"The Colombian government has become the Israel of Latin America," an agitated Chavez said, reiterating his criticism of the Israel Defense Forces' strikes on Palestinian militants.

"We aren't going to permit Colombia to become the Israel of these lands. ... Uribe, we aren't going to permit you." "We don't want war, but we aren't going to permit the U.S. empire, which is the master [of Colombia] ... to come divide us," Chavez said on his weekly TV and radio program. Ecuador's president, Rafael Correa, said Colombia deliberately carried out the strike beyond its borders. There is no justification, Correa said Sunday night, snubbing an earlier annoucement from Colombia that it would apologize for the incursion.

Correa said the rebels were bombed and massacred as they slept, using
precision technology. He said Colombia violated Ecuador's airspace when it bombed the rebel camp, which the Colombian military said was located 1.8 kilometers from the border.

Now that the BUMBLING INCOMPETENT BUSH/Cheney/Rice regime has been exposed in April 2008 VANITY FAIR, any talk that is tossed at 'making nice' with Palestine will be seen exactly for what it is. Truth is that Rice/Bush attempted IRAN CONTRA 2.0 and FAILED. miserably..thank goodness..! here's the link to Vanity Fair..MUST READ..not that it was "classified"...FULL ARTICLE HERE):

"Vanity Fair has obtained confidential documents, since corroborated by sources in the U.S. And Palestine, which lay bare a covert initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with new weapons supplied at America's behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power. (The State Department declined to comment.)"

thanks!

I saw this coming all along, ever since Bush visited Israel recently. It was obvious that he and Olmert were cooking up something, obviously this hamhanded attempt to cripple Hamas by way of invading Gaza (Bush is the master of invading on false pretenses). It is so obvious that it's sickening, that massive air strikes in response to homemade rockets and wimp Kassems were, and are, overkill designed to smash the people of Gaza into betraying Hamas. The evil never stops.

Forget Israel, 12,000,miles away. Cuba, Venezuela, and Columbia is in our back yard. We get much of our gasoline from Hugo. If this blows up, it will affect your gas bill. Viva la revolution.
