"We are not going to allow our relationship with the United States to become that of Master and Colombia as the servile republic"

"We are loyal and sincere, we comply with this alliance with the United States"

"Why U.S. Congress did not protest in 2000 and 2002 when the country was in hands of guerrillas and paramilitary forces, and now that Colombia is coming loose from that grip they are horrorized?
