FARC Bomb targeted for Uribe kills 16 in Colombia - IRA and ETA training *** BOGOTA - A powerful blast leveled a home being raided by police Friday, killing 16 people and injuring more than 40 others in the latest of a string of urban bombings that have changed the dynamics of this country's 40-year-old guerrilla war. Acting on a tip, Colombian police and prosecutors raided a series of homes early Friday morning in a neighborhood near the airport in Neiva, a city about 150 miles southwest of Bogotá, the capital.

They were searching for a supposed cache of mortar shells that leftist guerrillas purportedly planned to use in an assassination attempt against President Alvaro Uribe, whose airplane was to arrive at the airport this morning. The plane would have passed less than 400 yards above the neighborhood. Around 5:30 a.m., shortly after the authorities entered the last of six homes searched, a powerful bomb exploded, destroying the building, damaging 15 nearby residences and shaking the neighborhood. Television video showed bloody people staggering from flattened homes. A prosecutor accompanying the raid and nine police agents, including the regional secret-police chief, were killed. Three of the dead were children.***

Time for U.S. military's Southern Command to "fish or cut bait".

Oh NO, cannot go past our Southern Spongey borders, for it may pee off a decrepit Mexican Official (who may have killed a US soldier) better known by all citizens on the borders as a "Federale".

What the Hell has to happen?

Iraqis with bomb material trying to cross the borders into Texas, California or New Mexico to kill thousands of legal taxpaying American and other countrymen?

Hello? The reason to cross any US border is no longer to be an "American Citizen" is it?

It is to come to Teddy Kennedy's free for all country for votes, is it not?

SOBs like the drunk child-drowner Kennedy is not concerned about the welfare of the downtrodden of any who live in the United States of America, because Kennedy and his sick bastard friends are concerned with the "WELFARE" of the folks they are able to keep poor and educationally bankrupt.

It should be repeated over and over that the only bastards who want the PLANTATION EXPLANATION of the "downtrodden" and the "depressed" are New England Elites whose familys owned slaves themselves, but continue to deny WHY THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN THE VERY SLAVE DESCENDANTS ANY MONEYS FOR REPARATIONS, BUT DAMN SURE WANT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY TO GIVE UP MONEYS TO PEOPLE LIKE JESSIE JACKSON'S FAMILIAL WANNABEES AND "CARBUNCLE BILLY" DOWN IN GALVESTON.

For Honest Hispanic, Black and White folk this attempt gets old real quick.

Yes, maybe it's been on Limbaugh and Cavuto and Boortz and Hannity (Goodness, maybe it's getting out?), but to forget it is to let it disappear in the myriad of crap the "mawhoor" networks put out...

As the man said, .. "Just the facts, M'aam", or is that too hard to ask?

Yes, I know this is directed at Colombia, but should not our borders come first?

FARC just farced up. They have provided the political basis for U.S. Special Forces to go from training Columbians how to kill leftist narco-terrorists to actually demonstrating the procedure. Time to Afghanistanize these muthas. Get the CIA in there with fistfulls of cash, turning scum against scum. Get the intelligence and start putting bullets in foreheads.
