Terror: Some city in the world owes thanks to Colombia, which on Saturday blew away a terrorist seeking uranium for a nuclear bomb. Instead of thanks, we see only fury at Colombia over its incursion into Ecuador.
Using American training and satellite technology, the hit took out a member of the FARC's inner circle for the first time, ending all illusion of safety at the top. Identified by his Rolex watch, the Marxist thug had a $5 million price on his head.
Better still, Colombia's well-trained armed forces seized three of his computers with some surprising contents: A FARC plan to buy 50 kilograms of uranium to expand into international terrorism.
Colombia's victory followed a series of powerful blows against other FARC leaders. As defections from the group rise and the terrorist leadership is decapitated, a picture emerges of a war being won after nearly 50 years of fighting.
But outside Colombia, do we hear "congratulations"? No.
We hear complaints from nations such as France, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile and Italy that Colombia's forces went into Ecuador chasing a terrorist, violating its "sovereignty" — even though, as documents show, Ecuador helped Colombian guerrillas make themselves at home in that country.

Congratulations from Georgia! {now go get some more!}
Uribe has done a masterful job in Columbia against FARC, people do not remember the previous Columbian regime that allowed FARC to carve out a homeland in the jungles of Columbia.
The Ecadorians need their heads examined, or a criminal probe launched, if they are upset over a master terrorist being killed inside their borders upsets their apple cart.
“Foremost among them, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez screamed outrage, calling Colombia a “criminal” state for rubbing out the Rolex revolutionary. He then advocated the overthrow of Colombia’s democratic government and sent 10 tank divisions and 6,000 troops to the Colombian border. He ordered Ecuador to do the same, raising the specter of war.
That’s bad enough. But Reyes’ computers tell an even worse story — that Chavez has been a state sponsor of terror, secretly funneling $300 million to the FARC. Ecuador, too, was surprisingly neck-deep in “commitments” to the FARC.”
I wonder how much, if any, of this will see airtime on the national news in this country.
Leftist and useful idiots continue their liberal fascism accross the world. How dare we get in the liberal brownshirts’ way of free pedophilia, terrorism, exploitation, torture, illegal immigration, communist suicide, drug traffic, nuclear traffic rights, islam support, dumbing downs at schools and what not other degenerate behavior?
They’re right, history does repeat itself as a farce of now degenerates in complete denial who find private virtue to be in the way of their causeless angers.
Why is Chavez still alive.
I think the French and the Italians need their heads even more examined. To have such nations become groupies of such third world crappy dictatorships like a bunch of loose drunken hyppies at woodstock shows a lot.
Don’t these fool realize that ultimately the allies of such fascists are in the way of the same said fascists? That they as useful idiots are certainly not welcome in the end? It’s just like in the movie 300, Xerxes could care less about his losses, just as the UN messianism and leftism of agonizingly late (whose followers do not get that the Soviet Union has to be passe’) is probably more wroth of their interfering presence and lack of self sacrifice in outright suicide than they are of the US right wingers.
GO GET A GRIP LEFTISTS AND USEFUL IDIOTS OF CNN AND WHAT NOT.
Another success in foreign policy. President Bush is to be commended for establishing a climate of trust and cooperation with friendly South American countries who will take action against drug dealers, terrorism or the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
I find problems accepting some of President Bush’s domestic agendas but have no problem with his foreign policies.
“Why is Chavez still alive?”
Because contrary to leftist moaning, the US is a moral country at the end of the day, when the VZ Generals arrested Chavez and had him on that military base, a simple “We respect the right of the Columbian People to choose their leaders” from Colin Powell could have had a .223 bullet in the back of Chavez’s head...end of story..
Instead the State Dept issued a condemnation of the arrest and a desire to see VZ returned to Chavez.
Now he and Evo Morales are hip deep in La FARC slime, we have ourselves to blame or praise for that happening.
Liberals in congress will go OUT OF THEIR WAY to interfere with Columbia’s effort to defeat the commie savages in the jungle.
Liberals are hard wired to protect thugs, dictators and savages. They simply can’t help themselves. I’ve argued for years that liberals are nothing but petty criminals with suits.
The reason the former Colombian regime “allowed” FARC to get away with carving out a huge part of the country as a refuge was that Bill Clinton insisted on it and this was Clinton’s “plan” for dealing with FARC. Bush has been awful on Latin American strategy in general (Hugo should never have been allowed to get to where he is now), but he has been good on Colombia and has given the Colombian government the support to do what needs to be done.
Bill Clinton was a FARC boy at heart - leftists with all that cocaine? What more could he want?
Yeah, but he could have slipped in the tub, or fell on a knife nine times, or something.
In Euroland, the concern is over Human Rights, much more so then Justice, so Italy and France can be safe and PC by decrying the operation.
Meanwhile, a Rolex Revo is dead...deader...deadest...perhaps he is discussing the “Inevitability of Historical Processes” with his Maker at the moment?
Either that or safely ensconced where the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not....
can’t argue with that one, Bubba was a Internationale Boy at heart, and who cares about a few thousand square miles of Amazonian Basin Jungle?
A couple of less the obvious points:
1. The Cocaine Kingpins were Anti Commie at heart, yet they formed alliances with FARC after the US pressured the Medllin boyz..
2. Bubba Clinton demanded and got the disarmament of paramilitary units in FARC contested areas..these folks fought FARC and their leaders were extradited to the US for it.
3. The longest currently active POW cases involving the US is in Columbia, 3 US Army advisers have been held be FARC sine the year 2000 or so...these folks are not Friends of the US.
4. Chavez is using the refusal of the US Congress to ratify a Trade Pact with Columbia as a “proof” that the US will never deal with South American countries as partners, only servants.
The Trade Pact with Columbia is one of the few that I support, we would put a thumb in the eye of Morales and Chavez if such a pact were ratified.
Ah, yes, the massive armored forces of Venezuela would not even make for ONE good armored division (and how long would it take some A-10s to obliterate this force):
Armor (Venezuela)
Tanks and combat vehicles
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

I agree. The President has taken the fight to the enemy and I have a feeling that 18 mos. from now we will be wishing that he was still in office. The fact that chavez has been funding farc is huge.
