Reply #12: The gringos are OK with their new bases [View All]

I used google earth to check out all these bases. The Colombian base at Cundinamarca (Palanquero) is right in the middle of the action, and the US has access to it. If we consider they have access to a base in Honduras, one in Puerto Rico, one in Guantanamo, and as many as they need in Florida, it seems Manta is redundant now. And if the US wants a bit more radar coverage over the area, they can station a couple of ships offshore, and that should close the bag 100 %.

What Correa did was to give the yankees a good excuse to go deeper into the action, bad chess move on his part if he's playing on the FARC's side.

This havanatimes.org just doesn't have much credibility when it comes to this type of issue. The logistics and technical issues have been SIMPLIFIED for the USA.

However, as I have pointed out before, the optimum answer is to legalize drugs. That would end the crime wave and stop the FARC cold.
