popular opinion of FARC has really died in the last 10 years, or uribe is doing a great job there. it's kinda funny that we're funding his war (fight/struggle/whatever) at 5bill a year while china is funding ours...

This is the second major success for Uribe in the last six months - the first being the strike into Ecuador. 5 billion is cheap when you consider the alternative which is to allow Chavez to play the neighborhood bully. I think Senor Chavez' rocket has reaches its apex just short of the necessary esape velocity. The Venezuelans are far too intelligent to resign themselves of 30 years listening to his BS. I hope he chooses to go peacefully when the time comes. Or not. He'll go either way. The price controls were like Belshazzar's feast for his political future. You knew it was over right then.
