Yahoo! News - Haiti Rebels Warn of Imminent Attack on Capital
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (Reuters) - Rebels battling to oust Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide said on Thursday an attack on the capital was imminent and the United States urged Aristide to consider whether he should stay in power.

Secretary of State Colin Powell urged Aristide to "examine" whether he could effectively rule, the first time the United States had questioned his ability to remain in charge.

"I think, as a number of people have commented, whether or not he is able to effectively continue as president is something he will have to examine," said Powell. "I hope he will examine it carefully considering the interests of the Haitian people."

Perhaps we should ask George the same question. (hee hee)

Give it up Jean. This could get very ugly.
