” I hope our attention span is broad enough to cover him “
What attention span??
In case you haven’t noticed, virtually *NOBODY* is paying attention...
Even here on FR - the sharpest, most astute and aware group of people I’ve ever encountered - there aren’t more than a dozen or so of us that actually follow these events closely....
(And we have to work our butts off to get the necessary information)
Evil deeds are afoot......
ok Ike - I’m convinced.
I now have Columbia, Venezuela and Ecuador new site bookmarked and will keep the other half an eye on it.
ok - here is the real deal.

Colombia Files Show Chavez Funded FARC, Rebels Sought Uranium
By Helen Murphy
March 3 (Bloomberg) — Colombia’s police chief Oscar Naranjo said documents from the computer of a guerrilla leader killed last weekend in Ecuador show links to Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.
The documents on the computer of Raul Reyes, the second in command of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, indicate that Venezuela provided the guerrillas with at least $300 million and would help Chavez in the event of a U.S. attack on Venezuela.
Naranjo said the FARC, as the group is known, was seeking to buy 50 kilos of uranium for bomb making with aim of getting involved in international terrorism.
