Colombia Warning

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Wednesday, May 23, 2007 4:20 PM PT

Latin America: As U.S. allies go, we can't get one better than Colombia. It helps us a lot and now seeks free trade. But all it gets from Congress is a slap in the face. We now risk losing a vital ally.....

President Bush is also duty and honor-bound to kick Iran a new asshole — but don’t hold your breath.

You throw the term ‘ally’ around like they are sacrificing their nation supporting us. Ally went out fad after WWII.

Secondly, Pres. Bush has been aloof watching our backyard in SA and Latin America. Of all thats going on, watching our Southern neighbors should have been a priority.

Have there been any comments from Bush, Hillary or Obama about this situation?
I haven’t been able to find any.

“The next time the Arabs attack Israel, should we just let the two parties “pummel each other into the dirt”?”

Israel did handle its neighbors by itself in 2 wars, and even took out one of our ships to boot!

“If Chavez gave FARC $300 million, President Bush is honor- and duty-bound to treat Chavez like the terrorist he is.”

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You mean like the $500,000,000 Bush recently gave the peace loving Islamofascist, suicide bombers of Fatah, or perhaps how he was honor bound to recognize the independence of the KLA Mohammedan terror statelet that he and McCain have been financing for years in the Balkans?

If we had stayed out of it and left Israel alone they would have already ‘taken care’ of the Arabs. But no, we have to stick our noses in at every turn and put them on the road to ‘peace’.

Yes. We can take care of ourselves.

Re: Hugo Chavez ordered ten tank battalions to the Colombian border...

I looked around and found the Army of Venezuela Tanks and combat vehicles are:
86 AMX-30V Main battle tank- (82 AMX-30V +4 AMX-30D)
36 AMX-13C.90 Light tank
78 Scorpion 90 FV-101 Light tank
42 Dragoon 300 LFV2 Light tank
and a hint of a few Leopard 2.

One enchanted evening a few A-10s might find this a target rich environment!

I favor cluster-bombs. Puts terror in infantry troops.

Anyone who wants to see Colombia pummeled into the dirt is either ignorant of geopolitics or making the comment based on ethnic bigotry.

Possibly both.

Might be an opportunity to take that S.O.B. out ! He has been a thorn in our side too long. Thanks to him, gas prices have been high since 1999/2000. Then we can take their oil.

Yeah but it's a quagmire with salsa and that makes it all worthwhile.

So you like a communist country, alied with Iran, undermining the sovereignty of a democratic ally of ours?
