B.S. DETECTOR GOING OFF: COLOMBIAN HOSTAGE RESCUE

Am I the only person on the planet who is having trouble buying the official version of this heroic Colombian hostage rescue?

"Hey Fed, this is FARC. This hostage gig is getting expensive and tiresome. We'd like to get rid of these people without pissing you off further. How about we hand them over, give you a few worthless, low level grunts to send to prison and a Delta Force story to sell. Here's what we do....."

Am I the only person on the planet who is having trouble buying the official version of your claim that the city has a veterans preference hiring policy. You should be ashamed.

Try to stay on topic.

I'll get to the whole vet's preference issue in a thread. In the meantime, try become at least a two trick pony.

Uhh.. So are you suggesting that after 6 years FARC decided to make the hostage thing disappear in the manner that you suggest??? Bizzare, UMRB.

Not nearly as Bizarro as a childlike belief that trained hardcore field operatives hopped happily onto a helicopter op'd by people who couldn't be legitamized through any sort of fieldcraft.

My version comes much nearer Colombian human behavior than the official one.

This puppy will unravel.
