Ortega Knocks US Security Plan

Managua, Dec 5 (Prensa Latina) Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega
affirmed Thursday that the security plan the US is trying to establish
in the world, following its invasion of Iraq, is illegal and erratic.

"That scheme actually complicates the world situation, because it is
based on lies," Ortega said when closing the graduation ceremony
of a course on security and defense of the Nicaraguan army.

The Sandinista leader recalled that to attack Iraq, Washington alleged
the existence of chemical arms in that country, which was a pretext to
control Iraqi oil.

"Now they want to take control of the Iranian oil, and allege Iran wants
to produce atomic arms and that," Ortega warned, "demonstrates how risky
the US security policy is for the people."

The Nicaraguan leader also urged the US government to invest more in
the anti-drug trafficking fight in Central America, which serves as
passageway for drugs taken from South America to the US, the world's
largest drug consuming market.
