KERRY IN HAITI
| Tweet |
The U.N. blames John Kerry for the deaths of 50 Haitians. The BBC reports:
The commander of the UN peacekeepers in Haiti has linked a recent upsurge in violence there to comments made by the US presidential candidate, John Kerry.
Earlier this year Mr Kerry said that as president he would have sent American troops to protect Jean-Bertrand Aristide who was ousted from power in February.
The Brazilian UN general, Augusto Heleno, said Mr Kerry’s comments had offered “hope” to Aristide supporters. Much of the recent unrest has centred on areas loyal to Mr Aristide.
More than 50 people have died over the past fortnight…
Mary Anastasia O’Grady forecast this violence and skewered Kerry’s positions on Haiti and Iraq here. Excerpt:
John Kerry has now decided, retrospectively, that he would not have gone to war to remove Saddam Hussein. But he would have put U.S. troops in harm’s way to shield Haitian strongman Jean Bertrand Aristide from a revolt of his own people in February. “I would have been prepared to send troops immediately, period,” Mr. Kerry told the New York Times on March 4.
This assertion from the would-be commander in chief seems to have had some unfortunate repercussions. Emboldened by a prominent champion in the U.S., the deposed Aristide’s Lavalas Party thugs are committing mayhem again…
Tim Blair and Robert Tagorda made similar notes this spring. A chronicle of the Aristide corruptocracy is here.
Kerry’s Haiti policy may not pass his own global test, but dictator-luvin’ Ramsey Clark approves!
