I’m surprised that 0 has not already appologize and turn Columbia over to Baby Hugo.
Communists on the march in Latin America, and in their lexicon, if you’re not alone and defenseless you’re a “traitor”.
Ortega, head of the Sandinistas; Chavez, defacto commander of FARC. Morales, cocalero. What a lovely bunch of coconuts.
I just had dinner with a friend from Columbia. He was quite happy America was going to have those bases in Columbia. He is, I might add, a successful businessman here in America, and quite impressed with the Constitution.
Chavez and other commies such as Ortega and other commie wanna-be types are unhappy about the US bases, and they should be unhappy, according to my friend.
He hopes America will do to Chavez what we did to Noriega.
So do I.
;-)
Let me see... Putin (and the rest of the Neo-soviet bunch running the “Former” USSR) and Jintao will send troops in to counter the supposed US “Presence” in Columbia.
Somethings up here....
So much for the blood and treasure we spent to get rid of Ortega 23 years ago. Remember the Contras? Well, we evidently failed those fine people.
Last time the commies tried this in many Latin American countries, death squads went around hunting for them. What makes them think they won’t do it again?
Many death squads in Central America are hunting gang-members, it’s really quite easy to switch gears and go after communists. Especially when they are coming out of the woodwork.
Besides, many people in Latin America hate Chavez more than the US. Although with 0 that could be a close thing.
Isn’t enough STP fuel additive in the world to clear the sulfur and grunge out of the crude from Venezuela if used in tanks in planes. ExxonMobil is on the verge of winning a multi-billion dollar judgment against Venezuela and Chavez personally and federal agencies collectively for illegally taking over the plants/refineries in that country, violating public law and private contracts wholesale and without regard. The entire estate of Chavez and quite a bit of the country might need to be auctioned off, or could be liened by ExxonMobil.
News flash to Daniel Ortega... we also have aircraft carriers we can use to bomb you back to the stone age if you really want to mess with us!
