CNN had Maxine on the phone awhile ago--while Rumsfeld was still doing his press conference. She was ranting and giving all the details about this horrible "kidnapping" and imprisonment of the Arisitides. Gibberish.

Hole lot of 'splainin to do here.

Hole lot of Rats having wild hallucinations.

It amazes me that the media pays any attention to habitual, pathological liars. Oh well, they admire Hitlery, a congenital liar, (Safire?).

They all must smoke crack.

Blessings, Bobo

I would bet that every black member of Congress took kickbacks from Aristide

Haiti has been the major transshipment hub for South American dope for at least the last decade.

And I will never forget the expressions of delighted avarice when the CBC got their first invasion in 1993.

There's no doubt whatsoever that this is about dope payoffs.

Drudge is now linking to a Washington Post article quoting an AP release. It doesn't have much in it:


Administration Denies Aristide Kidnapped

By DEB RIECHMANN
The Associated Press
Monday, March 1, 2004; 1:58 PM


WASHINGTON - The White House and Pentagon on Monday dismissed allegations that Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was kidnapped by U.S. forces eager for him to resign and flee into exile.

With U.S. military forces already on the ground in the Caribbean nation and more on the way, chief presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said, "It's nonsense, and conspiracy theories do nothing to help the Haitian people move forward to a better more free, more prosperous future."

At the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld also vehemently denied that Aristide had been forced out by the United States.

McClellan told reporters that Aristide left on his own free will. "We took steps to protect Mr. Aristide and his family so they would not be harmed as they departed Haiti," he said.

Outside of Harold Ford, I don't know of one single black member of Congress who is not corrupt. I think the CBC is scared to death today about potential scandal.

I’ve heard that Aristide was a mad man. This sounds like what one would expect from him and his lawyers.

If Harold Ford is anything like his father and uncle, he's as crooked as the day is long.

Gee, it sure would be terrible if some documents were found at the presidential palace implicating the CBC, wouldn't it?

GWB Team need to put out these kinds of rumor fires fast(er).

I disagree. Let our enemies believe we have the stomach to remove any government we choose.

I don't believe the rumor is true, but it may be useful.

This woman will make the rounds of every network that will listen to her. Sadly, there will be those who hear her screeching and little else. I was surprised that CNN gave her so much face time today.

That won't be enough for the lamestream press. This is like the Bush AWOL fiasco all over again. They'll keep digging and digging until they're satisfied.

U.S. denies allegation that it kidnapped Aristide
http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/0304/01haiti.html

"Randall Robinson, former president of TransAfrica, a Washington-based group that monitors U.S. policy toward Africa and the Caribbean and supported Aristide, told CNN that the former Haitian president claimed he was abducted from Haiti by U.S. troops who accompanied him on a flight to the Central African Republic."


Amazing.

An African-American activist

Activist? Why doesn't the media call these activist what they are.......Most, if not all the blacks in the House belong to DSA. They are socialist, pure and simple.

Screaming Waters just happens to have the biggest, loudest and ugliest mouth of the lot.

Their goal is to destroy this country.Their chant is DSA not USA.
