#1 But do they prove that Venezuela was actually financing the FARC's bid to overthrow a democratically elected government? That's not clear.

It really pisses me off when Journo's try to pass off their opinions as news.

#2 Those traitors at State are backstabbing the US Government again.

References to U.S. diplomatic overtures are scintillating, if vague.

In a Dec. 11 message to the secretariat, Marquez writes: "If you are in agreement, I can receive Jim and Tucker to hear the proposal of the gringos."

Writing two days before his death, Reyes tells his comrades that "the gringos," working through Ecuador's government, are interested "in talking to us on various issues."

"They say the new president of their country will be (Barack) Obama," he writes, saying Obama rejects both the Bush administration's free trade agreement with Colombia and the current military aid program.

I am SERIOUSLY pissed at this. Someone needs to GUT the frikken state department.

These people are undermining the security of an ally and thwarting the orders of their boss, the President.

Find them and FIRE them *and* their supervisors. Fire the FOR CAUSE - and the cause would be insubordination and being traitors.

#3 They need to be tried and shot for treason. The State, the CIA and most other government agencies are completely corrupt and only working for the dhimocrat, socialist and communists side of the fence.

#4 Rep. Connie Mack just proposed a bill declaring Venezuela a state sponsor of terror so he can't sell his oil to the gringos either!

#5 I'd like to see that sawed off little prick try to hock his heavy-ass crude to anybody that thinks they can refine it. See where his buddies Iran and Russia are then when he has a pipeline full of oil and nobody to sell it to.

#6 note that the State Dept, while an incompetent despicable trash heap of pompous assholes, is simply following the lead of Nancy and Harry, who snubbed Uribe on his last State visit, due to their concerns with alleged past transgressions (which, of course, outweigh the Columbian pro-America stance and anti-communist, anti-narcotraficante acts). Blame the Donks first, vote McCain in, and scream loud and hard about cleaning the State Dept Augean Stables
