Skeptical about Rumor of Marines Massing Against Nicaragua
Are marines massing against Nicaragua? Why would Obama do that to a Sandinista socialist like Ortega? Wag the dog?
Older headling for context:
Losing Nicaragua— The Sandinistas are slowly crushing democracy.

The rumor is difficult to believe in light of this:

6/14/2010: CORINTO, Nicaragua (NNS) — High Speed Vessel Swift (HSV 2) Sailors and Marines refurbished a community basketball court in Corinto, Nicaragua, June 10.
The ship is deployed in support of Southern Partnership Station (SPS) 2010, which is designed to strengthen maritime relations with partner nations in the U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) area of responsibility (AOR) in the Caribbean and Central America, which includes close interaction with the local communities.
“Being able to share the experience with the locals was great,” said Marine Corps Capt. Etan Anthony, a subject matter expert exchange facilitator currently deployed aboard Swift. “It really shows that both the U.S. and Nicaragua have a shared interest in regional development and security, and in improving the lives of everyone here.” [snip]
