McColombia

Since when do we have an "obligation" to go in and fix South America's social issues?

So I guess the trade embargo with Cuba is ok, too?

haha

man..this whole friggin way to do tihs has got to change. One back scratching anothers starts it a....all over the worldll
If Obama doesn't win man there will be such shit all across the country. I am outta here!!!!!!

this is really all a distraction from the main issue at hand

The Cia is the main body to ask as to what is going on in Columbia

You finally got the operation you dreamed of having as a young boy. good for you nobamajon or should I say nobamagirl.

We cant cure everybody's problems. We have to work on our own first.

Am sorry that Columbia is a mess.....McCain is an idiot
I am beyond tired of him and then there is Palin
I may move to Columbia if they are elected THEY , OF COURSE BEING THE HERO HEAD AND TEETS AND SAS. COULDN'T STAY IN THIS JOKE OF A COUNTRY ANYMORE.
Should have major media get ahold of all of this, heh? McCain is a total failure.

Obama has to get in before he can talk to the socialist leaders. With todays media, any association with these leaders is political suicide this close to the election. Obama is the far better choice because we do not know for sure what he will do.

This is from the page of Buy USA http://www.buyusa.gov/sacramento/colombiatariffticker.html

"Today, more than 90 percent of Colombian products enter the United States duty free, as they have for more than 16 years with strong Congressional support. The “Colombia Tariff Ticker” highlights the unfair playing field on which American exporters currently operate, and likewise the money they could save if Congress approves the U.S.-Colombia TPA. "

The GP of the US in 2006 was 14 trillion Dllrs
The GDP of Colombia in 2006 was $374.4 billion

...if you want to know what is happening in Colombia....the world....and the Universe....you could ask the Kogi of Colombia....they are being held captive by Cocaine traffickers that control the lowlands and cut them off from their salt supply....the Kogi chew the leaves just like many have done for thousands of years to deal with the altitude....next time you snort a line off a mirror....look close....you can see them crying.....and yourself dying....Golden Ruler...Johnnie Hargrave.......

treatys with none trade with everyone.....

Well well, what else is new. I will post what I posted couple of days ago:

McCain was in Cartagena, Colombia for 36 Hrs that does not warrant knowledge of the situation in that Country (which BTW I know very well) The famous treaty is a massive amount of nothing that will destroy the farmers in Colombia and erase all intellectual property. Colombia right now has trade advantages and its exports enjoy almost tariff free exceptions thanks to the plan Colombia. Its exceptions are so advantageous that impresarios from other countries such as Ecuador and Venezuela, set bases in Colombia so they can too export their products under this agreement.

The main reason of the treaty is to set a strong military presence there and continue with the profitable war on drugs.

McCain is a Clown

I will ad to this that I also have been listening to Obama demonizing Venezuela, I hope really that he is only playing the demagogic card for those extreme right warmongers. Right on the money Viero.

Great post Vierotchka

I can guarantee you the CIA is behind every single one of those assassinations. Columbia is strategic to the US foreign policy of exploit the many for the few, and Obama nailed that one. This is just more exploitation of humanity for the benefit of giant global corporations.

The US has been working overtime to discredit Chavez, and he has had a bulls-eye on his back for a long time. You can't even trust reports coming from organizations that are supposedly pro human rights...the US sponsored corruption runs deep and wide. If you haven't already read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, you will find it interesting, particularly on the history of US interventions in this part of the world.

The only wrong Policy from Obama is his eagerness to stop Free Trade agreements with countries like Colombia. He is looking for better "Human Rights" in order to enable the Free Trade. How can there be any human rights with no Money?
