There’s great concern in Venezuela that this agreement and an increased US military presence in Colombia could be used to threaten neighbors in the region, author and attorney Eva Golinger told RT.
“And one of the issues that is of most concern is the fact that both the US and Colombia have been unwilling to reveal the terms of the agreement,” Golinger added.

“US-Colombia agreement means more civilian deaths for Colombia”A tighter agreement and arrangement between the US and Colombia can only mean more deaths and more attacks on civilian population, Professor Adrienne Pine from American University told RT. |
Like any other foreign meddling, this one will backfire too. Just one more war to finance, as if we are not already broke. Today I heard the most hillarious thing on radio. It was a bad day on the Wall Street, and some analysts are starting to believe that --- US consumer is at fault! Since our economy is 70% consumer spending, the fact that the consumer are spending less --- what a discovery --- economy cannot recover! I am wondering if this is a question of our public IQ, or what? So, without incomes rising for a good while, housing values falling and with it cash equity, and no credit available --- we are supposed to be spending to keep the economy up? But we are doing our patriotic duty and supporting over 1,000 military bases worldwide in over 180 countries. Those countries are counting on our spending to keep their GDP. Not to mention, many a dignitary there is counting on our generosity to send their kids to top schools, have a posh home. It always seems that whereever we land, there is a crime kingdom on the rise. Opium in Afghanistan never saw it this good, and the human, arms and drugs trafficking in Kosovo --- is blossoming. Columbia is just keeping with tradition. Never mind that the rebels, the FARC is against drugs trade, and that the Columbian elite is up to their eyeballs in drugs profits --- yet, we will go along with the dream.
Now of course bad things aren't real, which means terrorists and terrorism aren't real. Having said this, if you want to play games then it should be recognized that until Russia and Chavez decriminalize drugs then they should be seen as terrorist, like certain people in the USA and Columbia. Locking people in tiny cells for years on end for having plants and chemicals that are as bad as alcohol and NICOTINE is terrorism!











THE PACT: Uribe signs a contract of utmost importance. He can not submit it to the people for approval, because it allows the assination of leftists and opposition leaders. He does not ask the approval of the parliament, because they will not sign the los of sovereignty of Colombia. He does not reveal the contents because he has something to hide. Then as pressure increases by senators this demagogue Uribe says that both national and international communities have the right to know, but… next week. Why not now or tomorrow after some US specialist work all night in order to make it more presentable? No! They must study how US will have the maximum of agreed rights without provoking a scandal. US owns a license to kill, and every time names its victims terrorists. THE REASONS FOR THE INTERVENTIONS: The era of easy coup d’ etat is over. Today can still be ordered but can not be maintained. US diplomatic and other personnel can no longer participate in covered operation, thus the great need for a country like Colombia to undertake the carrying out of special operations. US has lost its grip on the decision making and in the exploitation of economic resources in Latin American countries. The principal persons that prevent the continuation of the US hegemony are Hugo Chaves in Venezuela, Rafael Correo in Ecuador, Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, and Evo Morales in Bolivia. WHAT KIND OF INTERVENTIONS: Evo Morales says that Colombia knows every thing he says on the telephone. Ugo Chaves says that the attempt to devide his country with the white ones posseding the main oil forages was conducted by Colombian DAS agents {“Departamento Aministrativo de Seguridad”. The DAS agents arrested last week were carrying documents shown in parliament that proved that the target countries are mainly Venezuela, Ecuador and Cuba. Why were they also collecting such detailed information about Ugo Chaves?
