 BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Although results from a massive coca eradication program have been disappointing, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday night the overall U.S. assistance policy in Colombia is working and should not be abandoned.
"You don't stop in midstream on something that has been very effective," Rice told a news conference. "It took a long time to get this program started and it's going to take a little while to eliminate the problem."
Rice was joined at the news conference by Colombia Foreign Minister Carolina Barco after meeting with President Alvaro Uribe.
