For a start we don't even know that they have 10 tank battalions. We do know they have about 80 Main Battle Tanks and about 150 Light Tanks which put together couldn't make up 10 tank battalions. And at the moment Chavez has only said on his TV show to the domestic audience that he was sending tanks to the border, there hasn't been any reports which have shown any actually military movement taking place. We've just got to remember that Chavez is a loudmouthed bully that likes making outlandish remarks.
The A-10's of the Arkansas National Guard alone can reduce his 230 tanks to about 10 in a day or two at worst. He is not crossing that border unless he really is insane. Because I can guarantee you we will intervene in Colombia's favor no matter how distracted we are elsewhere or how many other wars we have going on.
