Why Santos Did Backflips for Castro -?

http://www.capitolhillcubans.com/2012/08/why-santos-did-backflips-for-castro.html

This is right winger Mauricio Claver-Carone's blog. Wondering how to parse what he's saying/implying/implanting since it's probably false information. I hadn't heard of these supposed negotiations. What is Claver-Carone up to here?

It's becoming increasingly clear why Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos did backflips for the Castro dictatorship during this year's Summit of the Americas gathering in Cartagena.

Apparently, Santos was willing to eviscerate the democratic principles of the Summit process in order to protect his negotiations, hosted by Castro, with the narco-terrorist FARC.

Yet, his "deal with the devil" doesn't seem to be bearing successful results.

In Colombia Reports:

The administration of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos is holding secret peace negotiations with the country's largest guerrilla group FARC in Cuba, said former president Alvaro Uribe Sunday.

During a speech in the northern Colombian city of Sincelejo, Uribe said "it's incomprehensible, the security deteriorates and the government is negotiating with the terrorist group FARC in Cuba."

He must be the "brain" behind Miguel Saavedra's stunning career as a public spectacle.

Back when we saw the news Santos agreed with the other countries that OAS must drop the pathetic charade of pretending Cuba doesn't exist, most people thought it was about time Colombia had a President with a grasp of reality.

Little did we know, the Miami "exiles" were pitching fits, chewing their tongues, eyes rolling around in their empty skulls. Probably started plotting their big move to assassinate Santos, and claim the FARCs did it.

Crazy!
