Tell me again why Obama wants to be so chummy with Chavez, while at the same time refusing to push through the free trade agreement with Columbia that has been languishing for years? No, all Obama seems to want to do is to reinstate a Chavez ally in Honduras. Huh? Well, the good old Colombians continue to fight the good fight, and Venezuela continues to stick their sticky beaks where they don't belong.

Colombia has seized a number of anti-tank rocket launchers from guerrilla camps. The weapons may have been originally sold to the Venezuelan army before an arms embargo in 2006.
