>Q. I have a question regarding Haiti.


>THE PRESIDENT: Sure.


>Q. We do a unique thing at our school. We have two
>teachers who take students overseas. One goes to the
Netherlands, and the other one goes to Haiti on active
>learning field trips. My question to you is, how long
>do you predict that our troops will remain in Haiti?
>And two, what is the United States doing to help with
>the economic condition in Haiti?


THE PRESIDENT: Thanks. Great question. Our troops will
stay there as -- until the United Nations peacekeepers
>will move in, which we hope is relatively quickly. In
>other words, we moved in with the Canadians and the
>French to provide stability. The United Nations will
>be moving peacekeepers in to make sure that the
>current government has a chance to bring a rule of
>law and democracy to bear in Haiti.

>In terms of helping Haiti, we’ve got a robust aid
>package. The problem is you want to make sure the aid
>package gets spent properly. And, therefore, it’s
>important to have a stable government. We’re also
>helping a lot with HIV/AIDS in Haiti.

Question:
Does King George W. imply that, in spite of the
presence of more than 3000 US troops in Haiti, the
actual de facto government from Boca Raton is "unstable"?
