Crisis Over Colombian Raid Ends in Handshakes - New York Times
Did you know there was a crises in northern South America? The international and specifically American media has been rather significantly overlooking some serious goings on down there. And sure, I link to a NYT article above, so it's being covered, but not to aggressively. Indeed, defense, in general, seems down in terms of news coverage.
That said, take a look at what's going on down there: Tank battalions massing on boarders, Hugo's involved, of course, and FARC kingpin's getting whacked left and right. And of course the Colombian and American governments have been playing nicely (who doesn't like a rich uncle?) for years and years. Makes you wonder what exactly the nature of U.S. involvement down there might be. I think it's safe to say that at least a few American tax dollars are at work right now.
