Things that make you go "humn":
1. I remember reading a while ago that 900 US troops are and have been stationed on the Haitian border on a rotating basis for at least a year. Were they there when the Haitian "commandos" crossed into Haiti to drive out Aristide? Were they there when these Haitian rebels acquired their guns, uniforms, flack jackets and training on the Dominican side of the border?
2. Are we really to believe that the DR air force evacuated foreigners from its embassy in Port-au-Prince - operating numerous missions over a period of a week? Where were the choppers serviced and fueled? Who were the pilots? Inquiring minds want to know.
3. Is it not odd that the rebels were armed with M-16s but without the ubiquitous RPGs that any rebel army worth its salt would have? Was this because the CIA has learned that the really nasty weapons can sometimes end up being used against Americans?
4. All of that said, does anyone have an idea why the US cared one iota about ousting Aristide? He wasn't Bush's house ni--ger like Hipolito (and what a wonderful "get out of jail free" card being Bush's house ni--ger appears to be), but he wasn't buddy-buddy with Castro/Chavez either. I think only history may tell.
