RE: New presentation, slide 17'Columbia is just a future election away, from going the way of Venezuela". Yes, but, say what you want to about Pres. Bush (and I, having voted for him twice, with the alternatives being unthinkable, can say plenty of negative things about GWB), he and his staff seem to understand the future importance of Colombian heavy crude, and are doing everyhting they can, to aid the Uribe cause. Problem is, what will the delusional basket case do (Evita P. Clinton)if she is elected, with Colombia ? My worry is, that while she busily goes about ruining the US economy, she'll pull all aid to Colombia, and destabilise the situation. If a Guliani or Romney were to be elected, think we'd be safe, through the next Colombian election, given the strength of the Uribe economy.
