Correa Joining The Bandwagon

Like Chavez before him Correa is now calling for the FARC to give up the kidnapees. Of course he couldn´t give rat´s ass and hates Uribe for making him a baffoon but hey! you gotta go with the flow. And the flow is: Uribe´s the man of the hour.

El Heraldo paints a very different picture with the same interview. An excerpt:

"El presidente de Ecuador, Rafael Correa, adujo que el éxito de la operación que liberó a los 15 secuestrados, “no cambia la naturaleza del gobierno colombiano", por lo que la postura ecuatoriana respecto a la soberanía se mantendrá "mientras no tengamos un gobierno decente con el cual tratar en Colombia?. "

Didn't think it possible, but Correa gets on my nerves more than chavvie, at least chavvie can be entertaining, all correa does is whine like a little bitch.

The parts of the interview published in El Pais do not include his more direct comments on Uribe and relations between Colombia and Ecuador. You allude to this in your blurb, but it's not in the article as published by El Pais. El Pais makes it plausible that Correa is mostly condemning the Farc's practice of kidnapping. El Heraldo makes it much clearer that he's taking blunt aim at Uribe. At least I see a big difference between the two.

Who cares what that piece of shit says? If Ecuadorian history is any indicator, he will be out on his ass before too long. They love ousting presidents.

Here´s one caleño comment on the El Pais article:

Manuel / Cali

Por lo menos de algo le sirvió el doctorado. Se ve que correita aprendió a manipular las palabras. Lastima que para nada mas sirve el hijo de perra.

Yes in El heraldo the same old:

"mientras no tengamos un gobierno decente con el cual tratar en Colombia�.

I repeat: He doesn´t give a rat´s ass for the rescatados. He mimics Chavez backslide (in fact he mimics just about everthing from Chavez). So what else would you expect from this light weight, FARC manipulated Ecuadoran head of state?.
