Bolivia's Leader Threatens to Close U.S. Embassy
2013-07-06
[An Nahar] Bolivia's president threatened Thursday to close the U.S. embassy as leftist Latin American leaders joined him in blasting Europe and the United States after his plane was rerouted amid suspicions U.S. runaway Edward Snowden was aboard.

President Evo Morales, who has suggested the United States pressured European nations to deny him their airspace, warned he would "study, if necessary, closing the U.S. embassy in Bolivia."

"We don't need a U.S. embassy in Bolivia," he said. "My hand would not shake to close the U.S. embassy. We have dignity, illusory sovereignty. Without the United States, we are better politically, democratically."

#7  Got to give this regime credit, they are making Yankee Imperialism real. No longer a prerogative of Lefty lexicon of the culture or 'other' party, but their own SOP.

#6  "We don't need a U.S. embassy in Bolivia,"

I never agree with Evo, but this time he might actually have a point..

#5  I got a third hand SITREP via DSS and SS over beer and ribs one night at Mike's American. Evidently she [the Hildebeast] is indeed a real piece of work for PSD's.

Keep an eye on the Klingons. :-)

#4  We're fine. SECSTATE blew through town this week but he's actually very low maintenance when compared to the HildeBeast.
