Peru's Garcia talked to Correa and Uribe after Colombia's Ecuador raid

Peruvian president, Alan Garcia Pérez, telephoned Ecuador's president Rafael Correa and Colombia's Alvaro Uribe to calm the diplomatic dispute that arose after a Colombian strike against FARC rebels in Ecuadorian territory, said today Prime Minister Jorge del Castillo. "Peru trusts that the historical ties between Ecuador and Colombia are stronger than any circumstantial differences", he added. Last Saturday, Colombian troops killed a top rebel commander in an attack on a jungle camp across the border in Ecuador in a severe blow to Latin America's oldest guerrilla insurgency.

García calls for OAS meeting to solve Colombia-Ecuador political crisis

Peruvian president Alan Garcia Perez has proposed an urgent meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) to overcome the diplomatic crisis between Ecuador and Colombia, and strengthen cooperation against terrorism and drug trafficking. García said that the Colombian raid into Ecuador was unacceptable and  considered President Uribe's statements on alleged ties between the FARC rebels and Ecuador's President Rafael Correa as a worrying issue. President García added he would try to talk with his counterparts in Brazil, Panama, Chile and the OAS General Secretary, Jose Miguel Insulza in order to arrange an immediate meeting. “If the OAS does not react immediately, it would lose value and presence”, he said. He highlighted that this meeting must remain a “clear” commitment among the region's countries not to intervene in other country's issues. (ANDINA - click here to see article)

If a country like Ecuador can not administer there borders and keep an offensive force from using there territory to launch strikes, raids against a neighbor. It is in the best interest of both that the offended party(Columbia) assert its legal right of self defense to destroy this rogue element for the combined safety and harmony of the collective region.I've been there and done it. Long Live Columbia.

What is all this talk about the supposed LapTop found at the camp site? The capitalist pigs make the claim that they discovered were I funneled $300 million dollars to FARC. This is all lies that is reinforced by the United States to under mine my efforts to to suppl,----errrrrrr I mean make peace with FARC in order to secure the release of all hostages being held by FARC. Besides, don't they relize that I have out lawed the dollar currency in my country? $300 million dollars indeed. Just ask my Comrade Ollanta Humala. I would never involve my self with another countries affairs. Do not listen to this CapitanDan my friends. He is nothing more than another CIA stooge hired by the Peruvian Government to sabotage my efforts to develop peace and bring stability for all the peoples of South America.

Hola Hugo, I thank you for the kind words(CIA Stooge).Those words are my own thoughts, something I could not express if I was in your country,Cuba, Communist China, Russia and Iran. Yes Hugo, your country is now moving towards this despicable group of  despotic ,intolerant nations. As for the CIA or any other organization attempting to stop your downward spiral into a Socialist state. Don't worry you are your own biggest threat. Remember the saying, "Give him enough rope and he will hang himself".Everytime you open your mouth 50 feet of good hemp unravels.I will stay in Peru where I can still speak my mind on a Forum like this and not worry of the "Thought Police" .Have a nice day Hugo while you can. Long Live Peru.

Comrades, my good friend, comrade Hugo, has said that our FARC comrades in the struggle for drug money...er, I mean freedom from the Colombian government's oppression are not terrorists but freedom fighters.  And what's more, I believe Comrade Hugo when he says he would never make any deal behind the back of the boot licker of the imperialist yankees (Colombian president Urribe) to secure the release of the hostages held by FARC.  There absolutely was no sale of arms or transfer of $300 million in cash to FARC by comrade Chavez.  After all, comrade Hugo was voted the sexiest man in Venezuela....not withstanding the magazine publisher had an AK47 to his head when the magazine went to press.  Remember that Comrade Chavez wants peace and stability in the region.  His popularity at home is less than 30% but that is garbage made up by CNN and their capitalist pig spies.  ¡Vivaaaaaa  Ché......vrolet!

I can't supress a smile reading all this crazy analogies.  It is insurgent to the introspective thingy going on as we speak between Ecuador and Colombia.  I strongly agree with CapitanDan with his idyllic way formulating this, but what H. Chavez has nothing to do with this.  Ollanta Humala is long gone already, no one likes him anymore.
Long live Peru, Peace out!
