Bush congratulates new Nicaraguan President Ortega
President George W. Bush congratulated by telephone once bitter U.S. foe Daniel Ortega on his election as Nicaraguan president, the White House said on Monday. Ortega won the November ballot despite American support for his opponent. He led the 1979 Marxist revolution there and his Sandinistas spent years fighting a civil war against U.S.-backed Contra rebels. Posted by: Fred 2007-01-09 |
