Soldiers React As Haiti Invasion Delayed For Peace Deal
In the Bahamas a large force prepared for a Haiti invasion due to start at 12:01 a.m. under a full moon. After President Clinton announced a peace agreement, thousands of U.S. soldiers returned to barracks awaiting new orders, and some officers watched news while pilots remained on standby. The delay shifted plans toward an administrative landing and a potentially scaled-down mission while diplomats and military leaders evaluated the accord. The countdown had reached near launch, with paratroopers en route and large forces poised for Cap Haitien and Jeremie, then paused as negotiations continued.
