Rescuing the first victims

My father-in-law always said that it was probably just an accident, but the government exploited the tragedy for political purposes.

Webmanco almost always needs to post something that it goes against the grain concerning the Beautiful image of Colombia. He either posts one of those lousy and/or unrelated photos, hijacks the thread, particularly when the thread has a very positive tone about Colombia or Colombians, and he loves to embrace two cultures that I have noticed are not in the best interest of Colombia, one of them is from his favorite country and the other one is from another country in Europe. I guess he loves to back up the one from Europe just for personal gain here in pbh.
For Webmanco, the term Colombiche has more value and self-enrichment than the term Colombian. COLOM + BICHE
His personal stuff is more important than Colombia and he does not care if the rest of the world or foreigners are learning from personal and often misleading info.

Well, I am glad that you feel humorous because most people roll on the floor when the pain strikes. You know the truth hurts.

That's not right,, most of the photos are pretty good. I mean,, military photos,, well,, OK the cuy,, but maybe there is a link,, some common thread,, maybe a bunny picture is appropriate ?

This is bugs,, in a bird cage hanging from an avocado tree in the back yard.

WoW (MoM upside down)
.
Looks like the U.S. congress should give this day some kind of special military holiday.
I'd suggest Colombia,, but they have very few working days left to give out.

On this Day: Congress Authorizes Vietnam War

On Aug. 7, 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution based on what is now widely believed to be faulty intelligence, plunging the United States into the Vietnam War.

WoW,, faulty intelligence,, how can that happen ? or is that some kind of OxyMoron ?



Amazing,, The U.S. not only frees Europe 60 plus years ago but builds a military vehicle that is the standard in Colombia for bussing campesinos to work, hauling bananas, other produce, livestock feed and,,, selling coffee !!!!

Nothing to date can come close,, if it could,, I'd see it on the rural roads,, well,, OK,, the toyota land cruiser,, 1992/1996 works a lot better,, but who can afford to haul all those goods in a landcruiser.
