DodgerDogs comments on Colombia's President Al Uribe As for real Colombianos most outside the big towns hate Uribe, and voted for him from pressure at the polls by his AUC buds. Most Americans hate Bush but voted for him o the 9/11 fear ticket. As for commies , just because I do not listen to rightwing radio broadcast and buy pain pills for Rush Limbaugh, does not make me a commie. I believe in Jesus and also free enterprise, but hate para dogs.

DodgerDogs comments on Colombia's President Al Uribe Death Squad Leader: I "Funded Uribe" 'Breaking' news today: President Uribe is linked to narcotrafficking paramilitary death squads. We say 'breaking' because, as the below article mentions, these allegations have followed Uribe since early in his political career, and some of us have been noting the fact for some time. The BBC reports on the most recent development in the so-called 'para-politics' scandal that shows Uribe's complicity in the murders of thousands of Colombians: A drug lord imprisoned in US has said that he and his illegal paramilitary army funded the 2002 election campaign of Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. Diego Murillo, aka Don Berna, was one of the heads of the AUC, which demobilised after a peace settlement... Don Berna was the successor of drug lord Pablo Escobar in the city of Medellin. He then joined the brutal AUC, or the United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia, as it fought, often in cahoots with the military, to destroy the Marxist rebels. The article goes on: Ever since Mr Uribe started his political career, he has been dogged by accusations of links with right-wing paramilitaries. During his term as governor of the province of Antioquia the AUC was born, flourished and spread across the country, leading to the deaths of more than 100,000 Colombians. Currently there are 77 congressmen under investigation for links to the AUC, nine of whom have been condemned. Almost all are supporters of President Uribe. Despite the denial, the scandal is unlikely to die quietly as Don Berna has not yet finished delivering his revelations. We've said it before and will say it again: if this global trade regime is a race-to-the-bottom (and it is!) then Colombia, under a death-squad linked President, is in the running to win. Eyes on Trade will keep readers posted on further developments. Technorati Tags: Death Squads, Don Berna, Medellin Cartel, Narcotrafficking, Para-Politics, President Uribe

DodgerDogs comments on Just be happy not everyone is living in a Rush Limbaugh Fanatsy world like Tasco and Simon. The real Colombia has its para problems and that is rebel groups like FARC and ELN and Abril 19 formed. DAS has corruption from top to bottom, but is not alone most agencies here have palanca.

DodgerDogs comments on Colombia's President Al Uribe Simon, The FARC front I belong to , is called justice and equal rights for all Colombianos ( race, creed or relegion ). You seem to have a love and passion for a Colombia that only exist in your mind, one day explore Colombia outside the towns, get to know the people and see for yourself Colombia is a graet place, but it still has its displaced and poor.... Simon,I am sure you have pride for Colombia, but please respect others opinions and when they disaagree with yours do nott insult them, just agree to disagree.......

DodgerDogs comments on Colombia's President Al Uribe The A.U.C. President looks like the slimy skinny rat he is. Lets hope he one gets what his drug dealing father got. ( Street Justice FARC style. ).............. Uribe is a Para and always has been, his only support outside rico para circles is from fear tactics at the polls, his approv rating is from cobardes afraid of punks like Aguila Negra and other para punks. Colombia hoistory will show he is guilty para dog................ I do not support the FARC but, they have shed less then 1% of the blood and fear tactics Uribe and his Para friends have shed..............................................

