Ortega? Sure… Pffft!

Now that the Colombian army has rescued a group of hostages, and that the Farc feel they really have to do something about putting an end to decades of non-sense, they decide they won’t negotiate with the current government. They say, and I quote, that only a new government, which is truly democratic, born from a national agreement, could retake the path of the search for a political solution.

What a bunch of crap! That is what they have been saying for the past 40 years. And they continue with their rampage of violence and abuse toward Colombians. And then they add they want to be in a meeting with Nicaragua’s president, Daniel Ortega? Give me a break!

I think we’ve had enough with the circus that Chávez and Correa have put up. One of them has come to his senses (¡Buena esa, Hugo!), and the other one is still throwing tantrums. And now the Farc want to bring another clown in? I understand they do not recognize the Colombian government, but this is not about politics anymore. They are pretty much weakened and without ideals. This is about the 42 millions of people who are claiming for peace.

I think a group that has done nothing but torture my people has no saying in how negotiations will be. They need to put an end to it NOW.

Gracias, Señor Insulza

Free Ingrid = Free Colombia

The rescue of Ingrid Betancourt and other 14 people who were kept hostages by FARC, is not only about their freedom, but the freedom of a whole country. During decades, Colombians have been victims of a Marxist guerrilla that was never clear about its purposes. What started as a fight for the equal rights of people, became a war against people. Later, the guerrillas became part of the ugly drug market, and their signature included death, kidnappings, and other forms of violence that made Colombia well known around the world, not exactly for the coffee.

Today, the Colombian army triumphed against the rebels; a group that shows every clear sign of disintegration, thanks to a government that has shown no mercy, and to the decay of the rebel leaders whose ideals weren’t ideal. The special forces have rescued an important political leader who became the symbol of the victims of kidnapping, and who gave Colombia the chance to be heard all around the world. To hear Ingrid Betancourt tell the story of how she was chained when night fell on the jungle makes you want to cry. At the same time, seeing her alive and well after all these years gives our country a new hope, and new dreams.

To the armed forces of Colombia, my respect. To the president of Colombia, my admiration. To Ingrid Betancourt and the rescued victims, my best wishes. To my country, ALL MY LOVE.

My South American Rant

Aggression of Colombia my ass! Our army didn’t attack Ecuador. They attacked a terrorist camp less than 2 miles from the border and killed Raul Reyes, one of their leaders. These monsters have been kidnapping, killing and terrorizing our country for decades. And now Hugo Chávez and Rafael Correa take it as a personal insult. Of course, they are in cahoots with the rebels, and the Colombian army took down a key person so they are hurt. This is unbelievable.

Documents from military intelligence show how these two presidents have been in contact with the terrorist group, not only to try to mediate in the hostages crisis, but to take over our government and impose their communist ideas in the region. That is the scariest thing I’ve heard lately. And then they get together at Miraflores in Caracas to discuss, point by point, how to alienate Colombia, overthrow our president and give control to the Marxist guerrillas? Scary, indeed.

I have been wanting to post about this thinking that many people won’t be familiar with it, but I had to say something. Hugo Chávez’s manoeuvre of sending troops to the border to protest about stuff that doesn’t concern him is totally ridiculous. And going from country to country trying to make Alvaro Uribe appear like that bad wolf is very petty. But that’s not the issue… They are trying to make Colombia be the bad kid in the sandbox, but it is very clear they are harbouring and helping terrorists. Nobody can allow this.

I just hope diplomacy will prevail, and that the people of Ecuador and Venezuela wake up and realize what kind of leaders they have. As for Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, he can go eat fried monkeys.

Hugo Wants War

While I’m a little bit worried about the recent political crisis between Colombia and Venezuela, following the death of Raúl Reyes (one key member of FARC), I’m here laughing, trying to understand what goes on in Hugo Chávez‘s head. To ask for a minute of silence to remember a terrorist is not only ridiculous, it is an insult to Colombians!

Chávez should keep to himself right now. If anything, it is up to Ecuador’s president to decide if their sovereignty was violated when the Colombian army attacked a rebel camp, killing Mr. Reyes. The camp happened to be in Ecuador, because that is what they do… They hide next door. This whole sovereignty issue is crap, in my opinion, for no country should become a shelter for terrorists. That is what FARC are.

Hugo Chávez claims he wants to give freedom to Colombians. He can go free his mother for all we care. He’s disrespectful, belligerent, and a ridiculous clown.
