Yeah right. Columbia is full of farmers, Communists, corrupt police and politicians, coffee and of course, cocaine. But elite commandos? I don't think so. The White House said that the US provided "specific support" in the rescue of three American contractors and Ingrid Betancourt. I've got to be honest with you. Until she was rescued, I never heard of Ms. Betancourt. I knew nothing about any Americans (she's French) being held captive in Columbia. And I consider myself a very knowledgeable person when it comes to what going on in the world. Apparently not. And FARC? FARC? Huh? The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia? Never heard of them either. They reportedly still hold hundreds more "hostages." Anyway, although I obviously can't confirm this, those "elite" Colombian commandos just have to be our "Joint Special Ops Command" guys. According to The New York Times "they" used Israeli tracking "technology, whatever that means. Bottom line is, I just can't believe the Colombian army is capable of anything. Sorry.
