My serious guess as to what really happened is in the middle. My uneducated guess is that US military came to his palace and basically told Aristide that he was screwed. They would not be able to stop a full scale rebel assault, and that there would be a bloody fight even if they could. They told him he had a choice. Either most likely die in the violence, or pack up his crap and come with them. He chose to go with them, and then had buyer's remorse when he got out of dodge.

If this is how it happened, he needs to shut his piehole. They most likely saved his life.

My theory is that if we did indeed take him out at gunpoint, he'd still be in our custody, and not have access to a phone so he could whine at everyone who claims that he's called them and spewed this lie...

I think you are correct on that.

Now that he's out of danger, he's free to cause trouble for Bush in the African American community. He, no doubt, thought that we should have sent in massive forces to save his sorry behind and he's going to make Bush pay for not doing that.

This sounds like a probable scenario to me. I think the dims are pushing Aristide to stir up a stink.

I agree with you,he had a choice leave or die.I wish the basturd had stayed myself.

[Paradox]

I completely agree with your view of what happened. I was thinking that MAYBE, just maybe, Aristide misunderstood the Americans when they said there would be shooting and killing. Or, most likely, like a girl who cries RAPE after having consensual sex while drunk and doesn't want too look like a wh*re, he has changed his tune. It can't hurt him to do so, and might help his buddies in the US Government (democrats) to unseat the US President he probably hates.
