Letting, letting because of the incredible amount of corruption the FARC can buy with US cocaine dollars. Uribe is the first one that is actually making some progress. And he wasn't on duty when Betancurt was captured. BTW I'm a Colombian born U.S. citizen. so I believe it is you that need an education

Little Hitler chavez has failed in every endeavor he has tried. He couldn't back down George Bush, he couldn't get socialist changes made in Venezuela's constitution, he couldn't get the hostages back, and he couldn't cut off oil sales to America.
chavez is a little man in every way. In a penis contest he would come up short.

There are many Marxist here in the U.S.A.

The liberal leftists are using the court system to turn out Democracy into one of Marxism.

The first step was the feminist (aka homosexuals) movement.
Next the general homosexual movement.
Then we will see pedophelia legalized.
On the drawing board now is bestiality being legalized.

At the helm of this agenda are:

KENNEDY
POLOSI
FEINSTEIN
BOXER
HILLARY....and of course
OBAMA YO-MAMA
Roger Baldwin

American contemporaries of Karl Marx proposed enslaving poor whites so they would be an organizes and managed workforce like black slaves. The marxist movement gained momentum in the 1890s and by the 1930s were calling themselves socialists with the declared goal of eventual communism. The ACLU was the legal action arm of the socialists under Roger Baldwin and a vast array of lesbians, marxists, communists, and the pedophile man/boy association. The ACLU was trying to stop deportation of known communist operatives and used the legal system to thwart American justice and create legal roadblocks to capitalism.
American socialists identified all of the American strengths that had to be destroyed before socialism could be established as a preliminary to communist dictatorship. Some of the strengths were identified as: the family, the constitution, private property rights, capitalism, American history, gun rights, religion, freedom of the press, and a strong military.

Modern socialists use the legal system to file civil rights lawsuits, environmental lawsuits, produce anti gun legislation, promote abortion, tax workers, provide social programs for non workers, demand open borders and the elimination of restrictions on immigration, tax private property, dismantle the military.

There are still up to 44 hostages remaining; wonder what happens to them?

WRONG - the story is about COLOMBIA - try learning how to spell.

And "Alg2772917", my daughter is also a Colombian-born American, so what's your point? None? I thought so.

There are still over 700 hostages. I'd guess Uribe will successfully liberate some of them during his remaining tenure - and Betancourt will liberate the rest of hem when she's president of Colombia.

This whole show was orchestrated to gain support for the Columbia Free Trade Agreement. All parties agreed to it ahead of time so that no one would get hurt.

Which branch of the Columbian government did you work in? Also how many years did you live in Columbia for moving here?

6 years is a long time, but is it really that simple to just drop in on a bunch of armed rebels and rescue hostages without anyone getting hurt? In this case it was, but by pure luck and clever trick that wouldn't work twice. The Columbian government does deserve praise for the rescue regardless because it did happen and lives were saved. End of story.

Idiocy is not allowed, and yet it's allowed to run rampant. It won't be so petty when China takes over because all of our children grew up to be horribly educated.

what is the population of the united states and what other countries are you comparing it to? i would venture a guess that cocaine use is worldwide and in approximately equal ratios per populations. however, if you hate america so much.....why are you still here?
