“Keep Your Friends Close–Your Enemies Closer”

barzinisantos

On right: Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos–who as Colombian Defense Minister ordered the attack that violated Ecuador’s sovereignty and killed (Cuba-backed) FARC comandante Raul Reyes– chumming it up yesterday with FARC mentor and suitor, Castro.

“Thanks to Fidel Castro we are now a powerful army, not a hit and run band.” (FARC Comandante Manuel “Tiro-Fijo” Marulanda in a 2002 interview)

  1. I never bought Santos–don’t trust him. He’s a “zorro,” an operator who wants it both ways and overestimates his cleverness. I do admire Colombia, certainly relative to the rest of Latrine America, but Colombia’s only interest in Cuba (which it equates with Castro, Inc.) is what Cuba can do for Colombia. That was clear with Uribe, and it’s very clear with Santos.

  2. asombra,

    These days no country south of the US border can be trusted to stand up to the Castro tyranny.

    There isn’t enough intelligence and principles in latrine America for that…
