Chavez offers to mediate talks with FARC
2008-07-11
Hugo Chavez is offering to help mediate possible peace talks between Colombia and The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
I think Ribbentrop offered to mediate between the Sovs and the Germans, too.
Chavez says he spoke with recently released hostage Ingrid Betancourt and she urged him to join her in seeking the freedom of all captives held by FARC. He said in a televised speech Wednesday "we are willing to help" with any negotiations on hostage releases and peace efforts.

The Venezuelan president played a key role in negotiations that prompted the FARC to release six hostages earlier this year. But Colombian President Alvaro Uribe abruptly ended his involvement in November after accusing him of overstepping his mandate.

#3  Chavez is like a special-ed kid but president of a whole country. 4 Words define him: abraisive, ignorant, hypocritical, pompus.

#1  Impotant Chavez wasted $300 million on the FARC and he didn't get 1 hostage out of the hundreds.
