CounterPunch should have gotten a more accurate transcript to translate into English. E.g., this part:

Compare that with Aporrea.org's transcript:

"Ah bueno para venir acá a dar discursos, a vernos una vez al año, sí, para eso sí sirve, y para hacer documentos muy largos y hacer buenas reflexiones y oír buenos discursos como el de Evo ayer, como el de Lula, sí, para eso sirve. . . ." (at <http://www.aporrea.org/venezuelaexterior/n83899.html>).

"Primero: la expansión. Ayer lo decía Lula aquí mismo, del Consejo de Seguridad tanto en sus categorías permanentes como en las No Permanentes, dando entrada a nuevos países desarrollados y a países subdesarrollados, el Tercer Mundo, como nuevos miembros permanentes. Eso en primer lugar" (at <http://www.aporrea.org/venezuelaexterior/n83899.html>).

It's funny that Lula got metamorphosed into "Mullah"!
