it didn't appear he imagined he'd be issuing a modififying statement later on the same subject. He seemed firmly convinced that there were no FARC camps, period. End of subject, say no more.
It probably would have been hilarious seeing Uribe after he heard that, after all the noise he made for YEARS claiming the Venezuelan President was harboring terrorists. There were terrorists there, all right. HIS AUC terrorists, sent there to kill Chavez a couple of times we know about, at least, all the way off in the States, drowning in corporate-dictated crap.
Hope he'll be keeping a list of the times Uribe has made him take it in the shorts publicly for his own face-saving. Hope he broods over it, developes a super-sized grudge, then, when Uribe least expects it, goes after him in a way he'll never forget, becoming his worst nightmare, even worse than having the para-nightmares Uribe used against others coming after him, Alvaritito.
