"Haiti,a country he discovered just last week!"LOL

Who do Kerry, Rangel and Waters trust? Do they trust our Secretary of State,an American hero,Colin Powell? Of course not,they choose to trust a man involved with thugs,necklacing and the plunder of Haiti.

The Kerry doctrine ***Keep in mind that Kerry voted against the use of force to dislodge Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. When a dictator invades a neighbor, seizes strategic oil fields and consolidates his position as the region's No. 1 flaming carbuncle, Kerry rejects a multilateral response. Ragtag rebels in a perpetually dysfunctional state threaten a U.S.-installed incompetent, and Kerry sends in the Marines.

But Kerry's not alone. Haiti has a way of making people say odd things. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., and members of the Congressional Black Caucus said they believed Jean-Bertrand Aristide had been pushed out by George W. Bush.

"Unlike the reports coming out of the State Department," Rangel said, "President Aristide says it was a coup, that he felt he was kidnapped, that he was told by the United States authority that they could no longer protect his life." Hmmm. The United States offers him an armed guard to replace his own armed guard, which ran off to whoop and loot, and it's a coup. It's kidnapping.

Since when is it the United States' responsibility to safeguard Aristide from the consequences of incompetence?

Today the State Department may be stuffed with liars, but put President Kerry in office, and Rangel will suddenly find them an unimpeachable source of intel. Put President Kerry in office, and we'll combine the self-castigating ethos of the Vietnam era with the meals-on-wheels nation-building of the '90s. ****
