John Kerry has now decided, retrospectively, that he would not have gone to war to remove Saddam Hussein. But he would have put U.S. troops in harm's way to shield Haitian strongman Jean Bertrand Aristide from a revolt of his own people in February. "I would have been prepared to send troops immediately, period," Mr. Kerry told the New York Times on March 4.
This assertion from the would-be commander in chief seems to have had some unfortunate repercussions. Emboldened by a prominent champion in the U.S., the deposed Aristide's Lavalas Party thugs are committing mayhem again....
The opportunistic brutality included the beheading of three Haitian policemen....
Mr. Kerry's has also ignored the suspected corruption under Mr. Aristide. An allegation filed in May in a New Jersey U.S. district court alleges that a deal with a large U.S. telecom company enabled Mr. Aristide to personally enrich himself at the expense of his destitute people. The complaint describes in rich detail the methods through which, according to the plaintiff, Mr. Kerry's beloved "democratic" Aristide regime pillaged the country, a nation populated mostly by defenseless, vulnerable peasants....
...The U.S. Treasury has a staff in Haiti right now giving technical advice to the Haitian government. It would be good if that includes investigating what all did go on at Teleco Haiti. A full report that clears up once and for all the truth about what happened under Aristide control may go a long way toward establishing the moral authority of the new government.
It might also stop John Kerry from using desperately poor Haiti as a weapon against his Washington opponents and instead put him on a more constructive path for helping a suffering people.

Kerry once again, proving he's a nit-wit.
Aristide was the one who Clinton sent in the marines to overthrough and re-install this lunatic, even though the CIA told clinton that the guy was a nut case, and that Haiti had a legitimate, pro- American legal government.
None the less, Clinton stuck him back in, and the revolt was the result.
Kerry would stick that idiot, who likes putting a car tire around a persons shoulders, dowsing it with gas and lighting it on fire, saying he loved the smell.
Clinton and Hillary are known to have indulged in a bit of Voo-doo rituals themselves, which Aristide, once a Christian, had reverted to.
Kerry one again, showing us he knows nothing about anything.
He, to the contrary, is playing a pied piper tune for the Black Caucus. Remember that one of Clinton's first actions was to force the U.S. military to invate Haiti and restore Aristide. So we will stop defending this nation against Islamofascism and utilize our wonderful men and women in the armed forces to restore and sustain a Communist/terrorist in Haiti. And the Democrats will be in ecstasy.
Liberalism is a self-destructing self-defeating idea born from the need to cover up prejudices held by many, and faced by few. This means that you must use reverse logic to come to a "just" conclusion. It never works, but it makes liberals feel better about themselves.
Kerry is the Hollow Man.
HMMM. Does Teleco hve anything to do with this?

Immediately after the Clinton invasion, in 1994, Hugh Rodham made a fortune shipping cars to Haiti, duty free. Aristide's hand was in this. - unknown
