Santos administration negotiating peace with FARC in Cuba: Uribe .
Sunday, 19 August 2012 19:52 Adriaan Alsema
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."
The former head of state did not give further information on the alleged negotiations between the government and the country's largest guerrilla group.
No member of the current administration publicly responded to Uribe's comment Sunday.

(160,219 posts)and I read over and over again the accusations Fidel Castro was harboring all kinds of FARCs in Cuba. Over and over again. As long as ordinary right-wing U.S. Americans can't go to Cuba themselves to find out what the heck Cuba is really like, they will believe ANYTHING these Miami "exiles" put out about the Cuban government.
Letting the rest of the country really go there, just like Cuban-Americans would bring this propaganda machine to a long-deserved end.

Got a question. Is it just me, or does Mrs. McCain's dress look as if it's too big for her,
and she simply put a belt around it to avoid having to get another one, after loosing weight?
Left side, behind McCain is Ambassador Brownfield, who impressed Venezuelan parents at a
little league ball game in Caracas so much, when he paid them an unannounced visit, and
started passing out baseball balls, gloves, etc., that they gathered eggs and other items from
a local store by the baseball diamond, hopped on their motorcycles, and roared along the
highway trailing his limousine, bestowing his car with gifts of eggs, tomatoes, etc.

Not long afterward, Bush transferred him from Caracas to Colombia.

His debating techniques could use a little sprucing up. [/center]
