They did not Defeat Uribe at Unasur

"President Uribe, who is a lawyer and, certainly, a statesman, orator y patriot defended the thesis of Colombia and his government in a way that, at the end, it won in this debate where hostility was the main characteristic in the first part of the conference. The hostility of those who were attacking him crashed against the soundness of his arguments and the firmness of his exposition. This was a victory for Colombia and also, because of his arguments, for the United States of America, which was being accused of installing military bases with aggressive purposes against the governments of the Southern Cone which, in great part, are enemies of the United States and allies of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez."

Atrevido says on Aug 29, 2009, 14:25: The US used the airbase at Manta for ten years with the agreement that it could be occupied by 475 US military personel. Nobody seemed very worried about that except for maybe some grug traffickers. And now 12 to 24 years in jail if you march against Chavez in Venezuela: http://www.eltiempo.com/mundo/latinoamerica/fiscalia-venezolana-advirt... https://sites.google.com/site/colombianaturesite/nature-images 0 funny, 0 helpful.
