Bush Makes Promise

-The president has pledged American aid in Columbia.



President Bush told Colombian President Alvaro Uribe that America will offer support and $600 million per year to Columbia should war occur between the country and Venezuela.



"I told the president that America fully supports Columbia's democracy and that we firmly oppose any acts of aggression that could destabilize the region," Bush told the associated press.



There is a distinct possibility that the country's actions could result in war between Columbia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. With Bush's pledge, American troops could be preparing to pack their bags for another war on foreign soil.



Columbia has been in conflict with Venezuela and Ecuador since Colombian forces killed Raul Reyes, a Colombian Marxist, who was on Ecuadorian soil at the time.



Venezuela and Ecuador considered the action to be a call for war.



With Bush's time in office coming to an end, his promises will have a direct impact on the next president's agenda while in the White House.
