Oh CRAP!!!!
Thanks for the ping!!
After some brief checking [what can be found on-line] it looks as if he may have gone too far -- when or if he decided supply FARC. The arrest smells a bit like a setup, though, since it was admittedly a sting arranged by the D.E.A.
How much had been agreed upon, of if money had changed handed hands, authorities are not saying.
But even talking about supplying FARC with heavy weaponry, is a big no-no, right about now.
We wonder how much of this will be related to Colombia's recent complaints against Hugo?
I'm just glad the CIA doesn't want ME to do them any favors. It's too easy to either just wipe an operative out, or pin some other nefarious stuff upon them --- like the kind of stuff the handlers used to previously wink at, or even encourage!
Don't be so sure! Viktor likes to get his weapons where ever he can. Like 99 tons of AK47s from American bases in Bosnia!
Bout's business partner is Hasan Čengić, the former Deputy Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Another one of clinton's little presents that keeps on giving!
