“...Ecuador and Venezuela have been supporting the communist rebels and their terrorist war against Columbia, and they were afraid that stuff taken from this success would prove it. The bluster is meant to cover that fact and put Columbia on the defensive...”

I completely agree. The documents that the Colombian military found that link Ecuador’s government and the FARC were too embarrasing. And Chavez has long been openly calling for the drug cartel to forcibly take over Colombia. Both countries have been openly harboring these terrorists/kidnappers/drug-runners for years.

The Colombian ejercito should be able to handle this, but we should provide support as is prudent and needed. It truly is a tragedy how Castroism is spreading in South America.
