I can't say how I know this, but this has already been going on for quite a while. I guess this just makes it official. Bush was more of a secret keeper.

Clear and Present Danger. Tom Clancy knew it before Bush did.

THis will really ruin the relationship we have with colombia..

Maybe we should just purchase and Island down there somewhere and get our **** out of all the countries.. POP it on some Island..

Our military presence is not the great ambassador it used to be. Not jabbing the Military.

Colombia needs to get off the BUSH NIPPLE..

As much in politics is not what it seems and SELDOM what is reported in the 'free press', one has to wonder as to the real reason.

We controlled the OUR Latin American properties, sorry I meant their countries ,from the bases in Panama for about 70 years or so. 'Mission creap' has not gone out of vogue. Same **** just a different location?

I hope they put a post at Matecano so I can use their gym.

Seems like Chavez isn't too thrilled with American bases in Colombia.

If we legalized and taxed drugs, we could balance to budget in no time. No expenses for our military to fight people who are not trying to blow us up, less money on prisons and incarcerations, more tax revenues.

Of course, the liquor and beer companies would be the biggest losers because most of the drug customers would be switchers.

A Jack and Coke would have a brand new kick!
