Colombian President Ends Peace Talks After Hijacking, Military Begins Bombing Rebel Territory

The time has come, and its about time.

No more negotiations, not more peace talks. A terrorist is a terrorist and they won't stop til we are dead.

Oh, this was in Colombia? We should watch closely as perhaps we'll learn what it means to really take the gloves off.

Good! If they'd waited much longer, they wouldn't have had a country left.

I also think that this wouldn't have happened quite so dramatically if they hadn't gotten some at least tacit encouragement from the U.S. I hope our pathetic non-policies of the last 8 years in dealing with Latin America are about to undergo a radical change.

[hchutch]

All we have to do now is to remove the AUC from the bad list, and we will be in good shape in Colombia.

Carlos Castano's the guy I'd be backing if I were in charge of things in DC.
