Bolivia is calling for investigations into cables leaked by WikiLeaks that reveal the US had plans in 2008 to topple the left-wing government of President Evo Morales, including potentially backing his assassination.“This requires an in-depth investigation,” said Bolivia's minister of the presidency, Juan Ramon Quintana. “We need to do an investigation to subsequently take decisions with regard to the United States government.”
Quintana referred to the cables WikiLeaks recently published in its new book, The WikiLeaks Files: The World According to US Empire.
“Tacitly it is a supported description of the destabilisation strategy of the United States that ranged between a coup and the assassination of President Morales,” he said.
“In 2007 the embassy of the United States installed a Centre of Operations in order to execute a civil coup to apply plan A, which was the coup, and plan B, which was the assassination.”
Relations have been strained between the US and the Morales government, first elected in 2005, which has brought key sectors of the economy into state hands, cut poverty by social spending and empowered the indigenous majority.
In 2008, Morales expelled the US ambassador from the country, alleging the ambassador was actively supporting a right-wing coup.
The US has denied the plans revealed by WikiLeaks. A representative described the WikiLeaks accusations as “absolutely false and absurd”. Despite the denials, the Bolivian government said it was pressing ahead with a thorough investigation.

The US often times cannot stand left wing populist governments such as Evo's. The US has a long history of overthrowing and/or attempting to overthrow socialist governments such as Evo's in Latin America. These new revelations do not surprise me at all.

And who was in charge of the US in 2008, hm? This brings back memories of the regime-change policy that was a fundamental part of conservative presidencies (and the reason I say 'conservative' is because several of our Democratic presidents were quite conservative when it came to foreign policy).
 
The United States is a big place. Anyone could have been involved in that so good luck trying to find the culprit.

Of course Obama is just a puppet as was Bush and most presidents before him. There's only the ILLUSION of democracy.
