If he says he was forced out and a few congressman say the sam, where does that put Bush? In the driver's seat. The French government also encouraged Aristide to leave, which is why you hear silence from across the pond.
The truth is, the Marines were protecting his ass from murdering mobs. He signed a letter of resignation, and left of his own accord (the other choice was to stay and get killed).
The congressmen are members of the Black Caucus, and were likely getting kickbacks from Aristide, since they convinced Clinton to put him in office in the first place.
This is just a dictator, kicking up dust.

The black caucus has a rich history with dictators. Robert Mugabe, Charles Taylor, and now Aristide.

We saved this guy's a** and he is too cowardly to admit that he ran away. Aristide agreed to the rebel's conditions 100% which means he was not negotiating with them but surrendering to all their demands.
If he doesn't shut up we should arrange a flight back to town.
