U.S. Officials Weigh Colombia's Aid Needs |
Posted by FoM on August 25, 2001 at 08:40:58 PT By Michael Hedges Source: Houston Chronicle The Bush administration is conducting an "agonizing" review of its policy toward Colombia, weighing options to bolster a democracy battered by drug cartels and guerrillas. That review include a look at ways to enhance U.S. help to Colombia in its war against Marxist rebel forces. At present, U.S. policy is directed toward fighting drug traffickers in the nation but not the leftist guerrillas, who control a significant portion of the country. The review is exploring whether the White House should acknowledge that the rebels and drug traffickers are inextricably linked. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! Yep, the FARC are inextricable linked to the drug trade in Colombia. Just as inextricable as George Doublespeak Bush is to the oil industry, who could truly care less about the cocaine. "Protect the oil! Protect the oil!" If the US declares war on the FARC, the best protest would be to head to the area and fight with the FARC. [ Post Comment ] |
