This is a planned attack/Lie from Maxine Waters (D)California.

And the media dutifully reported as usual

The Democrats have LOST THIER MINDS!!

W drives them CRAZY for some reason, this is going to be the UGLYEST Election ever!! The race card will come out soon

[cripplecreek]

It's a stupid conspiracy theory. A little reasoned though shows this to be an idiotic claim. We could have simply done nothing and let the rebels remove him from power their way. (machete sounds likely)

[WarrenC]

But the Haitians want Aristide gone, right? So if he was physically removed by U.S. Marines, that's just what the Maxine Waters types have been wanting, right?

Sounds like effective problem management to me.

Ah, I get it - it was too effective -- not enough bloodshed to blame on the president.

[lilylangtree]

Too bad Aristide's people didn't kidnap him, put him on a flight, and shove him out the plane 40,000 feet without a parachute. Too bad Mugabe's people don't do Mugabe the same way. That would be two 3rd world countries with real cause for celebration.

[onedoug]

We should've taken back some his stolen US tax money in the process.

[discostu]

Who cares if he was kidnapped. Aristide is a big POS and we never should have propped him up in the first place. Since we put him back it was our right to take him back out again.

[anniegetyourgun]

Powell, Rummy, et al have just called Maxine a liar. And I believe them.

[bobo1]

I think that the administration is doing wrong is their response.

The ought to say without equivocation that Maxine Waters is a lying piece of donkey dung. That she is either on crack, or suffering severe unexplainable hallucinations.

The Pub's use kid gloves too often. I think that they ought to take them off and slap these idiots silly.

blessings, Bobo

[BigSkyFreeper]

The race card will come out soon

Maxine Waters' statement shows it already has.

[visagoth]

If Aristide has been 'kidnapped' - how is it that he able to use a cell phone and call all these people?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Aristide should be glad the US Marines got to him first, because I can guarantee you that if the rebels had reached him first, he wouldn't be alive today.

I like this excerpt from the WSJ Opinion Journal - Best of the Web

Kerry was also asked about the situation in Haiti, where the Bush administration ended a crisis yesterday by forcing the resignation of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who illegitimately held on to power after his elected term ended. Here's the exchange between Kerry and Dan Rather:

Rather: Senator Kerry, President Bush has made it clear that the United States will be part of an international force going to Haiti. You've been critical of that action. Tell me what your beef is with what the president is doing.

Kerry: He's late, as usual. This president always makes decisions late after things have happened that could have been different had the president made a different decision earlier.

Bumiller: Senator Kerry, what would you have done in this situation?

Kerry: Well, first of all, I never would have allowed it to get out of control the way it did.

The New York Daily News reports that Kerry told the paper's editorial board, "I would intervene with the international community, and absent an international force, I'd do it unilaterally." This is in contrast to the Bush administration's multilateral approach; last night the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved Resolution 1529, authorizing an international force, including Americans and Frenchmen, to keep the peace in Haiti.

Now, this is the same John Kerry who has spent the past year carping about President Bush's "failed diplomacy" and "rush to war" in Iraq. Now suddenly in Haiti he's Mr. Unilateral Pre-emption.

[Kaslin]

Rush was talking about this on his show today, and he said he just watched the video of Aristide getting off the plane smiling and waving to the crowd. If he had been kidnapped he would have not smiled. These morons just lie and it's not surprising

[Brilliant]

We should send Powell to be the governor of Haiti. They can't run their own country, and the Dems insist that we do it for them.

[BJungNan]

This one is too easy. Simply offer him a plane ride back. "Sorry Mr. Aristide, we thought you wanted to leave. We have a jet waiting for you - Destination: Haiti. Will you have a car waiting or should we drive you back to your palace?"

[BJungNan]

And the media dutifully reported as usual
The Democrats have LOST THIER MINDS!!

It is absolutely childish of any major news media to take such allegations seriously and report them.

This is akin to (elementary) school yard style reporting and regurgitating of the Dem's charge that the "Republicans wanted to starve children."
