Who Were Those "Gringos"?

Over at the Campaign Spot, the most bizarre news yet to come from the South American crisis.

The following came from a memo recovered from the terrorist leader that the Colombian military killed in Ecuador:

The gringos called for a meeting with the minister to ask him to tell us they are interested in talking about several topics. They claim they new president in their country will be Obama and that these people are interested in their fellow citizens. Obama will support neither Plan Colombia nor the signature of the Free Trade Agreement.

So, this begs the question - who are these "Gringos" who are dealing with FARC, a terrorist organization, and how do they know (or why do they claim to know) how Obama would act as President?

For some reason, it brings to mind the story of Ron Dellums and Grenada.
