I guess Chavez really does follow his buddy Castro's lead. Payoffs from drug traffickers is presumed to be how Castro accumulated most of his $600 or $700 million fortune
oh, you mean like the Contras and the Bush / Noreiga connection.
I assume you have some solid evidence for the claim (from outside the Miami disinformation network hopefully) because others disagree (and yes I'm aware of the French investigation a decade ago, but they turned up nothing after quite a bit of digging).
If you want a better idea of the transit routes and the intrigues, and who really gets the bucks this is your book...I finished it last month, it's fascinating..

And yes, to achieve this, Uribe has had the Army kill a bunch of FARC guerillas. Good on him. In order to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs. God only knows how many people FARC has killed over the decades it has been waging a civil war, and more recently it has been into drug trafficking and kidnapping. Lovely chaps. The more of those that are dead, the better the world is.
my death squads are better than your death squads.....

I understand that this was by no means the full scope of Thatch's activities at the time. BBC footage from the Orgreave protests were seized intitially as "evidence" and later held under the official secrets act.
and that shown by the BBC at the time had added "riot" sound effects..it caused quite some fuss when it was exposed later....

Neil, my understanding is that the US DOD is independent of Gustavo Petro

As for Cuba...I like their rum.
And their cigars.... thighs or not

Like I said James, the good death squads.....Suharto turned Indonesia around too but was responsible for god knows how many deaths.......money is no absolution. There are plenty of questions about the man, all of which are handily ignored because it politic suit Washington.
I'm sitting with my father in law who spent a week in a Cuban public hospital two years ago (his third visit there) and he would ever so politely like to suggest that you look beyond the disinformation out of Miami........but there is lots of it no? And a willing audience stateside.....

There are no good sides in the Colombian conflict, just the most popular bad guy
Ahhhh...the good right wing death squads.....not the first time the USA has found those in Latin America....our death squads are better than your death squads

Chavez models himself on Castro, and look how Castro has ruined Cuba.
yep that universal free health care and universal free education is a bummer, and all those people in Pakistan, Java and Iran who benefited from those teams of Cuban doctors after their various natural disasters are well pissed off they were so good at their jobs.
After Java many of the Cuban doctors came to Bali and freely gave of their time to the local kids instead of taking the free R&R given to them by the Cuban government before they returned home...
