[Army Air Corps]

Hugito and Barry are saddened that their pals were “punked.”

¿Alguien sabe cómo se dice ‘nanner, nanner, nanner’ en español?

I wonder who the “friendly aid group” was supposed to have been?

[DesertSapper]

the pilots subdued the rebel commanders

For the FARC, I hope "subdued" later includes more chopper rides these vermin do not come back from.

This is really gonna be the nail in FARC’s coffin.

As word of how spectacularly they were tricked gets out, they will be the laughingstock of Latin America.

I like the line I heard on “Nightline” last night, that the Columbian special operators posing as the friendly “aid worker” pilots were wearing Che t-shirts for good measure.

Concerned that these 15 were part of over 60 hostages that the narco-murderers are holding.

Prayers for the ones still in captivity.

Interesting that pariah groups like FARC and the Shining Path terrorists have a network of “aid” groups that keep them supplied with all the comforts of home, like heavy duty helicopters, weapons and cash.

It's like they were North Korea or Hamas.

Also wonder if the leadership has already had a purge among its ranks.

Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos said Colombian military intelligence managed to infiltrate the top hierarchy of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia

I hope this is disinformation. Does it make any sense to publicly explain how this happened?

Should have worn Obama T-shirts.

Thanks for that info. I hope the word gets out there.

[SnakeDoctor]

I think there was an episode of The Unit that was almost exactly like that.

[popdonnelly]

A Jimmy Carter look-alike would also have been good cover.

[chuckles]

When this comes out I believe we will find out the laptop that was captured when the FARC big wig died gave all the names and phone numbers. What we need to know is why Obama’s people were working with FARC. Maybe this is the Oct surprise Hillary is waiting for.

FARC will be suspect of itself, wondering how many spies are still among them, and "aid workers" who have been aiding FARC will be more reluctant to do so.

Sow distrust of the heirarchy and the organization will begin to implode.

A second performance would speed this up tremendously.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"the Columbian special operators posing as the friendly “aid worker” pilots were wearing Che t-shirts for good measure"

Obama t-shirts would have worked just as well......

[McGruff]

...the pilots subdued the rebel commanders...

Well I certainly hope they let them go. While they were still in the air.

[Little Ray]

They need to find FARC’s “friendly aid group,” shut it down and “disappear” its leadership.
