wrong, i like Obama and don't like Bush. but you contradict yourself too many times and a period once in a while in your sentences wouldn't hurt. so i am ten years old but you still ask who I am voting for? and what are you talking about it? did you even read what i wrote previously? do you practice being this stupid or are you just a natural? cause i don't remember talking about the causes of why we went to war. so your whole little paragraph serves no purpose.please stop embarrassing yourself.

Are you happy now that everyone knows you don't have brains?

I wish we could see more of the chair she's sitting on, lovely piece of furniture it seems...

Dear moronic youchoobers who leave innocuous comments full of vulgar ways of venting off your ineptitudes: Ingrid is a great human being, who apart from being so well spoken in at least 3 languages from what I've heard, she sacrificed her own life by postulating herself for the presidency of Colombia, got sequestered from her family and friends for 6 years and that's all you leave here? your smut-filled comments? I salute your endurance and faith Ingrid, which have nothing to do with Uribe.

Eldest8a,probably you put eldest,just to pretend to be a Old man,but you are a 10 yrs old,Bush is a completed dumbass,republicans violet the costitution,this stupid war was a lie,it was all about oil,for big corporations,who are makeing big money,the country is an bad shape,who do you blame to 9/11???,you are a stupid moron,who leave in a bubble.Let me guess??,you are voting for John McCain right

I never said the US. I did mention "Bush" and "the current administration"


Dont be telling me that "war is hell." what if those who died are your family, your friends, your relatives.

This is the funniest thing I ever heard "there is not a direct correlation between collateral damage of a WAR and an imperial nation"

So you're telling me that the Gulf war dint served any national security interest???



By the way, I am a US Citizen who loves his country but hates Bush with passion..

still you. there is not a direct correlation between collateral damage of a WAR and an imperial nation. war is hell. people die. get over it. and even if Bush is a complete dumbass and violates the constitution by torturing people in Guantanamo, it doesn't mean that the US is an empire. we are losing billions of dollars trying to keep Iraq safe after Bush's F**k up. do you honestly believe what you preach?

Go read and watch videos of what this administration did throughout the 8 years. Do you know how many Iraqi civilians died to date? What do you know about Guantanamo ?
What do you know about Palestine ?


Who is the ignorant now?

Chavez is a pig who switches stance every other week to suite his crazy leftist ideology. do not dare tell me that zillion people like him or that the US promotes imperialism. your would just be lying to your ignorant self.

if there were traitors, they would talk for their benefits! they are not stupid!!! and i am part of the 90% who support our president Uribe.

jajajaja ya le comente al estupido este a ver con que otra barbaridad nos contesta.

Que desgracia con esta gente ignorante, ademas de ser brutos, se dan al trabajo de exponerse a la burla publica.

Dios miooooo qué están haciendo con el españól!

solo se que esta aveces se sale con la sulla aprobechando la cituacion.. quiere ser precidenta de colombia y le toca esperar a que uribito se muera por que estamos con la reeleccion
KARLA

And whats your problem with Chavez ? Is it because he oppose the Bush's imperialism ?

I have much mad respect for Chavez myself and zillion others throughout the world.

i don't trust her at all. i don't know why but i just feel she is very deceitful. she talked bad about the Colombian president and called Chavez one of the most important and influential leaders in South America who she admires. plus she has done constant non-stop interviews with everyone. frankly i just want her to shut up and not mess with Colombian government. She needs to adjust to reality.

No buddy! you're the one who needs to do a little reaserch! The colombian army freed her and 14 other hostages, including 3 american contractors. Our government has 83% support and since Uribe became president we have recovered our territory, and we feel way safer, so don't come with your "woo I've read half a biased document" cheap talk, read more than 1 article, talk to the people who know and then come talk about our country.

It wasnt the Colombians and it wasnt improsonment it was a kidnap by farc. btw 90% of colombians are agains em. and she was taken as political hostage althou there are 700+ civilians taken for money.

Well ur just telling the Farcs version here... they took a week to make this up lol and with no proves. btw the suposed traitors are jailed. so if u take Farcs version as true ur the one that needs to check ur facts a little bit. Farc obviously dont whant gov to take the credit.

al jazeera is owned and operated by fundementalist muslim zealots.

u gotta do a litte research before talking,the three us hostages were not contractors but govt agents.Plus,the colombian govt didnt set her free,they just took advantage of a treason inside the medium command chain of the guerrilla.The colombian govt, the paramilitary and the guerrillas are all involved in drugdealing,that is why is important to the US to keep contro over colombia.Since Uribe´s govt, cocaine exports to the US have grown rapidly,he gave Escobar the intl flying permits in the80´s

She has been talking S**t about the very Colombian administration that set her free. I think that documentarydude might be right about the R**e part. Seems she should have stayed there with the drug dealers
