There was certainly no racism in any of my statements. It’s prohibited on this board, and would have never posted.

When all else fails cry racism. That’s an often used tactic. Good luck with it, sir.

I am not interested in discussing your racist views.

I addressed all of your irreverent, scatter shot issues previously, sir. Please review my response.

A pretext is often used in war, sir.

Now it seems you are backing and filling as you too are turning against OA..??

My problem with him and yourself is that since CR’s infancy as a republic CR has relied on the US to nurture her financially (to the tune of several billion) and militarily (as cited in prior response).

Your President (famous for her recent jetting exploits) attended Georgetown. I am willing to wager this was on a US scholarship, and with affirmative action benefits.

Back a couple of decades when CR could no longer pay the interest on their bonds, and were on the brink of financial collapse, who was it that not only paid the interest, but paid off the bonds to the tune of billions in present value? The US.

I have also lived in Puerto Rico where I observed the exact ingratitude that I find here. Could it be that particular race shares an inbred blind spot or is it just the result of arsenic rot?

Dear Disgusted, you forgot to mention that the US and ‘Communist’ China have been doing business since the days Richard Nixon was president. In fact everything fat Americans buy these days at Wal-Mart is made in China. You also forgot to mention that the US is China’s biggest debtor. So you are Chinas’ favorite mistress, not tiny Costa Rica. By the way I had another word in mind, but ‘mistress’ works well.

Really…… I guess you also have secret information about the aliens in Roswell, or about the thermite Dick Cheney used at the World Trade Center.

I don’t feel that much appreciation for Oscar Arias, but he has made a point, and many people agrees with him. The point is the US lost any credibility it had by launching a war in Iraq based on shoddy intelligence.You can go to YouTube and watch Colin Powell deliver his famous report at the Security Council. He lied to the UN. And I am pretty sure the British MPs remembered that speech well and all the lies in it, since they denied Cameron the right to invade Syria.

On point 5, the USA was helping Saddam in the Iraq/Iran war in the 1980′s and stopped action in the U.N. calling on Saddam to stop using chemical weapons which included Mustard gas and Sarin. Saddam later gassed the Kurds with same Sarin in the late 1980′s. So, the guest poster is correct.

Costa Rica got airplanes (P-51D Mustangs from the USA) in 1955, not 1954. 3 of them were used against the Calderonista rebels that invaded from Nicaragua with Somoza’s support early on. So Costa Rica has had American support during one of its wars.

And helping Al Qaeda Islamic rebels who are killed Christians in Syria is your answer. The correct course of action is to REDUCE the number of weapons in the region so as to REDUCE the violence. Right now, it’s the USA, UK, France, Saudi, Islamic rebels, etc vs. Russia, China, Iran, Iraq (yes, Iraq), Hezbollah, and of course, Syria on the other.

Lets do our best to eliminate and stop chemical weapons but not just bomb the crap out of a country that is having a civil war that doesn’t really affect us.
Enough of the NeoCons.

Thanks for the kind words.

You’ve got a great moniker. You and me too.
