Is Venezuela Going to Invade Colombia?

A summit of Latin American leaders has resulted in an accord between Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who had blamed the United States for the crisis as he sent tanks to the border with Colombia, joined in shaking Uribe's hand and applauded loudly and smiled.

If it was this easy to resolve, why send troops to the border so quickly?  Maybe it's my suspicious nature, but I don't trust Chavez to abide by this.  It's too drastic a turnaround from his recent rhetoric and out of character.  Look for some new excuse for Chavez to actually send in his troops.  And if/when it happens... remember where you heard it first.

International Criminal Court to Take Swift Action

I'm sure that once the ICC gets the particulars, they'll just jump on this like... like a ... I got nothing.  They're not going to do a thing.  The only ones they go after are despots after they're out of power and anything that will harm the United States.

"Colombia is proposing that the International Criminal Court charge Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela, for the support and financing of genocide," Uribe told journalists after meeting with an ex-congresswoman who was recently freed by the FARC after more than six years as a hostage.

Sorry Colombia, the ICC wasn't my idea.  Not at all.
