Over now.

5. Damn/ Over already

In a nutshell, Aristide said that he was forced out by US military and embassy. His security guards were told to stand down by US forces, and they did. US gov prevented more security from being flown in. He said that the translated resignation that CNN was peddling was a fake and not an accurate translation of his resignation in Creole, in which he stated that he was forced out.

6. More humble foreign policy

from the Uniter, who doesn't engage in nation-building.

Does Bush ever tell the truth?

8. He correctly states his name. After that, it's all lies.

[htuttle]

10. Nope

His middle name is actually Wilbur.

:evilgrin:

11. Why?

Simple question--we expect an answer.

Bookmarking as the clock ticks away...

[DrWeird]

13. Oh! So you were there!

Why don't you fill us in on what actually happened?

[MrMonk]

15. Post #8 refers to Bush lying, not Aristide.

The intention becomes quite clear when one actually reads the thread.

7. What I don't understand is why there was no interpretor?

Arstide's English was so halting. Why is there no one to speak to him in his native Haitian language? That way, I think we would get the real story a lot clearer. It's really difficult to understand him and what he is trying to say is not coming across.

[htuttle]

9. Personally...

I'd rather hear it right from him!

12. F-ing CNN kept playing loops of footage w/sound during phone call

F-ing CNN kept playing loops of footage w/sound during phone call making it even harder to hear what Aristide was saying.

:mad: :Bastards!!!:

14. on BBC news page right now this is what scrolls across the top

"LATEST: Haiti's Aristide tells CNN he was deposed in a coup by the US. More soon"

followed by

"White House slams "absurd" claims that US troops kidnapped Aristide. "


LOL
