It's 3pm. This is not a drill.
Evo Morales is convening a special meeting of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) to discuss the Colombia-Ecuador crisis, which has resulted in movement orders affecting the armed forces of Ecador and Venezuela, and the armed forces of Columbia.
Bush doesn't like Morales, and he really doesn't like Chavez, to the point of toying with Venezuela as an alternate last-playground for his adventures with cordite.
Before the end of the week all three camps are likely to be on record, either supporting Uribe against those rebels in the jungle, and foreign safe-havens for narco-terrorists, or ... with some other message, perhaps about social justice as a principle of government more present in the Venezuela and Ecuador of Chavez and Morales than in the Columbia of Uribe, and narcotics being something other than terrorism, and negotiation generally a better choice than midnight massacres of rebels, in another country.
The phone is ringing. Will all three let it ring, unheard, or will some take the call, and go on record? This is not a drill.
