South American Thug Backs Down
- Posted by Justin Higgins on March 7th, 2008 in
There have been quite a few stories running over the past week or so about Hugo Chavez gearing up for war in South America. The good news today, is that the thug is backing down, probably because the prospect of cruise missiles crashing into Caracas got to his head. Brazil wasn't too happy about Chavez's decisions either. The toning down, via FOX News:
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Heated accusatiosn broke out Friday at a Latin American summit over a border crisis between Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, but the crisis appears to be over after the three countries' presidents exchanged handshakes.
FOX News' Adam Housley, reporting from the summit in the Dominican Republic, said the three leaders declared the standoff over and called for peace.
The longer we witness his thuggery, the more it appears that Chavez is all bluster and no substance. He's unwilling to go to war, which is a very good thing for the rest of us, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take him seriously. He's still a neo-socialist thug.
An Update on the Thuggary
From my understanding...
From my understanding these "rebel leaders." I love how FARC terrorists are called this by the way. But anyways, from my understanding they were being tracked from inside Colombia and into Ecuador. That would indeed be hot pursuit.
Hot Pursuit!!
Well then Justin, the only exception would be "hot pursuit". Can Colombia prove they where in "hot pursuit"? From what I've read they cannot.
Again:
I read it
I read your view of the situation, and it seemed obvious to me that the Colombian government was well within the realm of "hot pursuit" in taking down the terrorists in Ecuador.
Sigh!
I guess you didn't actually watch and/or read my previous post. Nice demonization of Chavez though. Please watch and/or read my previous post for a more balanced reporting of the situation.
