A pre-emptive strike by Costa Rica?? |
| Costa Rica weighs pre-emptive strike on
U.S.
"Funny Business" from Sojourners
online [10-19-02]
October 15, 2002 - San Jose, Costa Rica: The government of Costa Rica is
beginning preparations for a possible invasion of the United States,
Costa Rican officials have said.
In a speech to a group of business leaders in San Jose
on Thursday, Costa Rican Foreign Minister Roberto Tovar said that the
government of George W. Bush constitutes a "continuing threat that
will only worsen," making military action a requirement. "It
is better to act now than to wait until bombs are raining down on San
Jose," he said.
Tovar and Costa Rican president Abel Pacheco have been
working to convince their country that they ignore the danger at their
peril. "George W. Bush has massive stockpiles of weapons of mass
destruction, nuclear, chemical and biological," Pacheco said in a
recent speech. "Nothing he has done indicates he would have the
slightest hesitation to use them against his neighbors." Pacheco
cited the numerous instances in which the U.S. government has initiated
overt or covert military action against its neighbors, listing Panama,
Grenada, and Nicaragua, among others.
"Costa Rica has a stronger democracy than any
other country in Latin America," said Tovar. "As such, we
realize the threat we pose to the Bush regime. For all we know, they
could attack at any moment."
