Every time I see him on the news he reminds me of a 10 year-old walking behind the cool high school kids. It's so pathetic really.

That ignorant fool has no business meddling in Colombian affairs. He's done more than enough damage to his own country.

Managua`s La Prensa is reporting that a FARC commision is traveling to Nicaragua this week after Ortega`s public announcement desiring to meet them.

To me it`s rather not surprising the quickness of their response as FARC might be desperate for international support now that Chavez met with Uribe and apparently mended things.

Maybe we can ship the farc off the the people's paradise that is Nicaragua. With a people's hero like Ortega, it should be heaven for them.

I've been all over the world and to many sketchy places. However, I'd never actually felt nervous at an airport until I stopped in Managua for a layover on the way to Costa Rica.

Same here, when traveling to Costa Rica I decide to visit Nicaragua, I came running back to C.R. this was in 2003 and its really a Banana Republic, Managua was in shambles left over from the earth quake, what a rats hole, its one of the poorest countries in latin america, and how lucky are they to have the drunk, rapist, disheveld sandinista for a second term, like Jimmy Durante used to say "everybody wants to be in show business" so after Chavez and later whining Correa had they're share of saviers in the spot light, he is static to be next one in the limelight, Yeah I can talk to the Farts or to the warts or to whomever wants to knowledge my puny existance, yeah! lets open a bottle of rum and talk, Iam ready to bring peace to Colombia disguise in an attempt to resucitate the old nostalgic rebels of days goneby, but sorry Mr. bad hairdo Ortega, thanks but no thanks said Uribe, we dont need your help, so go back to the young guerilla girls party, Iam sure they are waiting for El Comandante in they're sexy guerilla lingerie.

Ortega is a child molester-he sexually molested his own daughter.

The man needs nothing but a bullet in the brain.