DodgerDogs comments on Colombia drug lord 'funded Uribe' Obama on Latin American Trade: Muddled and Confused Uribe—Latin America’s Most Disgraced President • Honored in Washington, Uribe is scorned throughout Latin America for being Bush’s favored hemispheric figure. However muffled the language may be, President Uribe is destined to be Latin America’s most scorned president in modern times. Condemned by voice and written denunciations throughout the hemisphere, Uribe did manage to solely win enthusiastic, if almost meaningless praise, from lame-duck President George Bush, who saw nothing wrong with Colombia applying Iraqi-style tactics on Ecuadorian territory. Even the most accommodating analyst would have to inform Uribe that he has just finished the most catastrophic week of an already catastrophic presidency and effectively the demise of his presidency and influenced on the hemisphere. There is no question that, ironically enough, Farcista Raúl Reyes has posthumously inflicted the most devastating and lasting defeat on Uribe. Metaphorically speaking, Reyes has scalped Uribe and then hung the Colombian leader’s tattered presidential sash upon a pike and walked the macabre sight through the streets of Latin America. A Heavy Burden to Bear At the end of the day, the price of gunning down Reyes will prove to be excessively high for Uribe. On going negotiations for the release of scores of FARC-held hostages, which has eagerly sought after by Uribe, have been unquestionably terminated, at least for the foreseeable future. Reyes was the FARC figure most identified with the hostage-release dialogue with Colombia and European intermediates. In the past, Reyes was the FARC official most engaged in talks that had taken place with high level figures abroad, working for the release of a number of FARC detainees, particularly Ingrid Betancourt, whose freedom was especially sought after by the French, due to her holding both Colombian and French citizenship. Additionally, Reyes was said to have maintained liaison with Venezuela’s efforts, which had been abruptly guillotined last November, when Hugo Chávez was sacked by Uribe as Colombia’s unofficial negotiator. By ordering the killing of Reyes, Uribe guaranteed that former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt will remain in guerrilla custody indefinitely. A Man for Few Seasons Uribe cultivates a hard-line image that brooks no flexibility when it comes to visiting affliction upon the Farcistas, which has won him considerable popularity within Colombia. But it is a popularity that is more broad than deep. As for FARC, it is not a soft and fuzzy organization at all, but it must be understood that all of their actions have an end in mind. Behind the drug trafficking and kidnappings lies a resolve to obtain the freedom of their imprisoned comrades and to guarantee their own securities. Yet here again, Uribe’s instincts were antipathetic to a rational assessment of how to peacefully resolve on internecine strife that had been going on for decades, with honor and with homage to the Colombian nations. Now prepared to retire from office, the Bush administration already has reached the nadir of its popularity on the Hill and when it comes to its Latin American policy, no one can suggest that it was even faintly credible. In fact, Bush’s policy was a parody of a policy; in effect, with no exaggeration, it could be called an anti-policy. Uribe is unlikely to witness the U.S. Congress passing a beneficial trade measure on his behalf. In terms of the high price that Uribe is being forced to pay, the toll is there to clearly be seen. The Colombian president does not have a compelling reputation which can make him proud. Uribe is anything but an apostle of democracy. He is armed with a grim personality that is far more Dick Cheneyesque in its import than Helen Keller. He had no problem with packing the country’s Supreme Court after unsuccessfully trying to convince its members to decide in his favor that the Constitution in fact allowed him to stand for re-election. Nor did the U.S. make much of a fuss when, for a token guilty plea and a minimum prison sentence, AUC vigilantes are guaranteed against being extradited to the U.S., even though the extradition policy had been at the heart of Washington’s anti-drug strategy. Another sore point is Uribe’s reputation for playing fast and loose when it comes to personal matters of corruption, and his years of very murky connections to some of the country’s worst rightist extremists. He has worked tirelessly to provide these AUC extremist vigilantes (classified as “terrorists” even by the State Department) to see to it that their future isn’t bleak even now, many of the people who Uribe protected from doing jail time have gone back to a life of major drug trafficking. In a recurring scandal involving Uribe, some 35% of the legislative representatives of his conservative party have direct ideological and/or financial arrangements with these death-squads. Nor should it be forgotten that even the State Department acknowledges that the AUC was tolerated and afforded sweetheart deals by Uribe while it still was carrying out massacres of trade union leaders and hundreds of other civilians.

DodgerDogs comments on Uribe Out Of Control Uribes human rights record sucks. The man is 100% PARA !!!!!!!!!!!!! July 3, 2008 McCain defends free trade with Colombia Forrest Hylton: McCain visits Colombia and positions himself as the man who will "retake" Latin America ↿ BACK Republican presidential nominee John McCain began a two-day visit to Colombia on Tuesday. McCain and his wife Cindy met President Alvaro Uribe at the Colombian leader's official retreat. The Arizona senator was also accompanied by two of his top supporters, Senators Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman. McCain is a strong supporter of a proposed free trade agreement between the US and Colombia and he planned to promote it during his visit. "The free trade is an important issue, not only for Colombia but I believe for the economy of the world and as you know for the United States economy," McCain said His Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, opposes the Colombian agreement, which has stalled in the House of Representatives amid concerns about continuing intimidation and violence against labor leaders in the country. According to the Medellin-based Escuela Nacional Sindical, a labor research institute, more than 2500 trade unionists have been killed in Colombia since 1986 including 39 murdered in 2007 and 31 so far this year. More than 400 of these killings have come during President Uribe’s administration. Before his departure, McCain had been urged by human rights and labor groups to take a strong stand on Uribe’s human rights record. John Sweeny, President of the AFL CIO said: " Hundreds of trade unionists have been systematically murdered, tortured, kidnapped and threatened by paramilitary organizations during the tenure of President Alvaro Uribe. Yet Sen. McCain will tout the supposed benefits of the proposed U.S.-Colombia [Free Trade Agreement] in the resort city of Cartagena, Colombia, while ignoring the real threats that workers in Colombia face every day." McCain also had meetings with other government officials and business leaders and a tour of a naval base before departing for Mexico in the evening. Some say that the visit by McCain, Graham and Lieberman could be about more than trade agreements. We spoke to author Forrest Hylton.

