Bolivian President Evo Morales: “Shameful” For West to Spend Trillions On War and Only $10 Billion For Climate Change



Bolivian President Evo Morales recently arrived in Copenhagen for the UN Climate Summit. In a press conference Wednesday, Morales said, “The budget for the United States is $687 billion for defense and they want for climate change–to save life, to save humanity–they only put up $10 billion. This is shameful.”

3. Sounds like Hillary Clinton and embedded Reagan Contra criminals are controlling Obama's policy.

Corporate media here won't bother to tell us what crap they've been dealing Bolivia. From that interview:

Even President Bush did not make any observations about the new clauses in the constitution of Bolivia, whereas under the new administration there have been observations and comments made about the new constitution that’s been drafted, in particular in relation to the management of the gas and oil sectors. This is a clear involvement in Bolivian internal affairs by the Obama administration. At the end of the day, it seems that they’re asking us to change the constitution. This is something that not even Bush did. If we just look at this, this makes Obama seem—look worse than Bush. And the documents are there.

Unbelievable.

People with a real hunger to kick Latin American ass need to be flushed out of this administration. A country this large looks stupid and morally degenerated, trying to bully, terrorize, and possess other countries.

4. It's not only Latin America.

Clinton was sent to Copenhagen to put money on the table for anyone who would support our catastrophic "plan" -- kill Kyoto, no reparations, individual national plans which will not address the climate increase.

It's beyond disgusting. Don't these people have children and grandchildren? :puke:
