Well, the people of Canada are a lot more polite that those in Columbia
that wanted to assassinate the SOB.

The Marxists?


Here, if we dislike a person, we just ignore them.

So you empathize with Marxist rebels?



Wasn't that just more Fox News bullship?

Evidence of assassination plan against Bush in Columbia not found

BOGOTA, Colombia -- Colombia's main rebel group asked followers to mount
an assassination attempt against President George W. Bush during his
visit to Colombia last week, Defense Minister Jorge Uribe said. There
was no evidence Saturday that rebels even tried to organize such an attack.

Uribe told reporters late Friday that informants said the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, told followers to attack
Bush during his four-hour visit in the seaside city of Cartagena last
Monday, where he met with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

The defense minister, who is no relation to the president, said security
forces were on full alert during the visit. About 15,000 Colombian
troops and police, along with U.S. troops and Secret Service agents
provided security. There was no indication Bush's life was ever in danger.

Uribe did not say where the informants had heard about the attack.

The Secret Service did not comment on security details, as is its policy.

"We have full confidence in the fine work of the Secret Service and
their work with security officials on the ground when the President
travels," White House spokesman Jim Morrell said Saturday.

The FARC has declared U.S. troops in Colombia military targets. The
troops are training local forces and providing logistics and planning
assistance for military operations against the rebels.

However, the rebels never publicly declared Bush a target during his
first-ever visit as president to Colombia. Bush visited Colombia after
attending a summit in Chile.



Incidentally, the FARC, while it has Communist roots, is hardly
"Marxist" today, and hasn't been for years. What it is is a fairly well
organized group of criminals. Don't you get books and newspapers down
there in Stupidville?

Damn, no one 'publicly declared' 9/11 either. I suppose it really
didn't happen.

Go play with yourself, Harry. You'll be more credible.
