All they've gotta do now is kill the paramilitaries, "accused of...terrorizing residents along Colombia's Caribbean coast". Well they know exactly where some of them are, and the rest are still at it.

There was an article in todays Miami Herald titled "Warlord admits killings". The story is about jailed paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso who at one time led an army of as many as 30,000 men and women. The 43 year old former rancher and rice farmer is cooperating with Colombian authorites naming congressman, generals and U.S. and Colombian businessmen he says benefited from the paramilitaries blood soaked rise. If he cooperates, his prison term will be no more than eight years instead of forty. Plus he will avoid extradition to the United States for hsi participation in the drug trade.

How many times do we have to go through this. The paras on the coast represent the people. Without the support of the people how could they control the entire area including its government apparatus? I mean geez, dude, you can go to Monteria and drive right up to their houses. It's not like they're hiding in the jungle.

Thanks,. I feel so much better informed now. My problem was: I thought "the people" might just include the displaced, the disappeared, the deceased, trades unionists and campesinos who dare to stand up for their rights/livliehoods. Sorry to try your patience.

john_stark says on Oct 28, 2007, 20:43:

I suggest that you take a trip along the coast from Monteria to Barranquilla and check it out yourself.

"take a trip along the coast from Monteria to Barranquilla"
It would be a beautiful trip indeed.
Start off with the beautiful city of Sinceleyo to the rich and green Malambo just before getting to Soledad and Barranquilla. Really beautiful scenery.

Alma del Norte says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:31:

Yeah, been there. A bit too hot for my liking. I don't know what you want me to check out JS, or are you inviting me for tea with a paraco? In any event, I think you've missed my point. Doesn't matter.

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:40:

you can't swing a dead cat by the tail in cuarramba with out hitting a paraco in the face and when you do run cus those modefoques don't like gettting hit in the head with a dead cat.

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:45:

my mother lives down in south barranquilla, she has no phone service cus there's a modefoque stealing the telphone cable wires, one call to the paracos and that modefoque is no more.

Alma del Norte says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:45:

Elmo. Do you have an alarm that goes off everytime someone on this site types PARACO?

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:48:

yeah i do, i was cleaning the toilet when the alarm went off and i ran to the cumputer,

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:51:

some people fear snakes, height, scorpions, spiders, FARC, PARACOS etc. and have nightmares about them.
You know what my biggest fear is, overflowing toilets!!

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 09:55:

what do you do when you see the water quickly rising in the toilet and about to spill over, like most people i panic, but the other day my professinal know how took over and I took care of the problem with out one drop of water on the floor.

kat1 (Moderator) says on Oct 29, 2007, 10:00:

tell us Elmo how did you do it?

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 10:03:

you lift the lit from the back and hold the floater (black ball) up

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 10:04:

be back in a few, got a toilet emergency.

kat1 (Moderator) says on Oct 29, 2007, 10:25:

is he still in the toilet? what did he had for lunch?

elmodefoque says on Oct 29, 2007, 11:45:

Sorry, had an emergency but is all cleaned up now.
Getting back to lovely Kat’s question.
The main thing to do in case of overflowing toilet is NOT TO PANIC and remain calm no matter how freighting and disgusting it looks. Ese mojon dando vuelta y casi listo pa caer en el piso.
Follow my instructions and all should be ok. And some people say ALL I talk is a lotta useless chit.

Mr. Hollywood says on Oct 29, 2007, 11:50:

Hmmm, and here I was always turning off the water at the wall where the little faucet knob is. Nothing worse than that panic of seeing rising turds about to spill over in a fecal cascade onto the floor.

I feel for you, Elmo, can't you file for stress-related professional disability?

kat1 (Moderator) says on Oct 29, 2007, 11:51:

JAJAJAJ a very handy tip Elmo

john_stark says on Oct 29, 2007, 21:56:

Your point was that the whole area must be filled with "the displaced, the disappeared, the deceased, trades unionists and campesinos who dare to stand up for their rights". It's clear to me you've never been there because I don't see the hordes of "the displaced, the disappeared, the deceased, trades unionists and campesinos" that you seem to think are all there. You sound like a guy who reads NGO press releases and believes all that BS.
