Bush is El Vendejo User ID: 40044 United States 11/07/2005 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bush whacked like a pinata in Latin America November 7, 2005 -- Bush trip to Latin America an unmitigated disaster. Although the corpo-media is painting George W. Bush´s trip to an Americas Summit in Mar del Plata, Argentina and his visits to Brazil and Panama as a "nothing lost, nothing gained" venture, in reality, it was a total disaster. Bush was clearly afraid to personally confront Latin America´s most popular leader, Venezuela´s President Hugo Chavez Frias. Instead, Bush waited until he arrived in Brazil to accuse Chavez of not providing for his people. Bush and his support team carefully choreographed Bush´s movements at the summit to prevent any encounter between him and Chavez. The Venezuelan leader emerged from the summit as the clear victor, Bush as a dejected loser. Ironically, while poverty, long-term unemployment, and savings have plummeted for Americans during Bush´s term, Chavez has shared his nation´s oil revenues with its poorest citizens. The only Venezuelans who have had to make a sacrifice are Venezuela´s wealthy elite, the natural allies of Bush and the neo-cons who tried to overthrow Chavez in a coup in April 2002. Chavez and a group of other populist leaders, including the presidents of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay, managed to scuttle Bush´s Free Trade Area of the Americas. That plan is now as dead as Bush´s social security reform initiative and his plan for an outbreak of democracies in the Middle East.

Observers believe that Bush´s visit to Panama was sending a message to Latin American leaders who oppose Bush. It was in December 1989 that Bush´s father invaded Panama and overthrew its leader, one-time Bush family drug and arms smuggler Gen. Manuel Noriega. noreiga.jpg (2287 bytes) Bush visit to Panama sends Latin American leaders a message: Cross me and wind up like Noriega who crossed my daddy After his disastrous trip to Latin America, Bush arrives back in Washington just in time to see his party take an anticipated drubbing in off-year elections on Nov. 8 and the arrival in Washington of Iraqi National Congress head and Iraqi Oil Minister Ahmad Chalabi, the source of much of the bogus intelligence that was used to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

The USA has a habit of going to countries asking for "free trade". In effect this means that they must take lots and lots of American products and then try to compete in america with their own products against heavily US subsidised industries.
Brazil is one country who stated plainly that they will not go for a "free trade" agreement with the USA unless the USA reduces it´s agricultural subsidies.
"free Trade" with the USA is an another oxymoron because the USA HEAVILY subsidises the very industrires its free trade partners specialise in...ergo, they cannot compete on price. |

The terrorists hate our free trade. That is why we must liberate Latin America. I´m here to finish what my daddy started. It´s not a war, it´s an operation! We´re gonna axe ´em on their axis! We´re gonna smoke ´em out of their hidey-holes! Intelligence tells me that Mr. Chavez is a threat to the greater good. We believe he is working closely with our enemies. Almost everyone is our enemy now. So, ya buncha limp enchilada eaters, Bring it ON! Soon the war cry of the new crusade will be on every fat man´s lips! El Quiero Taco Bell...!?! Do ya like it? It was the dog´s idea. |
