US Lifts Arms Embargo On Haiti As Tensions Mount

Posted on Thursday, November 11 at 17:15 by 4Canada
The decision, which was confirmed by the State Department Tuesday, appears designed to begin supplying weapons to the 2,500-man police force which has carried out gun battles with militants loyal to ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was flown into exile aboard a U.S. Air Force jet earlier this year. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/1020-03.htm And this: Published on Wednesday, November 10, 2004 by CommonDreams.org Letter from a Haitian Jail by Fr.

    Yes, now they will give arms to the band of convicted rapists, murderers and drug runners that they have fashioned into the new TonTon Macoute/police force. Great, more mass murders, just what you need to install a USA style democracy.

    'Father' Aristide revealed that he was a thug soon after taking power in Haiti but he still manages to sucker people into believing him through populist anti-American left-leaning speechifying. Hmmmm, maybe he took notes from Jean Chretien...

    Don`t know much about Aristide, but there has to be a reason the US wanted him out and now are supplying weapons to a group of thugs.
