High Times In Bogota
Because he speaks a smattering of spanish, the Deciderer in chief might feel a little more comfortable tomorrow in Columbia after lumbering through Brazil and Uruguay where they order their cervejas in portuguese. Of course being with fellow autocrat Alvaro Uribe in a country that sneers at human rights should make him feel right at home for a day.
The fascists in Columbia have been claiming that 'left wing guerrillas' were planning on some sort of violence during Bush's stopover, but in reality the biggest story is that Uribe's government is in meltdown because of revelations of close ties to paramilitaries, death squads and cocaine smuggling. Of course, such activity is actively promoted by the current administration as billions of dollars have poured into the country since Plan Columbia was instituted in 2000. Indeed, it's been proven over and over that Uribe is one of the top narco traffickers in Latin America.
"The release of a 13-year-old previously classified military intelligence document linking Colombia’s right-wing president Alvaro Uribe to drug traffickers has intensified the crisis of Washington’s most slavish supporter in Latin America.
A virtual “who’s who” of the Colombian cocaine trade, the report was issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in 1991. It was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the National Security Archives, a non-governmental research group based at George Washington University."
It should be pretty obvious what's going on here. Columbia is run by a fascist thug who terrorizes the population with secret police and death squads, and who oversees the biggest cocaine cartel that smuggles the drug to the US. Columbia comes in third in foreign aid money to prop this regime up, and in return it's deeply unpopular government is just another bootlicking, subservient client state. Uribe's cabal was the only SA government to sign onto the catastrophe in Iraq. Colombia's cocaine oligarchy is Bush's best buddy down there.
Next Stop: Guatemala! Pit stop on the cocaine highway!

Looks like an excellent opportunity to remind everyone of the Shrub's 'dope nose'. Will Bush bring home a secret stash on AF-One?

You bet it's possible, I've heard plenty of stories about current drug and alcohol partying.
He sure had a rep in his younger days, didn't he?
