Big Gift that Obama and Uribe give to Chavez - Is Latin America becoming the Land of Super Idiots ?? - Sending poor Colombians to die in Afghanistan
As if Chavez wasn't enough to create idiotic trouble in Latin America.
I just learned that Colombia ( that is President Alvaro Uribe ) is going to send troops to combat in Afghanistan.
I can not imagine something more stupid or a greater gift to Chavez Propaganda of destabilization of Latin America.
This shows the Colombian Government in the Worst Possible Light. With an internal conflict tha has not finished and sending troops for combat in a Foreign extreme far away nation, where there are no interests and where they are going to be killed miserably and uselessly to please a guy that is becoming megalomaniac ( Alvaro Uribe ).
Those troops are needed at home to fight against guerrillas, police the nation criminals and narcos, remove the thousands of land mines in Colombian land, etc ...
I can not imagine something more absurd and idiotic.
Fortunately the Constitutional Courts are opposing Uribe and may sink the Referendum, the Referendum for a Third Presidency is becoming unpopular and it needs a threshold that is very difficult to achieve ( Uribe suffered a defeat in another Referendum because people stayed at home to sink his projects ! )
Uribe is also commiting many mistakes and managing Health Care as a despot by decree. The Agricultural Subsidies of Uribe are a Big Corruption. His friends and cronies are subsidized for Big Farms. Nothing for the poor guy.

There are currently about 120 Colombian soldiers serving under NATO in Afghanistan. Their focus is on landmine removal and combatting drug trafficking.

I am beginning to look to the Colombian Government as 50% evil and 50% Imbecility.
A third term for Uribe would be catastrophic. A tropical Geoge W. Bush ??
