Correa: Colombia has launched a smear campaign to stain the Ecuadorean government's image

Standing on the presidential's palace balcony, Correa told hundreds of backers that Colombia has launched a smear campaign to stain his government's image and force Ecuador to get involved in Colombia's four-decade war with leftist rebels. 'A smear campaign continues to try to link our government with the FARC,' Correa told the crowd after holding an emergency meeting with top military and government officials over the dispute. 'We are not going to fall into that trap ... We don't have to waste our resources for a fight that is not ours.'
