Says the Washington Times: [1]
MONROVIA, Liberia — Charles Taylor, the warlord who brought 14 years of death and destruction to Liberia, yielded the presidency yesterday under pressure from rebels, the United States and West African neighbors — but not before vowing, “I will be back.”
Mr. Taylor surrendered power to his vice president as rebels lay siege to the capital, and then flew into exile in Nigeria.
Three U.S. warships briefly sailed into view off Monrovia within minutes of Mr. Taylor’s ceding power to his vice president, Moses Blah.
Glad to see the Bastard leave. One more place Terrorists won’t hide…. and the people THERE will have some peace at last. Thank you, Mr. Bush.
