He is not taking the credit, but nobody should ignore the importance of him being there today in Colombia supporting the Uribe government, who gets a lot of criticism from the Democrats. That, has a lot of significance, plus we shouldn’t keep ignoring South America like we have for so long. The thread of Chavez still looms in the region, and Uribe is our ally. McCain meeting with him, is a good sign.
More on the operation, from the noticas24 article;
Seems like the Colombian military has infiltrated the FARC “secretariat” and somehow fooled them into ordering moving the hostages.
They followed them into boarding a helicopter which turned out to be from the Colombian military. At that point they were “neutralized”.
They are currently flying the hostages to San Jose del Guaviare, then they will be moved to the Tolemaida aerial base 190km from Bogota. Hope we see some video tonight.
CIA was involved in locating hostages.
“Neutralized”, I like the sound of that.
Welcome home Marc, Thomas and Keith!!
Really? Where did you see that info?
