Awesome hostage rescue in Colombia

[Maxxthepenguin]

Not to mention that such a thing as this will always politically benefit somebody somewhere. Saying it's suspect because somebody benefits is just lol

Made for TV movie about this on Fox within the year.

Damn whichever group thought that up better get some awesome MGS military titles after this.

5+ years is a long time, they were probably getting pretty horny by the time their husbands came back to them to pick up where they left off.

I don't think "all" of them got rescued. The articles I read said there are something like 750 hostages spread all throughout Columbia. I guess the only ones that matter are the Americans.

We are already playing world police in the Middle East, now you are saying that we should try and rescue 750 hostages, that are not in our country nor have anything to do with ours? Fuck that, Colombia can handle their own shit.

Of the 15 hostages rescued in the operation, only 3 were American. <_<

ok, here is why I said it is fishy.

1.) There is a free trade agreement thing brewing in congress with colombia.
2.) How do you publicly announce that you infiltrated a hostile organization and not endanger your spies?

know wha'ah'meen bro?

Ok, McCain was in Colombia when the rescue occurred.

who has also been pushing the trade agreement with Colombia.

As the article clarifies though, this is just a pure coincidence.

If you had read the article it should be clear to you that he spies left with the hostages.

"...and indeed, Padilla said more than one double agent was involved in this mission."

That line somewhat suggests that there is a deep infiltration.

Guess what i was thinking is that just seem to be convinient politicaly. Election year; candidate who just happen to be a POW just left your country..... ahh dont wan to get into it im happy those Americans are home. Hope the other 700+ can be home soon also.

I can't comment too much, but I can assure you that had nothing to do with it.

[guartz]

Yeah, don't say it churchill.
