Columbia was finally fortunate enough to kill some of the vicious FARC terrorists that they&#8217;ve been battling for years and Hugo Chavez thinks it was a &#8220;<a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080306/D8V7MANG1.html" target="_blank">war crime</a>.&#8221;</p><p>Although <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080305/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/colombia_farc_laptop" target="_blank">new information</a> that Columbia has made public in the last couple of days may help to explain the bizarre reaction of Venezuela&#8217;s tyrant. Columbian authorities are claiming that a laptop plucked from the remains of one of the dead terrorists shows that Hugo Chavez has been a FARC &#8220;sugar daddy&#8221; for quite some time now.</p><p>The documents on the laptop reveal that Chavez has been a financial backer of the group for more than a decade, and at one point gave FARC a $300 million dollar gift. The documents also reveal an ongoing plan cooked up by Chavez and the leaders of the terror group to isolate and undermine Columbia&#8217;s President and U.S. ally, Alvaro Uribe.</p><p>President Uribe is the first leader of Columbia in decades that&#8217;s not up to his eyeballs in corruption and is actually angry that Columbia has the highest kidnapping rate in the world. With the help of the U.S., Uribe is hoping to wipe out FARC once and for all.</p><p>The recovered laptop reveals detailed communications between FARC leaders and Chavez, in which multiple scenarios are laid out to hopefully get rid of President Uribe.</p><p>Hopefully, someone will have Hugo Chavez killed so that we can be rid of this petty dictator. If he&#8217;s allowed to live he will destroy Venezuela and live to a ripe old age just like his best friend Fidel Castro.</p><p><em>-Chris Jones </em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/06/chavez-calls-the-killing-of-farc-rebels-by-columbia-a-war-crime/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Columbia Says Chavez Is Funding FARC Rebels</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/03/columbia-says-chavez-is-funding-farc-rebels/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/03/columbia-says-chavez-is-funding-farc-rebels/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 04 Mar 2008 04:28:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[World News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Columbia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FARC]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hugo Chavez]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Venezuela]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/03/03/columbia-says-chavez-is-funding-farc-rebels/</guid> <description><![CDATA[From the AP: Venezuela and Ecuador sought Monday to make Colombia pay a high price for killing a leftist rebel leader in the Ecuadorean jungle—expelling its diplomats, ordering troops to the border and cracking down on trade across the border.
