Washington DC went down in total defeat in the Ecuadoran presidential election held this last Sunday. Bush’s candidate was the richest man in Ecuador, Alvaro Naboa, who tried to buy the election with his banana billions and his Bible thumping. His clownish campaign had him repreesenting himself as the candidate of the poor, no less!
The victor, Rafael Correa, has made it one of his central campaign issues to stop allowing US use of Ecuador’s national territory to wage war against Colombia and other locales in South America. He has vowed to fight to close down the US military base in the city of Manta, Ecuador. As one can see, there is plenty of US support for doing this also.
Close down the US military base at Manta!
