"You did not read my original comment. I have been living in Colombia for the last 7 years. What's more, I visited regularly before that since 1994. I have many family and friends here and am very up-to-date on the situation. Your allegation about the Colombian Congress is FALSE. His long term goal is a prosperous Colombia free of the FARC, ELN, AUC and similar, so that people can go about their daily lives without worrying about being murdered, kidnapped or robbed at any second. And he's doing an admirable job, which is why 91% of Colombians APPROVE of the job he's doing." - George Donnelly
"According to Raul Reyes' laptop, Venezuela gave the FARC 300 million dollars just out of solidarity. The FARC claimed they would hold Ingrid and the gringos until they got their compatriots out of jail in the US (i.e., never). So, 20 million dollars is chump change for that." - George Donnelly
"What part of "they tricked them into thinking they were fellow guerrillas" did you not understand? NO RANSOM WAS PAID. If you have nothing in your life to be proud of, that's your right, but don't compensate for it by tearing down the good work of people like the Colombian army members that ran this brilliant op." - George Donnelly
"wrong. Uribe is a man of quite a bit of honor. He's all about working for the long term. not the short. Has nothing to do with him supposedly being friendly with Bush, that's bs anyway. Colombia is a key ally of the US." - George Donnelly
"Sorry I do not buy it. If you knew anything about the current administration in Colombia, you would know that they would NEVER give money to the FARC. NEVER. I have lived in Colombia for the last 7 years and follow the situation daily. And if they were ransomed, why did they take the guerrillas into custody?" - George Donnelly
"> and some even see fascism in her tracts You, sir, are an idiot. Rand was entirely against all forms of collusion between government and business, which is what fascism is. You'll have more success when you read and understand what you want to criticize BEFORE writing your drivel." - George Donnelly
