Bogota.- President Alvaro Uribe announced a visit by Dominican Republic par Leonel Fernandez in the next few days, as part of the process to mediate for and improve relations between Colombia and Venezuela.

In press conference after returning from Montevideo where he attended the inaugural of Uruguay’s new President Jose Mujica, the Colombian chief executive said Fernandez’s visit was confirmed to Dominican vice president Rafael Alburquerque.

“This morning I spoke here with the vice president of the Dominican Republic. He communicated to me that president Leonel Fernandez will visit us in the next days,” Uribe said, and hailed Fernandez’s leadership and ongoing efforts as mediator between Colombia and Venezuela.

“He has been leading that group, of the Rio Group of countries which wants to help restore the good understanding, as it should be, between Colombia and Venezuela,” the Colombian chief executive said, adding that he awaits Fernandez’s visit and affirmed that he’s ready to collaborate in this process “with all enthusiasm.”

GREAT!!!.....Another distraction, to prevent the coward from doing his work.


Acts of cowardice have long been punishable by military law, which defines a wide range of cowardly offenses including desertion in face of the enemy and surrendering to the enemy against orders. The punishment for such acts is typically severe, ranging from corporal punishment to the death sentence.

I wonder if the conversation would go like this:

Leonel: tenemos que incrementar la cantida de cocaina que entra al pais, necesito mas billetes, pero con mas cuidado, no quiero lios.

Uribe: No se preocupe usted hermano que tengo esto bajo control y como a usted sabe que nadie lo investiga en su pais nada le va a pasar.

Actually the conversation would more likely go like this:

Leonel: Mis intereses tienen que ver con alcanzar a ser secretario general de la OEA

Uribe: Ave maria pues mijo! cuando gane el PRD nuestra mercancia la podemos
exportar a Europa y EEU. usando su pais como puente, ¿ cuando son las elecciones parcero?
