Colombian Rescue

By Slab

Some years ago, while still pressing up the hill of science, I studied the guerilla war raging in Colombia. At the time, there was a great deal of concern over whether the FARC could be beaten by Colombia's military. I read a number of sources that professed concerns over the Colombian military's professionalism and abilities.

Those concerns have been put to bed. The Colombian military is most definitely playing in the big leagues.

Like Laughing Wolf of Blackfive, my hat is off to the men who carried out one of the finest special operations in recent history.

LtCol P says... Indeed, that is one of the slickest ops in history. And remarks by the Colombian Defense Minister that intelligence agents had infiltrated the terrorists' high command is a neat piece of IO too-- if it's true, it's a real victory, and if it's not, then it's all too believable. Should cause a nice little stir amongst conspiracy-addled and purge-addicted communists.
