 "Cocaine is resurgent in Bolivia," said professor Bruce Bagley. "Morales has a big problem on his hands."

  But President Evo Morales will not invite U.S. drug agents back to Bolivia despite recent failures and embarrassments in drug enforcement.

   Just last week, a DEA sting trapped Gen.Rene Sanabria, Morales' former chief of anti-drug police.
   Morales claims "interests of a geopolitical nature" were behind the Sanabria case. "They are using police to try to implicate the government," he said.

   In 2008, Morales expelled all of some 30 DEA 30 agents.
