Ambition without action is failure

Yeah right! He is ready like the others to sit his A Square Sauce in Georgetown, collect a big salary and have nothing to show for it.

CARICOM should be a comic strip. It would sell more papers.

After all the horse-trading among the governments and financiers of this regional financial black hole to emerge with a compromise leader of the Secretariat, the awardee comes up with this crap. Give me a freaking break!

If you have nothing important to say just shut up. Take the salary and like the others go through the motions of appearing to be working hard.

Everybody knows that for the moneys expended, CARICOM is not working hard for it, but is hardly working. It is moribund.

If I were PM of my country I would waste time and money on CARICOM. I would insist on observer status and only send permanent secretaries to the heads of government meetings.

These other leaders and the Secretariat together is one hell of a big joke! They belong to a pack of cards! Regional BS-ers!

The West Indian Federation failed because of him and others, and he has been looking for redemption ever since.

It's very difficult to harbour any hopes that CARICOM will ever become functional and useful. Its stock in trade has been to hold extravagant meetings full of pomp, vacuous speeches and ceremony that have done nothing to advance the interests of the average Caribbean citizen. It is indeed telling that CARICOM Heads are not in the least ashamed at the dismal fate of the reams and reams of costly reports they have commissioned over the years. If they were ashamed they would have burned these reports rather than leave them on the shelves of CARICOM's library like trophies to standstill-ism and do-nothing-ism. Any leader or consultant who advocates the enlargenment of CARICOM as the key to its future should be hauled out before a verbal firing squad. What has membership of the ACS done for CARICOM? Very few CARICOM heads can speak a word of Spanish, so at the very least more money will be required to pay translators and interpreters (not for the heads of the DR and Cuba) but for CARICOM heads. With this language deficiency consider the cost to the region of attempting to negotiate and implement a trade agreement with the DR or Cuba. But given that CARICOM heads are so eager to embrace Latin America, what steps have they taken to accelerate the learning of Spanish in their islands and countries? CARICOM has been comatose for so long now, a decision must be taken whether to disconnect its life support.
