- "Conditions in Haiti are little better than they might be if the U.S. had done absolutely nothing. Clinton's adventure amounts to a colossal waste of time, money (almost $3 billion in defense dollars better spent elsewhere), and effort." (Richmond Times-Dispatch, 12/28/95)
- "U.S. combat troops were quietly sent to Haiti last week in part to avert assassination attempts against Haitian political leaders before the U.S. elections, the Miami Herald reported on Friday."(Reuters, 8/2/96)

Actually, if Xlintoon had done nothing, there would be a relatively benign Military dictatorship for a while, followed by a transition to a Republican form of government. Not something that Leftist Communist Thugs like Xlintoon wanted.