Weaknesses: -- Aging air force of Mirages and Kfirs. -- No tanks. -- Some units seen as only adequately trained; human-rights questions remain. VENEZUELA Strengths: -- Firepower provided by Russian-supplied weaponry, including 24 Sukhoi-30, 10 Mi-35 helicopter gunships and 100,000 AK-103s assault rifles. -- 189 AMX-30, AMX-13 and Scorpion 90 tanks. -- Artillery firepower with 155mm and 105mm howitzers. -- Addition of modern Russian submarines in 2009. Weaknesses: -- No combat experience. -- Logistical problems. -- Mission to support "Bolivarian revolution" distracts from training, demoralizes ranks. -- Chavez favors loyalty over professionalism.

DodgerDogs comments on Colombia: Latin America’s Hidden Gem for Investors Uribe has many blind supporters,like Bush and his keep USA safe policy. .The man friends include Ochoa the late Pablo Escobar, and his main political circle is in jail or being indited for Para crimes. The man sells of promised land in Choco for more African Palm oil, and has sold out the revunes of Colombias coal reserves to Drummond. The truth be told Uribe has been real good for Colombias elite, and very bad for Colombias poor,under his watch - meat and basic things like milk ,eggs, promasa. sugar , rice and such have risen 30% in the last 2 years. Colombia can not afford another Uribe, and the USA can not afford another GWB, as the two are both SOBS ( Uribe and Bush )

DodgerDogs comments on Uribe Out Of Control Los Angeles Times This editorial appeared in Wednesday Aug. 27's Los Angeles Times: President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia is possibly the most popular elected leader in the world. The military's dazzling rescue of hostages held for years by leftist rebels, including Franco-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and three American military contractors, coupled with his successful attacks on the guerrillas' drug trafficking, have led to approval ratings of which most politicians only dream: On a bad day, support for the president dips below 90 percent. Kidnappings and murders, although still astronomically high by U.S. standards, are at their lowest levels in 30 years, and Colombians finally are optimistic about an end to their decades-long civil war. Now, Uribe's supporters are urging him to seek a third term; they have amassed 5 million petition signatures, enough to begin the process of amending the Constitution to permit him to run in 2010. Uribe himself has been quiet on the subject, but it's time for him to speak out and say: No, thank you. Colombia's Constitution already was amended to allow Uribe to seek a second term in 2006 -- the legitimacy of which is now being questioned by the Supreme Court. Another such effort casts doubt on the president's commitment to democracy, sliding him into the same unsavory category as Hugo Chavez, who makes no secret of longing to be Venezuela's president in perpetuity. Progress against leftist rebels should not be the sole measure of Uribe's tenure. Also crucial is his ability to strengthen the governing institutions on which Colombia's struggling democracy depends. For all its improvement, the country is still rife with corruption and violence, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia is not the only culprit; almost a third of the Congress, including members allied with the president, is either in jail or under investigation for links to right-wing death squads and/or narco-traffickers. Uribe's proposal to strip the Supreme Court of its power to investigate Congress only exacerbates the sense that he and his supporters intend to subvert the democratic process. We applauded Uribe for not attempting to sway the court when it indicted his cousin, former Sen. Mario Uribe, hopeful that it was a sign of a maturing democracy. Even without running again, Alvaro Uribe can have enormous influence in shaping the future of Colombia. Anyone he anoints as his successor is almost guaranteed to win. Also, the Constitution permits another Uribe candidacy in 2014. Should the drive to amend the Constitution move ahead, it must survive four debates in Congress and a review by the courts before a referendum could be held. But Uribe can stop this process now, and choose to strengthen Colombia's democracy by standing aside.
