  • FARC kidnaps 3 Americans: Bush sends more troops

    Morning news here in California



    There is another recent thread on the Columbian Civil War. I'll get the link for that.

      Go FARC! Kill them CIA mutha****as.
      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        I couldn't find that other thread.

        Anyway, the rebels in Columbia said they would target Americans after the Bush Administration said that our military aid could be used in the war against the communist rebels. Now they have kidnapped three Americans. Bush is sending 150 more troops to the area which will exceed the amount allowed by Congress.

        This is bull****. We should never have even extended the war on drugs over there, knowing that the weapons would be used in the civil war. But that wasn't enough. It's now obvious that Bush wants to get US troops directly involved in the war.

        Also, I think that he may compare the rebels in Columbia to the rebels in the PI. That will include communists as terrorists. Who is a terrorist to Bush? It may seem to include more and more groups as Bush sees fit. Bush could start up the cold war again.

          The FARC is already considered an official terrorist group by the state department.

            Nice of them to admit the obvious.

              I wonder how many troops will have to be sent before I can call MtG on his comment that if we get involved in the Columbian civil war that he'd fly to Chicago and protest along side me (not that I'm in Chicago anymore).

                I'd hardly call 150 troops a serious commitment. Looks like a search and resue mission to me, che.

                  I hope that everyone agrees that these are CIA operatives, right?

                    The total will be 411 when they get there.

                    What do you think Bush is going to do if 411 can't handle it?

                      Che:

                      The drug war isn't going to work, but the FARC are still bloody terrorists.

                      Until Colombia is even more ruined none of the parties involved are going to sit and talk *honestly* about making peace, they're all too stubborn and confident in their "strength"....nobody can win, but no one has been defeated yet, so the war continues. Stupid.

                      U.S. involvement will either not be enough for an occupation or it will be half-hearted and aborted, so the future can't change too much....

                        And why should they be classified the same way as Al Qaeda?

                              Yeah, I get tired of reading about how FARC has crashed another airliner into a building.
