"I Am the Chief. My Hero is Pinochet"
Guy's Our Guy
By JACK McCARTHY

"I am the chief," said so-called "rebel leader" Guy Phillipe.

The U.S.'s guy, Guy, made the statement in the context of announcing a mere two days after the transparent U.S.-led coup of President Aristide, that not only was he not going away, but he planned to "reconstitute" the same Haitian miltiary disbanded by Aristide.

But then, our guy Guy says lots of interesting things.

In the Miami Herald for Feb 8th our guy Guy told reporter Susan Nesmith of his two heroes.

"The man he admires most is former Chilean dictator Gen. Auguost pinochet."

"Pinochet made Chile what it is," elaborates our guy Guy.

The man the U.S. press has up to now been portraying as the savior of Haiti from the depredations of that weirdo and drug kingpin (the Herald has routinely quoted unnamed U.S. officials implying as much) and only elected President ever of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide, is also an admirer of another Pinochet fan.

"No 2 on his (most admired) list former U.S. Prsident Ronald Reagan," writes Nesmith.

Like our guy Pinochet, who made it clear Chile would tolerate no more Allendes, our guy Guy told Nesmith, "We're not going to let the country have another Aristide."
