Chavez tells Colombia not to build base for US

Yeah there is a movable border over there... The US is getting poised to get those nationalized oil profits back in the hands of the cronies. Maybe?

Whoa! What a great idea! Where do we pick up the applications for job opportunities when construction begins?

Chavez trying to blackmail Colombia again…can’t wait to see Uribe reach a new high in approval ratings!

Bravo, Presidente Uribe for the perfect operation!

kidding aside - i worry about what happens when the border these FARC bastards scamper over is venezuela, not ecuador, and a high-value target is included.

uribe apologized to ecuador - but rightfully never promised it wouldn't happen again.

Colombia shouldn't let the americans do it. It will create more problems than it solves.

Robert Jorge says on May 18, 2008, 20:41:

There are gringo soldiers as guest advisors on Colombian bases like doc mentioned.

There are a lot more Colombian soldiers in the US though, I suspect. I met a group of 5 or 6 Colombians in my store a couple of weeks ago. They were on week-end leave from Fort Rucker, Alabama. All were in training for flying helicopters. I meet Colombians all the time where I live who are training at US bases for something or another. I see a lot of EOD guys from Colombia at the mall I work in. (explosive ordanance disposal)

RJ, I attended the School of Aviation Medicine at FT. Rucker back in 1990 and Loved it! Dont know if it is still there now though. I had also seen Colombian Uniformed Soldiers at FT. Campbell but never asked about why. There are so many countries training in the U.S. it is not worth keeping up with. hahahaha. They had Colombia Colors (flag patches) on their shoulder, otherwise I would not have even noticed.
