#1 Now would be a nice time to kick Ortega in the teeth. Call in the Marines, Costa Rica!

#2 After the last C.A. curfluffle, Costa Rica better be sure which side of the border the Marines will be deployed upon. What does it say they went to the OAS then the UN, but no mention of the USA?

In a sane world there are already US advisors and forward artillary spotters there.

#3 Gee, anybody else sense that Danny Ortega sees an opening since the Oblahblah administration hasn't got the faintest idea what the Monroe Doctrine was about, except that some old white guy wrote it and so it must be bad, and we aren't going to act like a superpower anymore, not even a regional power, so Danny and Lula and Hugo and the Iranian/Chinese connections can just further set up Latin America for a hegemon and resource base linked to the rising Pacific Power? No, No, we are way too smart to stop that.....

#4 I'm sure a one-ship ARCLIGHT strike could solve the problem soon enough... If not, try a six-ship strike on Managua, followed by another six with napalm canisters. Dictators and petty tyrants will continue to pull this sh$$ until WE respond, with overwhelming force.

#5 Danny O is simply pulling a Red China on Costa Rica : the ChiComs simply walked in and took a big chunk of the Indian state on their border back when Nehru was PM of India. He had gutted the Indian military and the ChiComs knew it. CR is in even a worse position - their police don't even have the SWAT capabilities of either NYC or LA, so anyone with a couple of hundred troops can bitch slap CR and get away with it.
