By way of Reuters comes the following report on the current tensions between Columbia, Ecuador and Venezuela:
CARACAS (Reuters) - Latin America’s leftist leaders heaped more criticism on Colombia, leaving it increasingly isolated on Thursday in a crisis that has threatened political stability in the Andes.
Colombia, the United States’ closest ally in South America, set off a major diplomatic crisis on Saturday when its army crossed into Ecuador to kill Colombian Marxist guerrillas just across the border.
OPEC oil exporters and leftist allies Venezuela and Ecuador reacted by cutting off diplomatic relations, moving troops to their borders with Colombia and lambasting Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, who receives billions of dollars in military aid from the United States.
Colombian Vice-President Francisco Santos said he saw no risk of war with Venezuela or Ecuador despite military mobilization in the dispute.
“I don’t think there is a risk of war. The Colombian government has been very clear it won’t use force,” Santos told Reuters in an interview during a visit to Brussels for talks with EU officials. “It won’t fall into the game of provocation.”
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez was in Caracas on Thursday to meet with anti-U.S. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. A day earlier, Chavez met with Ecuador’s president, Rafael Correa, in Caracas. Correa later traveled to Panama to continue his anti-Colombia lobbying tour.
Chavez threatened on Wednesday possible government takeovers of Colombian companies in Venezuela, and said Venezuela could sell off investments it has made in Colombia.
He said Venezuelan mobilization of military hardware and troops was to defend itself against possible attacks from Colombia and the United States.

Because I have already heard the idea suggested that the United States would enter an armed conflict in Venezuela in the near future, I am watching this very carefully. You might believe that the U.S. would have valid reason for such a conflict because of Hugo Chavez and OPEC, but I am no longer so much of a jingo that I do not see the machinations of Globalists at work. Stay tuned.

We have no buisness down there. I personaly could care less if they all kill eachother. The domestic problems we face in the US are far greater and tbh its a crime against the American people that we are even sending money down there. How many of you voted for that donation to Columbia? I sure didnt.600mill++ a year to a country full of drug trafficing and constant strife?
This is all a ploy to pressure Chavez to drop his mission that involves ridding his oil industry of the $ and moving over to the infant fiat currency the Euro. Its the same reason we went into Iraq. Its the same reason we are pressuring Iran. If they all stop dealing in $s we loose control and can no longer manipulate them from behind the curtain.
If we as a country are not up for taking back our money and enforcing our laws we will forever remain in debt. With the last of the gold-backing gone the government is operating on credit. There is no limit to what they can spend. They simply increase the supply and dilute our $ more and more while piling on intrest as time goes on. The master controlers behind our fiscal matters(Fed) is a private bank like the rest of them with supreme control over our monetary system. This masterfull act of theft goes on without the knowledge of nearly any of the American people.
The key to almost all of our domestic problems stem from the existance of the Fed and the $ as it sits. Its funny how manipulating our $ is such a silent way to control the population and thrust us into war whenever the elite feel its needed.
The world now knows that the USA will go to war over the $$ and we are loosing friends.
Ordinarily I don’t comment on potential military operations but if I were Commander in chief this is what I would do. One morning you would wake up to me telling you that I have decapitated the regimes of Iran, NK and Venezuela for threatening the world with nukes. I would tell the people there that I have given them an opportunity to start anew, happy birthday! However, from here on out if you elect a leader that threatens the world we will hold the people responsible the next time. I would get them all in this way at the same time so that they couldn’t disappear upon hearing of the others demise. It would be a quick in ad out operation. I would immediately start targeting Sudanese military infrastructure and equipment with air power at the same time targeting Somalia in the same way. I would begin to squeeze them in between these operations until they busted like the pimples that they are. If the UN complained I would withdraw pending a formal apology for their behavior in the last half a century. I would stop all foreign aid to any non completely friendly and allied countries. I would reiterate Bush’s you are against us or with us and add that there will be no in between any longer. I would tell the Saudis that I know where the evil in this world is coming from and it is the imams, if they don’t completely reform I will destroy Mecca completely and irradiate it for a thousand years. After that I would turn my attention inward to the traitors among us no matter who or where they are, heads would roll property would be confiscated and sold back to you people. That would be a start, and then I would give myself some time to observe the changes i have forced and adapt and start in on round two.
