John McCain is Bushs bagman...
So I spent a day and a half, knowing full well that the Colombian rescue was done with the assistance of our intelligence services, wondering, still, why they timed the rescue to coincide with McCain's visit to Colombia. Leaders of the Colombian FARC rebel movement were paid millions of dollars to free Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages, Swiss radio said on Friday, quoting 'a reliable source'.
The 15 hostages released on Wednesday by the Colombian army 'were in reality ransomed for a high price, and the whole operation afterwards was a set-up,' the radio's French-language channel said.
Saying the United States, which had three of its citizens among those freed, was behind the deal, it put the price of the ransom at some $20 million.
[snip]
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the rescue 'was conceived by the Colombians and executed by the Colombians with our full support,' while implying that Washington had provided intelligence and even operational help.
Silly me! They didn't need McCain there for a photo op! They needed a bagman.
Now I wonder how long it'll be before we find out the ransom came from Bandar's little slush fund? But don't worry--McCain's just aspiring to be like Saint Ronnie.

One can question the timing of the rescue and that is fair. One cannot dispute the fact that the operation was wildly successful and the hostages were freed.
This begs the question of how Barry Ocarter would have handled it. Oh, yeah. He would open a DIALOGUE with the bad guys. He would TALK to them. And the hostages would still be hostages right now.

FARC probably had a significant portion of their forces preparing for additional kidnappings, since the Americans were coming, and we took advantage of that...........just a possibility. Misdirection.

So a newsperson, on a Swiss radio station, quotes a "reliable source" and it's now gospel. Amazing what people will believe without hard evidence. |
