Wait....doesn't that violate sovereignty? Doesn't that make the FARC members mercenaries of the Venezuelan empire?

Let me see if I got this right, if the US funds REAL opposition groups like dissidents in Cuba all hell breaks lose and fifo has a Yeyo, yet hugito can fund at his hearts content?

ahhhhh the irony of the double standard.

If the uranium issue does not justify UN military intervention then nothing will. I have been saying for years that we had better watch Latin America close. I hope its not too late. Its time to take out the thug Chavez.

Personally, I think the U.S. should deny his visa requests for future visits to the United Nations. Why on Earth should we be allowing drug kingpins to enter the U.S. under the guise of being "diplomats." The guy's a phony - it's just that simple.

The moment has arrived for the UN and the OEA to do something about this stupid coca leaf chewing, mad clown called Hugito.

Unfortunately given the track record of these organizations in the last few years I doubt that much will come out of it except attacking the Colombian government for it's actions instead of standing up to the perpetrators of the crime (the FARC and Chavez).

At the end it will always fall on the shoulders of the United States of America (the beacon of freedom and democracy around the world) to do something about.

This world of today is in extreme sad shape when it comes to finding true leadership that has the integrity and courage to stand up to the likes of Hugito and company, what can I say.

Oye Hugo -

Does the name "NORIEGA" mean anything to 'ya?

-S-

Why am I not surprised. The Venezuelen people have let a drug runner take over thier country...Hey didn't Castro do the same thing? I guess is Chavez is just following the rule book...Also why does anyone even talk about the U.N.? That has to be the most useless organization that has ever been created. Nothing has changed the rest of the world will view the U.S. as the bad guys and Chavez the good guy....Same shit different color. haha

If the UN is useless, the OAS is 100 times more useless.
Insulza will go to Colombia, backed up by Bachelet and Lula, and accuse Colombia of "invading" the sovereign territory of Ecuador. I don't expect any condemnation of Chavez or Correa.

Ecuador broke diplomatic relation with Colombia. The announcement was made at 5 PM

I wish the U.N. was actually useless, it would be a huge improvement. As it stands now, it is flat-out destructive and a far greater threat to the world than Chavez will ever be -- because with its fun-house mirror view of good and evil, the U.N. makes tyrants like Castro and Chavez possible to begin with, and gives them an air of legitimacy that prolongs their reigns of terror.

Speaking of drug Kingpins... Both the United Nations and the OAS not only allowed castro to enter their "Hallowed halls" but they also worshiped at his feet. Why should it be any different with fidel's protégé.

George at Realcuba is reporting that Correa is going to Venezuela for some coaching. Since they have broken diplomatic ties can Correa violate Colombian airspace? Make him fly around or shoot him down.

Shooting him down wouldn't be a bad idea. If they really want to be technical, he would be violating Colombain air space, and I'm sure the president would have some type of armed air support. Good question. Well guys I guess the facts are simple; Castro gov't supports terrorism/kidnappings/human rights violations/etc. ect. to much to right one of my shows is starting now. Well anyway so if the Castro bothers fall into this category, where does that leave the rest of the monkeys? Brazil's president, Venezuela's president, ecaudors' president, Bolivia's President.... They all follow the ways of the Castro's...And still we have dumbass leftwingers ( i don't need to add the names we know who u are) who support these lunatics. Maybe we need another World War? It's kind of like recycling the earth of all the scum...Come on Green Peace you should be all for this...just kidding but you never know.

Just a question. Did FARC not violate Ecuador's borders? Did they not attack their sovereignty by establishing bases on foreign soil?
Now the hoot is that Venezcuador is claiming that they were working on releasing hostages. What a joke.

If it wasn't so hypocritic castro's comments would be funny.

HAVANA (Reuters) - Former Cuban President Fidel Castro waded into the growing dispute between Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela on Tuesday, backing Ecuador but aiming his fire mainly at arch-enemy the United States.
Cuban allies Ecuador and Venezuela broke diplomatic ties with Colombia after its forces killed a rebel inside Ecuador in a raid that sparked troop deployments and warnings of war.

"Imperialism has just committed a monstrous crime in Ecuador," Castro wrote in his latest column for Cuban state-run media, this one on his relations with Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa.

"Deadly bombs were dropped in the early morning against a group of men and women whom, with few exceptions, were sleeping ... they were Yankee bombs, guided by Yankee satellites."

The crisis erupted when Colombia flew troops into Ecuador on Saturday to kill a senior rebel of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, and 21 of his fighters.

It was a major blow to Latin America's oldest rebel group and also eliminated a key contact for governments, such as France, Venezuela and Ecuador, in talks to free hostages held by FARC for years in jungle camps.

Castro, who had a series of abdominal operations over the last 19 months from which he has never fully recovered, resigned as president two weeks ago.

The Cuban government, now headed by his brother Raul, has yet to comment on the Latin American crisis.

Fidel Castro on Tuesday blasted the Colombian and U.S. rationale for Saturday's attack -- that the FARC is a terrorist organization.

"The concrete accusations against these human beings do not justify the action ... Absolutely no one has the right to kill in cold blood," he said.

"If we accept this imperial method of war and barbarity, Yankee bombs guided by Yankee satellites could fall on any group of Latin American men and women in the territory of any country," Castro said.

He insisted Cubans "are not enemies of Colombia" but said "to remain silent would make us accomplices ... Ecuadorean territory was occupied by troops that crossed the border."
