defense budgets, the Obama administration is looking to South America to
help monitor and protect the Asia-Pacific region in the years ahead.
During visits to Colombia, Brazil and Chile this past week, Pentagon chief
Leon Panetta underscored their importance as military partners in the
Pacific, where China is challenging U.S. influence in a number of countries.

economic and political ties across South America.
