VHeadline.com commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: President Hugo Chavez Frias gets to use his good offices to get the release of two high profile Colombians from captivity as hostages of FARC, namely Clara Rojas and Consuelo Rodriguez, and the U.S. has the audacity to praise its stooge Alvaro Uribe who attempted to squelch the deal and make Chavez look inept, because it would not help U.S. policy and shower praise on Chavez.
Thus, Chavez got no mention in the statement made by U.S. State Department spokesman Tom Casey. It’s just like the Bush regime to avoid the truth at any cost.
The world today has realized the importance of men like Chavez, who are doers and care for people enough to risk their careers. Alvaro Uribe on the other hand being a U.S. puppet cannot act on his own volition, because he must first get the okay of the man in the White House. Can one imagine, how the man who did not lift a finger to help in the release of the FARC hostages getting all the praise from the U.S. Government?
This is U.S. Government insanity at its best.
On returning from his Middle East trip, spreading further chaos George W. Bush is going to have a banquet at the White House, the main dish well be roasted CROW, not TURKEY. Now Bush and the rest of his cronies can share this well-deserved feast. After all they have earned the right to this meal, because they used every trick in the book to sabotage Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias’s humanitarian efforts to get the hostages released. Of course Alvaro Uribe is no where to be seen, since he had took part in getting the hostages released. Perhaps, who knows how those in Washington think. They may remove Alvaro Uribe from power, and replace him with another puppet.
It is surprising how easily Colombians have forgotten their own history and the part the U.S. played in the early 20th century in rending their country, by setting up a rival regime in the Colombian province of Panama, then creating a separate state out of Panama, because they wanted to build the PANAMA CANAL.
For Colombians collaborating with their Yankee exploiters, makes them look like the dumb Latinos that the U.S. always treated as inferiors throughout their history.
All praise is due Venezuelan President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias for all his hard work in obtain the release of the two hostages.
