Guy Philipe announced: "I'm not taking any pressure from anyone, only from the Haitian people." In an ill-tempered victory press conference, he declared himself "military chief", "commandant general", head of the resistance and, at one point, simply "the chief".

When Mr. Philipe gets out in front of his armed thugs and leads a charge on the Marines, I will take him seriously enough to send flowers to his services. As it is he seems to be ranting against the "whites" just like some of our leaders do and for the same reasons.

That's not what guerrillas do. They plant mines.

All Phillipe needs to do is lift his finger from the deadmans switch, and you'll get much worse than suicidal charges against the Marines.
