And? Are you upset that Dubya wasn't invited to be one of the dancers?
Quote:
While there for the singalong Pres Chavez also ordered half a billion dollars worth of tanks, plus other sundries such as submarines and armored personnel carrier...
Does that mean the United States ISN'T the world's leading arms dealer? Have we been outsold by Russia? Half a billion bucks isn't really that much these days, where arms are concerned, is it? I mean, that gets you, what? A half-dozen F22 Raptors? A downpayment on a B2 Spirit bomber? The conning tower of an Ohio-class boomer?

...to fight off the Americans in Colombia...
That sounds like supposition on your part.
Quote:
...although Secty of State Clinton (who's [sic] husband was President when Plan Columbia originated)...
Refresh our memory - who was President eight years ago today?
I mean, if you're going to place blame for things on who was in charge when they happened, then fair is fair, right? Wouldn't it be reasonable to say something unflattering about Laura Bush, like, "A visit to the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque by Laura Bush, whose husband was President during Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden's most successful years in terms of recruitment and attacks on America..."
Quote:
...has promised that the Obama administration just wants a few troops there to aid Colombian forces in stopping drugs and terrorism.
Now that, I have a bit of an issue with. I'm a bit tired of throwing money away on one more useless "war". The "War on (some) Drugs" is over; drugs won. The only thing we're doing now is enriching criminals, some of whom don't even work for Big Pharma.

Besides that perhaps the money spent on troops in Columbia, would be better spent on reducing the number of addicts inside the US.
PINKO! COMMIE! AMERICA-HATER! You just don't get it - treating addicts doesn't make for good ratings, unless those addicts then explode and make us go "Ooohhh! Aaaahhhh!". Americans are really only about treating problems if the treatment involves the use of explosives.

Gino - thing is, if they spend it HERE, they're good capitalists, whereas if they buy from Russia or China, they're godless despots.
At least that's how it seems to work in GeezerWorld™.
