Ja: Patterson's seeing the thing in broad daylight

So why does he want to wait to light candle in the night? Yet, that is precisely what PM Patterson is about. He knows that Aristide will cause problems, yet that will not cause Patterson to withdraw his invite to Aristide. Patterson seems to be depending on the goodwill that Aristide lacks. I suspect that the government of Bangui must have politely asked Aristide to leave because he would not shut up. Thus, because of his wild accusations of being kidnapped by the U.S. and his indifference to the political concerns of his host, he proved to be an embarrassment to Bangui.

Jamaica has warned ousted Haitian president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, that he won't be allowed to use Jamaica as a "launching pad" to regain power in his country.

But the government's decision to host Aristide for up to 10 weeks has raised concerns in Port-au-Prince and appeared yesterday to place in the balance a visit to Kingston by Haiti's interim prime minister, Gerard Latortue, to lobby for his government's recognition by the Caribbean Community (Caricom).

Aristide would be able to communicate freely, Knight said, "so long as this is not an attempt to use Jamaica as a launching pad for his desired reinstatement".

At the same time, Patterson signalled Jamaica's and Caricom's acceptance of the changed situation on the ground in Haiti, referring to Aristide as the former president, acknowledging that a new president had been sworn-in and that Latortue was a man who commanded respect.

Caricom's insistence on taking Aristide's absurd claims to the UN will prove to be their undoing because Aristide will milk them for all they're worth. However, there are signs that Caricom will jettison the unstable Aristide for Latortue, the new Haitian prime minister.
