Sounds like an equitable deal to me!

The President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, has said we will only agree to an extension of the US Air Force's lease on Manta air field on the countries coast if the US will lease Ecuador a military base in Miami.

"We'll renew the base on one condition: that they let us put a base in Miami -- an Ecuadorean base...If there's no problem having foreign soldiers on a country's soil, surely they'll let us have an Ecuadorean base in the United States."

I haven't smiled this much in weeks.
