Don't forget the blustering of the staggering asshole himself, Will Pitt.
His anecdote was called into question before long, and Pitt descends into this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5705768&mesg_id=5709832
I've checked into it somewhat, but the rest is out there waiting for the world-famous William Rivers Pitt to put-up or shut-up.
As I remember it, one of former Pres. Clinton's forays into foreign policy was the bungled affair in Haiti. In 1994. Some asshat, Raoul Cedras finagled a million or so dollars from American taxpayers on threat of invasion by the Clinton/Les Aspin Dept. of Defense. Clinton/Aspin ponied up, and there was no invasion.
Will Pitt maintains that "Ty" was wounded in action in the liberation of Haiti, in Sept., 1994. Under President Clinton.
As I recall it, some American warships stood off-shore, Clinton's media blustered, and when all was said and done, Clinton retreated from exercising any control what-so-ever.
As casualties are a matter of public record, such records should exist of the illusory "Ty", wounded in battle, storming the beaches of Haiti in 1994.
If I'm ill-informed on the subject, I'd be willing to read some links. But Will Pitt's story stinks.
The public records on the web regarding that specific operation aren't easy to find, unless some fellow FReepers can supply some context/guidance.
The odds are increasing that Pitt is going to have to put-up AND pay-up.
It'd be sweet if PJ can confront the alleged journalist with confirmations and corrections and collections...
I clicked the link you posted but noting comes up.
