Well we’ve been doing new from the US and we think it’s time to do some about Colombia. The big story the one they spend most of the New Cast on is about negotiations between the Government and the rebel’s forces known as the Farc. It’s our opinion that this isn’t a good idea. In recent weeks the Farc has been very active in the Cauca (not sure if I spelt that right) attacking power lines rural police stations and civilian targets in most cases innocent lives are the most affected. They have only once attacked a military target and that was when they ambushed a patrol and killed twelve soldiers most of what they do is related to protecting the narco traffickers. The United States has declared the Farc to be a terrorist group, so you know they won’t be part of the negotiations. I don’t believe there’s a leader that can speak for the rebel’s that are acting as criminals and these criminals have relieved the same training and weapons as the rebels, making them the equal of the army and police. It would also appear that these weapons and training are coming from Venezuela and Cuba. It would also appear that Venezuela is offering safe haven for both. President Santos when he was the minister of defense dealt sever blows to the rebel forces on a military level I don’t know what has happened to change the situation in such a way as to make him want to negotiate instead. I will keep my friends up north apprised of the happening s down here as well as my usual sarcastic look at American news Flounder has left the building CIAO.
