Morales to DEA: "Get Out"

[Lord Consul]

Bolivia's leftist President Evo Morales accused U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents of spying Saturday and barred them from fighting cocaine traffickers in the Andean country until further notice.

"There were DEA agents who worked to conduct political espionage and to fund criminal groups so they could launch attacks on the lives of authorities, if not the president," Mr. Morales said.

Mr. Morales accused the DEA of maintaining ties with anti-government groups that in September staged violent protests in eastern and central regions governed by the opposition. He said the organization's actions amounted to "conspiracy."

"This is a personal decision. From now on, the DEA is not allowed to act in the country until further notice," said Mr. Morales, who stopped short of expelling DEA agents.

[…]

Relations between the two nations were upset in September when Mr. Morales expelled the U.S. ambassador, after accusing him of meddling. The U.S. State Department then ejected the Bolivian envoy, calling Mr. Morales' action a grave error, and said it was the first time in three decades a U.S. envoy was declared "persona non grata" anywhere in the world.

[…]

Mr. Morales built his political career as a leader of Bolivia's coca growers and wants to develop legal markets for coca leaves while fighting the cocaine trade.
The coca leaf is the main ingredient for cocaine, but it is also widely used by Bolivian Indians, who chew it for its medicinal and nutritional properties.

And there's more...

Yesterday, Morales declared at the Ibero-American summit (which Chavez did not attend, probably fearing he would be told to shut up once more by the Spanish king) that "he would be willing to work with a new American administration".

You guys got the message... You'd better elect Obama or else...

If you cant trust a DEA agent, who can you trust eh? I wish i was DEA, i'd be so high and rich right now.

QFT and LMAO

I guess he has a point.

Better bar the DEA from his country until you have someone with a drug history in the whitehouse...just a few more days until Morales' dream is realized.

Who are you to tell people whom to vote for??

You grasp at these incidents that always occur throughout history and attempt to use them for your own screwy and egotistical purposes.

Morales and Chavez both have problems in their own countries amongst their own citizens because many of their citizesn do not agree with many of their policies.

As usual, anything is being grasped at here in this forum simply to try and sway people to another person's personal views, which views mean not anything and affect not anything.

It seems that some people think that if Obama is elected the world is going to miraculously become as they personally wish it to become, and that won't happen and never has. Typical extreme left-wing nonsense that is the same as extreme right-wing nonsense.

So, do people here that are from the USA tell you who to vote for?? The answer is no and you should not be so crass and naieve to do so and to think that you are affecting anyone as to how they choose to vote, nor are you affecting the world in general except feeding your silly ego.

The corruption, crime, assinity, etc. that exists in all countries around the world is an interesting topic though.

Chris

you totally did not get Lord Consul's post and comment. None of what you said is applicable here. Your post should be ignored. I feel embarassed for you.

[christof139]

Ah, so LaC was being a bit sarcatsic. Oh well, I missed that.

however, don't feel embarrassed for me because i am noot embarrassed, so why should you feel embarrassed. You have a problem.

Chris

[Last Roman]

so why should you feel embarrassed.

because you just made a complete idiot out of yourself there.

[christof139]

No reaosn for anyone to be embarrassed for me. I am not embarrassed at all, and as you just stated in another thread sarcasm is frequently misunderstood by everyone. So, no, not anything to be embarrassed about.

It is funny though that the reactionary noodle brains here are indeed trying to blow yet another thing out of all proportion.

Ho hum. I am sure you have never done the same, being the little perfect one that you et al are. Very funny actually.

Chris

[Dunecat]

Cease whilst thou beist a-head.

there was no sarcasm.

Morales' claim: "he would be willing to work with a new American administration"

and as such: You guys got the message... You'd better elect Obama or else...

So row, row, row your boat. Gently out to seaaaaa!

[Iscariott]

With any luck the American government will follow suit and bar the DEA from operations within our borders as well.
