uribe is now covering some details associated with the evidence found in the computers. it appears to me that he is attempting to advance the evidence to international courts. chavez is being a pretty cool and diplomatic character. correa is smirking alot and shaking his head in disagreement. correa is smug and quite the smart ass in his facial reactions.

uribe's administration is smart. although i cannot understand everything being said, it is an obvious strategy to link correa and ecuador to farc support in order to hang him first. chavez should fall by association thereafter.

"Lo que el Presidente de Nicaragua busca con su decisión de romper relaciones con Colombia es aprovechar la reciente coyuntura de la crisis entre Colombia y Ecuador para tratar de hacerle ver al mundo que su país también es víctima de supuestas agresiones territoriales por parte de Colombia.

En este punto, el presidente de Colombia, �?lvaro Uribe, ha sido claro en pedir a los colombianos y a la Armada Nacional que no se traspase el meridiano 82 que define la frontera entre los dos países. A su vez, el embajador de Colombia en la OEA, Camilo Ospina, pidió a Nicaragua dejar a un lado esta "actitud oportunista", pues el tema con Nicaragua es evaluado en la actualidad por la Corte de La Haya."

Uribe Tears Into Correa at Summit With FARC Charges (Update1)

By Joshua Goodman

March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe tore into his Ecuadorean counterpart Rafael Correa during a regional summit, accusing the socialist leader of receiving campaign money from Colombian guerrillas.

Uribe, speaking to 15 Latin American presidents during the Rio Group summit in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, said Ecuador isn't an ally in the fight against terrorism and acknowledged he didn't inform Correa in advance of a military operation in Ecuadorean territory last week that killed top rebel leader Raul Reyes.

``I didn't inform him of the operation because we have not received cooperation from his government in the fight against terrorism,'' Uribe told the leaders.

Correa walked out of the room during Uribe's speech, prompting the Colombian leader to stop and say he wouldn't resume until his Ecuadorean counterpart came back to hear the charges. Minutes earlier, Correa called Uribe's version of the military operation a ``farce'' and said ``Colombia shelters more terrorists than anyone.''

The heated exchange and Colombia's fraying relations with neighbors Ecuador, Venezuela and Nicaragua dominated discussions at the Rio Group summit, an annual gathering that is intended to be a display of regional unity.

Fighting Back

Uribe, who has been mostly silent since the Organization of American States criticized his military's violation of Ecuador's sovereignty this week, saved no criticism of his neighbors' alleged collaboration with the FARC rebel group.

He said four laptop computers seized during the cross- border raid contained documents pointing to FARC financing of Correa's 2006 presidential campaign. This week, Uribe alleged the same files show Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been funding the FARC. Correa and Chavez have denied allegations they help the group.

``One letter from Marulanda to Raul Reyes transferring $50,000 to help Correa win the second round in his election,'' said Uribe, referring to septuagenarian FARC commander Manuel Marulanda.

Prior to his speech, Uribe was the only regional leader to miss a photo of summit participants, entering into the foreign ministry where the conference is taking place through a side door.

He also skipped a dinner last night hosted by Dominican Republic President Leonel Fernandez.

So no, according the puto Chavez the FARC are not terrorists.

People were getting very restless while Uribe was speaking, There was a lot of movement, talk, distraction. Uribe is not a very good speaker (in spite of his lovely Spanish), he looked nervous, cornered, unsure.

Actually, I think Correa won. Colombia are the big bad guys who invaded the territory, and Ecuador, well Correa, has forgiven them, thus laying the groundwork for dialogue and peace.

Ecuador has played this very well. No more FARC-links for Correa, to cap it all off.
