[quote=”moonbanks”]hey scott I know you were in the service and understand better than most whats going on here…
all I can say is my son served with the Marine Corp on board the Iwo Jima..I talked to him yesterday and he told me that this was a regularly scheduled Carribean tour…not to worry and dont read anything into this..[/quote]Yes I know, I just think its funny how people go crazy. These events take more than six months to plan and a lot of planning involved. 😀
And yes there are military members in Costa Rica 360 days out of the year. They are called Marine Guards that Guard your safe haven the Embassy..hahaha just had to throw that one in there..
[quote=”sprite”]Scott, you and I are always on the same political wave length. Thanks for pointing out the suspicious nature of this military visit from the largest, most powerful economic colonial empire on the planet. Anybody who buys into the story that this is a humanitarian visit is beyond naive and beyond enlightenment as to the true nature of this beast. I don’t argue with such people. Even after the bullets and bodies are in the news, these people will beat their chests harder and wave that old flag higher. I yearn to escape these people but I still find them in Costa Rica.[/quote]
Sprite I suggest that you try Cuba or North Korea or maybe Scott’s mountaintop.

This may shed some light on the “why are the US Armed forces in CR”?
According to official US aid agency documents, Washington has poured over $50 million dollars into the coffers of opposition controlled NGO’s and political “fronts” which promote US interests in the run up to the elections, focusing on unifying the squabbling opposition factions, subsidizing the 70% private mass media and financing opposition controlled community groups in middle and lower class neighborhoods. Unlike the US, Venezuela does not require recipients of overseas funds acting on behalf of a foreign power to register as foreign agents. The Rightwing campaign focuses on government corruption and drug trafficking, a line echoed by the White House and the New York Times, forgetting to mention that Venezuela’s Attorney General announced the prosecution of 2,700 cases of individual corruption and 17,000 cases of drug trafficking. The opposition and the Washington Post cite the case of the state distribution system (PDVAL) failing to deliver several thousand tons of food, causing it to rot and go to waste but they failed to mention that the three former directors are in jail and that the food ministry provides one-third of staple food consumption in the country at prices up to one-half lower than the private supermarketsI assume Venezuela is always the target of U.S. efforts in the Caribbean. But that doesn’t explain why a force is currently “visiting” Costa Rica. Panama is nearer to Maracaibo, is it not? I am no logistics professional but maybe somebody else here might offer a suggested explanation for a Venezuelan connection. I am distrustful as always of any movement of U.S. military assets. Perhaps there is a Honduran connection here. I certainly hope this has nothing to do with Costa Rica.

I have my own mountain top, thank you. And there is never a guarantee that North Korea or Cuba could avoid invasion.

[/quote]Of course, it’s the Venezuelan elections why didn’t I think of that…. Just like why we did Medcaps in Paraguay, for the water and the secret base!

:idea:[/quote]Huge oilfield find in Paraguay last year also.Well they came and went now they are taking over another country! I guess it really hurt Costa Rica when they landed here! :?Ihttp://blogs.state.gov/index.php/site/entry/cp10_guyana
Maybe we should invite them back and ask them to just send a few patrol boats up the Rio San Juan del Norte ….. just on “drug patrol”. It may be interesting to see what the Nicaraguans do if that were to occur! Obviously the “Satan”istas are not going to worry about what the OAS says!
I usually have a pretty good chuckle at some of the articles in AM Costa Rica but the headliner today comparing the invasion by Nicaragua to squaters rights in CR is right on the money. Let’s see how CR deals with this situation – I sense the government will be as frustrated as most Gringos in trying to deal with such situations!
It’s also interesting that Chavez and his Russian Engineering Advisors are helping clear the silt. Ha!
[quote=”Angelina”]U.S. is the very good country and every country is doing good & bad work as per the situations and even US has done the same over all its a nice country which work hard when it comes to maintaining the relationship with the countries.[/quote]
It might pay to look at the web site [url=http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm]Statement of Pronciples[/url] for the Project for a New American Century to discover exactly what the U.S. has in mind for the world.
Look particularly at the signatures at the bottom to see who supports American domination.

… and they did such a great job with their “anti-narcotics operations”, right?
Oh! But wait a minute… We heard absolutley NOTHING about any success in that area.
So they FAILED in their mission here.

It may be that their task is merely to make their presence felt…strike a pose of might and power in a tiny little country with no army in order to remind all who has the big guns. Bullies don’t usually need to do any physical harm to get their way.

I haven’t hears a lot about what they did do. Nothing as far as drug interdiction apparently. Did they provide any humanitarian service that would not have been done in any case?
How about all of the US citizens in the US who need operations and can not afford them, have no insurance, lost their jobs…is our military giving them Humanitarian Aid??? Are their needs any less??? It is their tax dollars that are floating these ships.[/quote]
To add. What about the 9/11 volunteers who were refused medical treatment in the US and Michael Moore took them to Cuba.
