I Can't See Any Reason Why We Shouldn't Have Military Bases in Saudi Arabia 4207

I Can't See Any Reason Why We Shouldn't Have Military Bases in Saudi Arabia 4208
Brent P With ill-advised outside encouragement. The sentiment should build up from the inside. When the time is right, the revolt will succeed. Which is a consequence of our government attempting to affect change...

I see so many conflictions, I can't make heads or tails of what you are trying to say, so I'm going to drop it.

In 1990.

They tried. Mbutt liquidate was the result. Bush the elder did not support the revolt by keeping SH's military out of the air. The revolt was crushed.

Paul I'll be more than happy too. :-D -- wisdom, love, and respect (spelling and grammatical errors left intact) Fork...

Which is why a dictator or monarch has to make sure to line the right pockets and enough of them. Keep people affraid. Kill anyone who could take power. Also control information and image. SH was very good at the gangster portion of the operation.

"Haitians knew, however, that Aristide would win any democratic election, and on 16 December 1990, he got 67 per cent of the vote in a field of 12 candidates. No run-off was required.

The United States might not have been able to prevent Aristide's landslide victory, but there was plenty they could do to undermine him. The most effective method, adopted by the first Bush administration, was to fund both the opposition - their poor showing at the polls was no reason, it appears, to cut off aid to them - and the military. Declbuttified records now make it clear that the CIA and other US groups helped to create and fund a paramilitary group called FRAPH, which rose to prominence after a military coup that ousted Aristide in September 1991.Thousands of civilians were end and hundreds of thousands fled overseas or across the border into the Dominican Republic. For the next three years Haiti was run by military-civilian juntas as ruthless as the Duvaliers.

In October 1994, under Clinton, the US military intervened and restored Aristide to power, with a little over a year of his term left to run. Although authorised by the UN, the restoration was basically a US operation. Then, seven weeks after Aristide's return, Republicans took control of the Congress, and influential Republicans have worked ever since to block aid to Haiti or burden it with preconditions."

The author doesn't really support any of it well, but I am not familiar with it enough to dispute it. I wonder why anyone in the US government would give a you know what either way.

I know. I also stated I don't know where this is coming from.

Starting in ~1997.

They didn't care. It's politics. Goal and excuse. WMD is an excuse, a sales tool.

My personal favorite is the alien technology reason :). But seriously, it's probably something more involved than we will know for at least decades.

DTJ You are aware, I hope, that the United States told Saudi Arabia (in 1991) that SH was mbutting troops on the Iraq-SA...

He has to get his cut or tribute. Government (in general, world wide) and organized crime function in similiar ways.

First we need a consbreastutional federal government. (not one in mere words with many consbreastutional work arounds)
