What the FARC?
It’s no surprise that leftists support leftists but when we know about specifics we should hear about it in our press. Why doesn’t the press report on leftist terrorist connections? Maybe because the press is too far left to want to delve to deeply into these matters. Hm.
From Powerline:
If this report is correct, Nancy Pelosi was carrying on her own foreign policy in opposition to that of the United States, trying to work with the socialist Hugo Chavez and the Communist FARC terrorists to undermine America’s ally, Colombia. In normal times, this would be unthinkable. Given the crazed state of today’s Democratic party, I’m not so sure.
Further, the statement that Pelosi designated the outrageously left-wing Jim McGovern to head up her mission to the terrorists is also interesting. It may tie in with this document, which, as reported by the Associated Press, apparently records an attempt by Democrats to encourage FARC to hold on until Barack Obama becomes President:… ~powerlineblog.com
We know that Chavez is a favorite among the lefties here in the US. With myriads of actors and politicians making pilgrimage to see the glorious leader and his 21st century socialism at work. We know too that leftist NGO’s actively and routinely give aid and comfort to these leftist revolutionary/terrorist gangs.
As we learn more about the Colombian military’s daring hostage rescue last week, one detail stands out: In tricking FARC rebels into putting the hostages aboard a helicopter, undercover special forces simply told the comandantes that the aircraft was being loaned to them by a fictitious nongovernmental organization sympathetic to their cause called the International Humanitarian Mission.
It may have taken years for army intelligence to infiltrate the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and it may have been tough to convincingly impersonate rebels. But what seems to have been a walk in the park was getting the FARC to believe that an NGO was providing resources to help it in the dirty work of ferrying captives to a new location. ~online.wsj.com
