| Bolivia seeks to rebuild strained ties with US |
| 2009-01-29 |
| Bolivia wants to rebuild strained relations with the United States and hopes to exchange ambassadors with the new US administration soon, the South American nation's foreign minister said Wednesday. David Choquehuanca said Bolivia will present US President Barack Obama with an agenda, including plans for a trade deal that he said was rejected by George W. Bush's government. "We want to rebuild our relations with the US, and we know that they want a positive relationship too," Choquehuanca told reporters, saying his country would wait until the new US president was settled in office before pressing the issue. He said the Obama administration had congratulated leftist Bolivian President Evo Morales on voters' approval Sunday of a new constitution, which Morales had made the central platform of his presidency. |

| #11 And besides that, just a month or so ago, an abandoned boat crashed into the rocks at Sunset Cliffs just a few miles south of Del Mar and it was loaded with marijuana. It seems the motor died then they got caught inside the surf line. They left all the drugs in the boat when they bailed out. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. Just wanted bigjim to know the kilos are on their way. |

| #10 If they can bring people they can bring drugs. Probably did. The world's getting faster everyday so ya gotta multitask. Besides them pollos gotta pay off the coyotes somehow. What better way than to deliver some blow after they go ashore? |
