If the Haiti policy doesn't go well, the Administration will revert to the story it had already begun retailing on "deep background" before the deal was even struck. In that scenario Jimmy Carter exceeded his brief from the start. If the President rejected Carter's deal, the former President would complain that Clinton had refused an agreement that promised a peaceful occupation.
