Clinton's administration had a clandestine meeting with assassinated FARC leader Reyes in Costa Rica in 1998.
Ecuador has more reason to be angry with Mr Uribe than Venezuela. This was not a raid conducted in conditions of hot pursuit but a planned breach of an international border. The attraction of killing the number two in the rebel army also outweighed the interests of 12 hostages whose release Ecuador appeared to be on the point of securing. Among them was the former presidential candidate Íngrid Betancourt, who is reported to be gravely ill. Reyes was the only point of contact for foreign governments seeking to obtain the release of their nationals. An official from Bill Clinton's administration had a clandestine meeting with him in Costa Rica in 1998.

I look forward to the day when we can get most of our information from sources other than these hypocritical bourgeois propaganda mills (of course, VHeadline has every right to post whatever comes its way on the subject of Venezuela and its interests. I'm only questioning the content and intent of the sources it aggregates here).
ReplyDeleteUntil then, it's left to the likes of me point out, for instance, that these imperial "analysts" have been systematically trying to de-couple the ally status of Ecuador and Venezuela from each other lately. As if the colombian oligarchy's aggressions against Ecuador have absolutely nothing to do with the security of the venezuelan revolution, or anything else -- which is a lie, on top of being a crock of shit. In fact, the venezuelan state has every right -- and has an obligation, in fact -- to come to the aid of a fellow country suffering aggression from this common threat: not least because the colombian oligarchy in fact serves as a cats paw for U.S. imperialism, pure and simple.
