“Oh, please, McCain had just as much to do with this as the blind guy selling pencils down on the corner. “
This was as coincidental to McCain’s visit as the Iranians releasing the American hostages the day Reagan was sworn in. NO damned coincidence at all.
This was a Colombian operation through and through. We provided some support, and indeed, Uribe advised McCain of the operation the night before. But this was a Colombian thing, brought about by the crack intelligence units of the Ejercito Nacional de Colombia -- not a McCain thing.
Posts like yours do nothing but unnecessarily attempt to lessen the achievement of our closest ally in this hemisphere.
I repeat: McCain had nothing to do with this. Until you can prove otherwise -- which would be when you could prove that pigs fly -- you would do well to put a sock in it, sir.
May God bless Colombia and President Uribe, may He damn FARC to hell, and may good fortune smile upon the released hostages for the rest of their lives.
