US President George Bush says he has deployed US Marines to be the "leading element" in an international force to be sent to help stabilise Haiti.
Early on Sunday, Haiti's President Jean-Bertrand Aristide flew out of the country in an unmarked jet, following a three-week rebellion against him.

There have been celebrations in parts of the country, but near-anarchy has descended on the capital.

Mr Bush said the marines would help "bring order and stability to Haiti".

Oh well, yet another notch on Bush's bedpost - how many wars is that in four years as Da Prez.................? I really hope they can manage a more stable and less corrupt go at the elections this year.
