So Mujica is willin to take 10 to 12 of his fellow terrorists and set them free to attack again. Okay, we can accept that. But on one other condition. If any one of these terrorists does anything, Mujica and his wife die!

“The statement would also come as a great boost for Uruguay's ongoing litigation with Philip Morris regarding some commercial practices forcibly banned by Uruguay and which are contrary to the terms of an investment protection agreement signed with Switzerland, the country where the tobacco company headquarters are located.”

So what has it got to do with Obumma? It's a bit like Obumma and the red-necked yanks thinking that BP is still British! The reality was of course that Obumma KNEW it was not British, but he never resists a chance to attack the UK over the alleged bad treatment of his Muslim father by the Brits.

But Mujica will be hailed a hero when he returns. What a pity they couldn’t swap the mossies for him: I think we would get the better of that deal.

“According to Mujica, Obama in private told him “governments have an obligation to guide public opinion”, so that “we can expect some political announcement relative to the issue and the litigation”.”

Governments have an obligation TO GUIDE PUBLIIC OPINION“
?????????
Did I just read that in the 21st Century?

Stalinist, no?

Call me naive, but I thought our ELECTED Representatives were to be guided by OUR opinion??

Is this another crap translation by Mercopress?

I'm gonnna check...

Also;
”“The president is too intelligent ...“

I am genuinely PMSL!!

Going to the loo!
Back now. To Laugh!
oh and this
”However “since it was a private meeting I won't tell you what we talked about”, said Mujica”
means I got bitch-slappedd and put in my place, and I really don't want to talk about it.
PS: Pass the butter...
