Sen. Barack Obama has taken note of the last attack of Colombian military forces against FARC, but misses the key detail: the attack took place on ecuadorian territory!
On previous statements, Obama has clearly supported the "right" of The USA to attack any country where they assume terrorism is hidden and the local government isn't able or isn't willing to stop the threat. Now, Obama has made cristal clear he will support any other attack by Colombian government on any other country.
Sen. Obama offers to work for international isolation against any country they assume bonded with terrorism. The "tiny" problem is that american government decides which organization is or isn't terrorist (let's remember: FARC isn't a terrorist organization according to the UN ) and they also decide which government they assume support or doesn't support terrorism.
In this print statement (page 7) , linked from the official website www.barackobama.com , shows Obama's point of view on Ecuador-Colombia struggle:
Promote Security and Combat Drugs in Colombia: The U.S. and Colombia have many important shared
interests. For more than 8 years, the U.S. has provided roughly $700 million a year to fight drug trafficking.
We need to continue efforts to support Colombia in a way that also advances our interests and is true to our
values. We must support the creation and reinforcement of robust civilian institutions in Colombia that
contribute to lasting peace and to ending the decades-long reign of terror perpetrated against the Colombian
people by illegal armed groups of every stripe. Given the devastating impact the drug trade has on the U.S. and
Columbia, we must continue to do more to work to reduce the drug trade. Barack Obama supports continuing
the Andean Counterdrug Program to the U.S. strategy to combat narco-trafficking in Colombia. He will
enhance the program and broaden the involvement of Colombians, while reducing its reliance on American
contractors.
The Colombian people have suffered for more than four decades at the hands of a brutal terrorist insurgency.
Last March, Colombian security forces targeted a senior Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC),
leader, and Ecuador and Venezuela moved troops and tanks to their borders with Colombia, bringing hostilities
to a boiling point. But this must not be used as a pretense to ratchet up tensions or to threaten the stability of the
region. In an Obama administration, we will support Colombia’s right to strike terrorists who seek safe-haven
across its borders, to defend itself against FARC and we will address any support for the FARC that comes from
members of neighboring governments because this behavior must be exposed to international condemnation and
regional isolation.
This speech was held last friday on the Cuban American National Foundation Luncheon and is shown on this video:
For the Ecuadorian Interest, We Should Hope Obama Does not Become the next "leader of the free world", unless I Changes on this historical policy isssues.
