15 hostages, including 3 Americans have been rescued from FARC in Colombia.
French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt, three US nationals and 11 other hostages were rescued from Marxist FARC rebels Wednesday, freed from years in captivity by a daring Colombian military raid.
Betancourt, who was captured in 2002, and the three Americans held since 2003, were rescued along with 11 Colombian soldiers in dramatic fashion when the Colombian military infiltrated a rebel jungle camp and removed them by helicopter.
A plane carrying the Americans, Defense Department Contractors, is about to land in Texas.
Sen. John McCain was in Colombia today and said he was told about the rescue while there. He said it was a coincidence.

I KNEW IT!!!!!
McSame set up the hostage release! That damn capitalist pig-dog war mongering butcher! I bet he followed Bush (41)'s example of making Carter look bad...I know the truth!
Next McSame will be coordinating the riots in Denver because he wasn't in Chicago in 1968!
Wait a minute...I bet get set up the SDS riots and then got shot down on purpose so he couldn't be linked to it so he could run for president in 2008...He's a crafty one, he is! He had it planned down to a T!

They freed a couple of mercenaries who had no business there in the first place and a member of the Colombian elite who has ties with right wing terrorists.
PffffFFFFFT!

Cocaine eradication was what they were doing there, girlie. Oh are you referring to those that fight the terrorist organization FARQ and the drug cartels as right wing terrorists? I see.

Because you know nothing of the situation in Colombia, the history of the current struggle, or the major players.
You just drool in front of the idiot box and absorb everything they tell you on FAUX Newz without question.

when your commie idols are made to look like the clowns they are. The "mercenaries" -god you people really need to look up the definition of the word- were working to slow the flow of cocaine. Shame on them, huh?
I've been to colombia.on business 18 times so far and I know how the average joe there hates the stupid rebels. You don't know shit about Colombia.

By IlluminatiHottieJuly 3, 2008 - 11:21amFor which side Illum?
Both the FARC and the right wing para military militias fight over the coca fields. Wonder which ones were targeted by this " eradication" mission.
Slowing down the flow of cocaine was the contractors' mission? Wow, you are pretty naive, aren't you?
Why don't you take the time to learn something about what is actually going on down there before making such ignorant statements.

By thaelmann37July 3, 2008 - 11:27amIt's my business to know what is actually going on down there.
That's why I have to go so often. You are quite the fool. The only strugle in Colombia right now is the people against FARC. Have you ever been there nimrod? Do you have phone conversations with folks there several times a week? Have you even been out of your mom's basement in the last week?

They're flying in dumb whores from the States now? You would think that they'd have a sufficient home grown population to satisfy their needs.

By Guy FawkesJuly 3, 2008 - 11:44amWhoops, my bad.
Its President Uribe who has ties with right wing death squads. I scanned the article too quickly. Betancourt was a member of the ineffectual, but basically harmless Green party.

It's why you think the way you do. You only see a small piece of the world.
