Colombian President to Visit DC

President Uribe of Colombia to Visit Washington

The President will welcome President Alvaro Uribe to the White House for a meeting on March 23. The President looks forward to discussing with President Uribe the many ways we can work together to further strengthen our partnership and achieve our common goals with respect to security, trade, and justice.

Look for a lot of anti-terrorism rhetoric from both Presidents, especially Uribe, who knows that the key to additional funding is strengthening the likage between the FARC and AUC to terrorism.

Indeed, terrorism is the new communism: the best way to get the US to support your country's policies is to be part of the war on terror, the same way it used to be the case that to get funding and support one had to be a staucnh anti-communist.
