Chavez supporting FARC terrorist

In a communique carried on his Web site, President Alvaro Uribe said his government "reiterates its affection and respect" for the two neighbors.

But the Colombians described the raid as the most significant blow yet against the FARC.

And evidence found in the raid suggests that Chavez recently gave the FARC $300 million, Colombia's national police chief said Monday.

Speaking at a news conference, Gen. Oscar Naranjo said evidence in three seized computers also suggests FARC had given Chavez 100 million pesos when he was a jailed rebel leader.

Naranjo said other evidence in the computers suggests FARC purchased 50 kilograms of uranium this month.

"The revelations about agreements between the terrorist group FARC and the governments of Ecuador and Venezuela will be submitted to the Organization of American States and the United Nations," Uribe's communique said Monday.

Naranjo said the evidence also shows that Ecuador's minister of security met recently with Reyes, and that Ecuador had "an interest in formalizing relations with the FARC," according to an account published on a Colombian government Web site.

But Correa said Ecuador's only contact with the guerilla group was an effort to get hostages released.

The financial support for FARC is on top of Chavez's government's facilitating of the distribution of FARC cocaine through Venezuela to Africa and Europe with an intermediate stop in Haiti. The payment of $300 million to a terrorist organization should be a matter that the UN investigate. It true it is equivalent to an act of war against Columbia.

The NY Times also reported on the mutual support between FARC and Chavez going back tot he early 90s.

If Chavez decides to lead his troops in battle, I hope he wears that red shirt of his. Judging by his lack of competence he probably better wear some brown trousers too.
