Bush hosts Colombia president at ranch

Bush arrived on Tuesday at the ranch where he will run the nation's business for more than a month. While he has a homestyle meeting with his best Latin American friend, a State Department official back in Washington is admonishing one of Bush's most verbal critics in the region, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.

Venezuela is destabilizing the border area with Colombia by supplying weaponry to the nation's oldest and largest rebel group -- Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia or FARC -- Nicholas Burns, the State Department's third-ranking official, said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
