Everyone knows that the USA is in Colombia to provide logistical and advisory support. The bottom line is 2 marvelous military strikes were successfully implemented. One could argue that in the Reyes operation if the USA were involved then they are equally guilty of an "illegal incursion". Other than that, who cares? Only far left chiflados who despise the USA and cheer on the FARC, its atrocities, Chavez and his locuras. In both situations a criminal organisation, the FARC, were served up a healthy serving of retribution.

I say Bahamas, Jamaica and T&T for starters will vote against Venezuela. Throw Barbados in the list. Haiti is banking on <br />Chavez pledges (#1 donor) so they will not vote against. DR will not vote against because of the refinery and energy reliance they have to play both sides. Guyana and Suriname have gone RED. <br /><br />//GWEHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-31180532588414304412010-07-22T00:12:50.158+02:002010-07-22T00:12:50.158+02:00Daniel, los gringos estaban "up to their neck...Daniel, los gringos estaban "up to their necks" in the raul reyes and ingrid betancourt operations.
