		<description>Mr. Father_Time asks where was Colombia (not ColUmbia, please) during all the US trials and tribulations. Well, let me tell you that Colombia was one of very few  Latin American countries whose diplomats were defending you in the United Nations when the Irak invasion was launched; and whose soldiers and policemen are being killed while fighing the drug traffickers (aka known as communist &quot;guerrillas&quot;) whose arms you finance with your insatiable appetite for cocaine, and that Chavez actively supports.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why not buy them from Baby Huey, who plans to be the region&#039;s arms seller and has been setting up one or more Kalashnikov factories to build and supply AK-47s to all his buddies there in the region?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sounds like a plan, it&#039;ll save our brave troops from having to carry all that weaponry through Central America...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(&lt;blockquote&gt;Those factories are begging for visits by US cruise missiles if a single US citizen is harmed or threatened.)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So by your logic, any factory used to produce Drones and other war material used by the US in Afghanistan are legitimate targets for a nice Jihadi truck bomb no matter where they are located or how many civilians are working in them. Good to know, after all what is good for the goose is good for the gander.</description>

		<description>The world does indeed roll on...and not in as haphazard a fashion as it first appears.  There is a concerted effort to bleed the US bull down financially as he struggles to get back on his feet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Russia lurks curiously behind it all.  China is the Bear&#039;s front man.  And the gig is to tire the bull until the final gaff can be sunk in our jugular.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m sure it&#039;s just a coincidence that Russia was floating around the Gulf of Mexico not too long ago.  Maybe just as bait.  Fear works to provoke something that never should be acted on.  Mark my words that this skirmish heating up in that region is just another diversion.  If the US wants to survive as a nation, she needs to pull in her resources, batten down the hatches and lay low...come hell or high water abroad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The thing about the russians is this.  The minute I heard they decided to dismantle the iron curtain, I knew they were up to something.  Call it paranoia, call it being a child of the Cold War.  Call it whatever you like but one thing I&#039;ve learned about Russia is that she is very very proud.  And like a woman she has learned to lie in wait for her opportunity to exact revenge instead of punching directly in the nose at every provocation.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There.  I laid it out on the table.  Remember the bullfight and every gaff.  Each one alone will not bring down the bull; but for some reason I feel like I&#039;ve been sitting in a slow-motion bullfight and the gaffs have made the bull very weak at the knees.  That we are beholden to China...well we walked right into that one didn&#039;t we?  *rolls eyes*</description>

		<description>The ink isn&#039;t dry yet on the agreement between USA/Columbia Create 7-10 military bases in Columbia.  IS THIS NO SUPPORT ENOUGH?  Oh They want us to attack Venezuela?  Spank Chavez, heh? You want to start the drumbeat for another military action do you?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You know as best as I can tell, the majority of Latin American countries side with Chavez, coincidentally also with Zelaya.  They do not want to see the American military in South America.  It is Columbia&#039;s behavior that is in question here, not Venezuela.  If I wasn&#039;t so lazy I would go do a little research to prove it.</description>

		<description>What do you people want us to do?  You blame President Obama, but you are addressing the American people! We are already at war and increasing our troop strength in Afghanistan. We still have troops in Iraq. We are going bankrupt. We have 10% unemployment and climbing. We are facing off nuclear North Korean. We may be at war with a another new nuclear power, Iran, soon. We are trying to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians, the Pakistanis and the Indians,  as we fight terror clandestinely around the world. One wonders, were the hell has Columbia been during all of OUR trials and tribulations???&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why don’t you go Ask Spain? They are not doing anything at the moment.</description>
