| US troops ’made Aristide leave’ |
| 2004-02-29 |
| HAITIAN leader Jean Bertrand Aristide was taken away from his home by US soldiers, it was claimed today. Thank goodness somebody showed some sense. A man who said he was a caretaker for the now exiled president told France’s RTL radio station the troops forced Aristide out. "The American army came to take him away at two in the morning," the man said. "The Americans forced him out with weapons. It was American soldiers. They came with a helicopter and they took the security guards. (Aristide) was not happy. He did not want to be taken away. He did not want to leave. He was not able to fight against the Americans." That was the point. The RTL journalist who carried out the interview described the man as a "frightened old man, crouched in a corner" who said he was the "caretaker of the residence". You might want to amscray for a while, old man. |

| #4 It's just as likely US troops were to ensure his safety when he left. |

| #3 When did we get UN approval for removing Aristide? Or is that only required when the dictator is pumping oil money into the pockets of leftist twits? |
