Classified By: Ambassador Philip S. Goldberg for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d
).
President Morales vehemently opposes U.S. and coalition
activities in Iraq. The GOB routinely criticizes our
involvement in Iraq. On November 30, 2006 at a summit in
Abuja, Nigeria, President Morales called on South American
and African nations to support a petition for the withdrawal
of foreign troops from Iraq. The GOB would not consider
military or other contributions to the Iraq Coalition.
