Israel wins rare victory in Latin America with Colombian President Calderon announcement at World Jewish Congress meeting in Bogota.

After suffering a series of diplomatic defeats to the Palestinians in Latin America, Israel won a rare victory on Wednesday when Colombia announced that it would not unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.

Now we know why The Kenyan Muslim doesn’t like Columbia, or its President. But he sure gets on all fours for his buddy Chavez in Venezuela, doesn’t he?

Viva Calderon, Viva Columbia. I wish America had a leader who would stand along side of Columbia in support of Israel. I guess we will have to wait until 2012 for that, God willing.

I guess that Colombia can forget about its free trade agreement with the US under the Obama regime.

Obama HATES Colombia. Well, he and all the left hate it, and the Islamists are certainly piling on, too.

Ever since he took office, he has done everything possible to undermine the country and stymie its (non-Marxist, capitalist) growth.

Makes sense, considering they have their own home grown terrorists who would like to carve up Columbia.

“Colombian President Calderon”

“Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos”

Well - which is it - Calderon or Santos?

I think of the line in “Good Morning, Vietnam”

Great Britain recognized the island state of Singapore.

How do you recognize an island? Do you go, “exc— Hey, wait. No, don’t tell me.Wait, wait. Didn’t we meet last year at the Feinman Bar Mitzvah?”

“You look a lot like Hawaii. Didn’t we meet last year at the Peninsula Club? No.”

I don’t think that would work. They’d both figure out pretty quick that nobody was going to ransom those hostages!

President Calderon is the president of Mexico.

Santos is the president of Colombia.

I think whoever edited this article needs to lay off the Benadryl.
