Impressive guy !!
Makes one wonder what was on the computers of Chavez’s butt boy who got a dirt bath earlier this year, courtesy of Columbia?
This makes one hell of an impressive combo with a Great Seal in command of this mobile fire power and a real understanding of how to use and how not to use Spec Ops.
Candy Gram time for Chavez?
Friday I posted this comment re the recovered laptop:

Official: Laptop reveals ties to Ecuador
By ALEJANDRA LABANCA
New documents a Colombian government official says were retrieved from the computer of slain guerrilla leader Raúl Reyes show FARC’s ties in Latin America may be more widespread than previously reported. Some of the documents, obtained by The Miami Herald, indicate that a leading member of Ecuador’s constitutional assembly, charged with reshaping that country’s political landscape, may have been a longtime supporter of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
María Augusta Calle — also the head of Venezuela’s Telesur TV network in Ecuador and a supporter of President Hugo Chávez — let the rebels use her bank account for at least one transaction and helped promote their ideas through another news agency she directs, the Colombian offical said.
In two e-mails dated June and July 2006, a woman who signs as ‘’Alicia’’ corresponds with someone she calls ‘’friend’’ in one of her e-mails and ‘’Darío’’ in the other. She talks about personal matters, current affairs and media strategies.
