WASHINGTON - The Bush administration rejected on Tuesday bids for power in Haiti by rebels and insisted they lay down their arms and return to their homes.

There is a political process under way to pick up after the departure of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and "the rebels do not have a role in this process," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said.

Roger Noriega, the assistant secretary of state for the region, said of Philippe: "He is not in control of anything but a ragtag band of people."

"It was Aristide's failed government that empowered armed gangs to control the country," McClellan said. "It was a failed government that condoned official corruption, including drug trafficking. it was a failed government that engaged in acts of political violence against a peaceful democratic opposition."

The spokesman declined to say what evidence the administration has to support his claim that Aristide's government condoned drug trafficking

2. The UN, citizens of Haiti and the concerned

countries of the Southern hemisphere should be helping to make decisions concerning Haiti. Bushco arrogantly continues it's agenda of world political domination.
