Aristide loyalists retake city
It ain't over yet.

FORCES loyal to Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide today forcefully retook the southern city
of Cayes, the third largest in Haiti, which had fallen to the rebels yesterday, police said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the city of 125,000, located 200km from the Haitian
capital Port-au-Prince.

1. Argentina to the rescue.
They've got balls, standing up to the CIA.

Don't cry for me, Port-au-Prince.

4. You are so right.
Wrong oil producer. It's been a long week. That negates the Andrew Lloyd Webber quote.

Whoever they are, they have courage.

6. I just wish Hugo Chavez had a bigger army

I can think of at least one large country in the hood that has a real bad problem with terrorist thugs thwarting Democracy...
