Agreed. The “resolution” is a good for many a reason, but ever the cynic I see this as a face saving move on the part of Chavez and Correa.

Any aggression on the part of Chavez with his sycophant Correa in tow would have meant the end of them, and I think they are at least alert enough for self preservation.

They knew that URIBE had the goods on their deallings with FARC and was ready to show the world Correa and CHavez were in bed with FARC. Hugo knows if he pushes this too far, it will be the end of him.

Little reported in the USA, but widely known elsewhere was when Hugo wanted to steal the Constitutional election recently, it was the army that stopped him. They told him they would not send the troops to put down the citizens if they rioted when Hugo tried to make himself dicatator for life. Even though Hugo replaced a lot of Generals with his cronies, many of the junior officers have no affinity for him. I think thw army told Hugo this time that if he wanted war with Colombia, they would not co-operate. I predict within 5 years, it will be the army which deposes this tyrant.
