Costa
Rica
"Does"
Have An
Army,
According
to Evo
Morales
Costa
Rica is
known
around
the
world as
a
country
without
an army,
abolishing
its
armed
forces
in 1948.
However,
Bolivian
president,
Evo
Morales,
says
otherwise.
Morales
said in
a speech
in La
Paz, the
capital
of
Bolivia,
that in
fact
Costa
Rica
does
have an
army,
"the
army of
the
United
States
of
America."
According
to the
EFE news
agency
reprot,
Morales
said
that
"since
becoming
President,
he
learned
to
appreciate
the
importance
of his
army."
Costa
Rica's
mionistro
de
Seguridad
Pública,
José
María
Tijerino,
said of
the
Morales
statement:
"the
speech
is
mitilaristic,
I can
assure
you that
in Costa
Rica
there is
not one
armed
American
soldier".
Someone
should
let
Tijerino
know
that the
USS Iwo
Jima
with a
crew of
1.000
plus is
docked
in
Limón,
Costa
Rica.
And
although
none of
the crew
may be
armed on
Costa
Rican
soil,
the US
Navy
ship is
a battle
ship and
is in
Costa
Rica.
