Many people do not like to hear what is the probable answer...the huge Jewish lobby in the USA.

It's much like how most Americans think about the creation of Israel and our mindless support of Israel ever since 1948. I was actually one of those people for quite a while. Then in about 1970 after I had made some disparaging comment about the Palestinians, one of my Jewish friends (of all people) told me that I should stop reading the newspapers (people actually did that back then) and instead pay attention to what Israel was actually doing. He had just returned from Tel Aviv and was not at all happy about what his nation's policy had evolved into. That was one of the most eye opening conversations of my entire life.

Not picking fly crap. More like horse crap. Making stereotypical anti-semetic statements while pretending to be carring on an intellectual conversation.

Right, you have more jewish friends than anybody. Columbian friends too. You're smarter than anyone.
You don't know anyone one this board.

If you actually have a point to make this would be a fine time to do it...or find some other place for your one line offerings of nothing.

I think I've made my point.
You run the show now, do you?
I think not.

Certainly not "smarter than anyone" but my travels to Bogota and Medellin did allow me to know that it is actually spelled as "Colombia" down there is SA.

However, I do also have friends in Columbia, SC.:D

Nice try.
Nothing to respond to but spell check.
Figures.
Some of us have travelled a bit more extensively than you.

Oh, just a typo, right?

What does travelling have to do with anything...you brought it up. But I do recall using a passport one or twice.;)

..

Yeah Dari,

edumacation do come in strang pakages som a da timess.

And a good night to all!

Oy vey!! thought I had the wrong thread but Nooo... title still says it's about Chavez/Venz/Columbia, et al.

Remember the information the Columbians seized when they grabbed the FARC-a-nistas??

Well... I wonder if this is connected:

US arrests arms dealer in Thailand; was planning to sell SAMs to the FARC.

I also wonder if the US didn't help the Colmbian military
[a] pull off a night op
[b] w/o even waking the FARC Folks
[c] across a border, patrolled perhaps?
[d] with what appears to be excellent precision.

WI, you are some piece of work. If you are as smart as you seem to "think" you are, why haven't you noticed that many on both sides of the aisle here in PPOT are viewing you as a troll? ;)SmileWavy

Tim, I really don't give a rat's (you know what) how or why certain fools might "view" things. Worrying about what other might "think" is both infantile and an exercise in futility. Most adults realize this.

When anyone makes an inane post they should expect to get a reply. That's why it's know as a "public" board.

You made a post that was devoid of a point and I simply pointed that fact out. What is surprising about that?

This from a fine American who is allowed to post an ignorant picture of a candidates daughter with a fake sign on the daughter's chest saying "A negro kicked my mom's ass" recently.

Along with obviously having a limited IQ....you are both the kettle and the pot to complain about ANYONE else!

The FARC is an internal Colombian problem and it should be handled by Colombia. We have poured over $5 BILLION of our tax dollars into various political pots in Colombia (we pretend that it's our "War on Drugs") and it has done mostly harm.

Can no one come to the obvious conclusion that we ought to try something different?

Have you given any thought to having your skull core drilled so they could find why even though a bowling ball is filled with the same stuff, it's so much smarter?

I see you sensed a bit of compassion earlier by playing the race card... Feel better now? :rolleyes:

So pointing out an idiotic and racist post is somehow "playing the race card" in your strange little world?

Sorry about that. By the way, great tattoo!

It is when you simply throw it out there hoping that someone might have been offended and therefor throw some support your way ;). Sounds like a desparate move to drag yourself up a notch. Unfortunately it looks like no one bit on it. Better luck next time.
