Calling his ouster a "coup d'etat" by the United States, Mr. Aristide said, "I was told that to avoid bloodshed I'd better leave." The soldiers who came to get him, he said, were "white American, white military."

It's just Jean-Bertrand Aristide's way of saying "THANK YOU fella's for saving my life".

This stuff about him being forced out by the US....I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Clinton put him up to this fabrication. It sounds like something Clinton would make up.

Well we could send a C-17 to Africa to pick him up. We could the drop him off by parachute right into the hands of his opposition. I bet he'd like that.

what a nutcase.

No, he's NOT. The American troops allied with Martians landed from a flying saucer and transported him to Central Africa using mind waves.......
