Evo Morales blames the US for Honduran coup

[subsuelo]

Bolivian President Evo Morales reiterated on Monday accusations against the U.S. administration, blaming Washington for leading last month’s coup in Honduras.

Morales made his comments during an official trip to Uruguay where he met with Uruguayan President Tabare Vazquez and discussed issues of regional importance including the expansion of Bolivia’s sea access.

Following the meeting Morales renewed accusations he had made late last week that the United States – which has denounced the overthrow of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya – was involved in the coup.

“Perhaps Obama doesn’t know it, but the structure of the (U.S.) empire still remains and what was supposed to happen last year in Bolivia is now happening in Honduras. It is an aggression, a provocation act of the empire,” the Bolivian president told a news conference in reference to a spate of clashes which broke last year in Bolivia when several regions demanded autonomy.

“I have first-hand information that the Southern Command of the United States has led the (military) coup in Honduras,” he added, declining to give further details.

1. Evo knows of what he speaks. I'm sure that Bolivian intelligence officers

were trained by the Cubans

2. When Evo speaks, I'm listening.

He does not go around making stuff up.

3. Remember that it was the Dems election machine that ran Goni's campaign against Evo.

They tried every slimy and dirty trick in the book to defeat Morales.

For those who haven't seen it, you should check the documentary "Our Brand is Crisis" about that campaign.
