I'm waiting for the first American casualty. For, when that happens, the very leftmedia shills who a week ago were screaming, "Why doesn't Bush send in the Marines and help these poor people?", will then change their tune to, "Oh my GOD -- it's a QUAGMIRE!".

Haitians taking justice into own hands It took an armed posse five days to track down Ti Roro. Once they did, Roro was beaten with sticks, taken to the morgue to identify his alleged victims, ringed with gasoline-soaked tires and burned alive.
"It took him more than an hour to die, but as he was burning, he admitted to all of the 15 people he killed in the last year," said Joubert Muraille, 41, who witnessed Wednesday's killing but said he did not participate. "He deserved it 1,000 times

That means the arms shipments are coming in at the other ports. Gonaives and Cap-Haitien would be my likely guesses.

I don't want you to be right about Haiti, but thanks for paying attention ~ and for the heads up.
My neighbor (who listens to mainstream news) now believes the only reason we didn't go to war in Haiti first was because they have no oil.

I meant Aristide, of course. ONCE AGAIN HAITIAN PRESIDENT JOHN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE may be ousted by his citizens, who began a new rebellion against his tyrannical rule on February 5. After Aristide was removed by a military coup in 1991, President Bill Clinton in 1994 sent 20,000 U.S. troops to Haiti to restore to power this former Roman Catholic Priest who once called Cuban dictator Fidel Castro his "greatest personal hero." Aristide endorsed "necklacing" of the kind widely practiced in South Africa by Winnie Mandela. It consists of seizing a victim, forcing an automobile tire filled with gasoline down over their head and shoulders, and then setting the tire and gasoline on fire. "What a beautiful tool!" It smells good. And wherever you go, you want to smell it," Aristide said of the necklacing of his critics on September 27, 1991, as witnessed and reported by Associated Press. Note the above date. Despite knowing of Aristide's penchant for necklacing critics, and despite knowing that a CIA psychological profile had identified Aristide as "a psychopath," Clinton three years later put at risk 20,000 of America's most elite troops to remove the Haitian government in order to re-install this murdering psychopath Jean-Bertrand Aristide as President of Haiti.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - U.S. forces have expanded their presence in Haiti beyond the capital, deploying to at least two cities that are rebel strongholds....
Troops from the U.S. Southern Command based in Miami arrived at Cap-Haitien, a key port on Haiti's northern coast, seized by rebels Feb. 22, and the western city of Gonaives, where the rebellion started Feb. 5...
The move came as police in those cities started trying to disarm rebels, although the U.S. military emphasized that disarmament was not part of its mandate in Haiti.
....Paul Arcelin, a former ambassador to the Dominican Republic who is close to rebel leader Guy Philippe, told The Associated Press on Friday that rebels would keep their weapons as long as Aristide militants stay armed, because "tomorrow they'll come here and kill us."

Godspeed!

I'm not waiting for any casualties, we have no business being there and I don't think the life of even one U.S. service member is worth losing over Haiti. The French screwed this place up a hundred years ago, let them fix it.

I wish no marine had ever gone there, except maybe to protect the embassy. Then Aritide would have died in the streets and we wouldn't have him whining right now. Listening to the things being said, I think this [B]is[/B] a quagmire.

Haiti - Bush's Kosovo. No reason to go in and no timeline of when we'll be getting out.

"Haiti - Bush's Kosovo. No reason to go in and no timeline of when we'll be getting out."
Reason #1 check out post #6. To the left is Cuba. To the right is Haiti. You'll also notice a major seaport for the US Navy known as Gitmo.
Reason #2 The seagate running between Cuba and Haiti is important. Imagine terrorists using the Haitian chaos as a staging point for their long expected naval terrorism. Bad enough we are guarding Gilbraltar, Malakan Straights, and elsewhere.
Reason #3 Velenzuela is ruled by Cuban puppet. Haiti being led by Commie Aristede is unacceptable.
Reason #4 Rebel leader was once head of Haiti's death squad which is unacceptable.
Reason #5 Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the DR. Chaos spilling over to the DR will excite pro-communist forces there. Another potential festering wound for terrorists to use. Hispaniola is only 100 miles from Florida.
Reason #6 It's politically expedient.
Reason #7 Things only the POTUS and his advisers know that we are not privy to know.

'Normalcy' in Haiti is a cesspool. This is a nation-building nightmare, a Caribbean tarbaby.
