Another artifact left over from The Decade of Fraud(s), Haiti's worsening situation is under-reported and little commented upon.

[ambrose]

That scumbag traitor Clinton left pile of crap behind, didn't he... recession, 9/11.. now even this.

[Chi-townChief]

Be interesting to hear comments from the Clintons, Carter, or the Congressional Black Circus who all pushed for installing Aristide back in '94.

[leadpenny]

Good job of putting this thread together. Since Randall Robinson was a prime mover behind clinton's 94 venture into Haiti, here's one more: Randall Robinson: Smooth Talking Racist

In discussing the modern world, Robinson claims, “only white countries are capable of killing so many (people) at one time,” but fails to mention the horrible 1994 Hutu massacre of close to one million Tutsi in Rwanda. He also praises Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide as “a passionate democrat” and “one of the finest human beings I have ever known” but says not one word about his corruption and widespread human rights violations. And these are but a few representative examples of his tainted historiography. Robinson is no friend of truth.

Descending into chaos?
Hell, chaos would be an improvement over the conditions in Haiti...

Another Clinton/Carter/Black Caucus "success story"...

Semper Fi

[monocle]

If I recall correctly, didn't Gore cite Haiti as an example of Clinton's foreign policy. If Haiti is a measure of Clinton's acumen in foreign affairs, what damage would he do if he is appointed as special ambassador to the Mideast as some Democratic hopefuls have proposed?

[G.Mason]

This must be a figment of someone's imagination.

"When ticking off his foreign policy accomplishments, President Clinton always has listed "restored democracy to Haiti," at or near the top.... He invaded that tiny country on Sept. 19, 1994, to force defrocked priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide back on his people."

You see? Clintoon fixed Haiti.

Well, you take this here voodoo doll, and you stick these here hat pins in it, and then .......

[angkor]

In the past 10 years - even during and after the invasion - Haiti has never lost its status as the primary Caribbean transshipment point for Columbian drug smugglers. If anything, its status has grown, and the Ariste government is up to its ears in it.
