.S. troops. So all those Haitian rebels are on the CIA bankroll? Right.........
Haitie is such a strategic country for the US to take over, you know.
Im sure that North Korea is shaking in there boots right now at
the coup d'etat that Bush pulled off in Haitie. |

Do i see a lot of strategic reason for the U.S. to have done so? No, not really, but he said it, so it deserves some attention. It's not some left wing blogger that's making the claim.
That being said, Aristide is considered by U.S. conservatives to be quite the buddy of U.S. left-liberals, and of course, the evil Bill Clinton supported Aristide by sending troops to Haiti, so i imagine the current administration takes a dim view of him and his policies -- wether it's a dim enough view to forcibly remove the man, i guess we'll see.
Or, given the fickle media environment we've got, maybe we won't. Lord of the Rings won 11 oscars you know! Pay no attention to the monkey in the white house. -k] |

GWB probably had Aristide ushered out because his KKK wizard wanted him to and also so that Cheney and Halliburton could corner the market on Haitian vodoo products. If we were going to pursue coups around the world, there are many more strategic places to do it than Haiti. Honestly, it's not that important nor does it have anything valuable to anyone who would care to exploit it. |

Not to mention the fact that this is the 2'nd time in a decade that Aristide has been forced from power (or did he forget that little detail?) the USA returned him to power LAST time. I guess he is just pissed off we didn't/wouldn't do it again. There was a coup indeed - it was by his own people tired of corruption, famine and poverty saying enough is enough. -LB |
