Someone needs to sit down with the narcoterroristscommierevolutionaries in Columbia and have a good talk about branding. Their acronym is FARC. FARC for heavens sake! Sounds like something coming after too many beans.
FARC hasn't been doing to well, of late. The National Armed Forces of Columbia have killed most of their senior leaders, and captured a lap top that apparently contained all their passwords. Professor Schaff is right about laptops. The big news today is that the Columbian forces managed to free 15 major hostages, including a couple of U.S. citizens, without firing a shot. They landed helicopters at the site where the hostages were held, and convinced the rebels to load their captives on board. The helicopters were supposed to be from international relief organizations, so the rebels had every reason to think they were on their side. The people inside the helicopters were Columbian soldiers, but they were dressed like American sociologists, with Che Guevara tee shirts and all, so it all looked kosher. Just more rebels like us!
Only after the airlift was in the air did the hostages learn that they weren't hostages anymore. The Colombians pulled off a flawless hostage rescue. The had a little help from the U.S. American planes above the jungle canopy monitored all the rebels communications. And after the hostages had been snagged, we jammed the rebel communications so they couldn't mount any last minute response. But all the footwork was done by the Colombians. Damn good work.
It would be churlish of me to mention that this is the nation that the Democrats chose to insult by stalling the recent free trade agreement. So I won't mention it. I'll just say that these son of a bitches are my kind of sons of bitches. Damn good work.
