Don’t know if McCAIN has some role in that case But Osbama has surely something to do with CHAVEZ and CASTRO.
The so called conservatives fanatically anti McCAIN are too much activist to be honests and many sound like lunatic liberals OUBAMA’s believers...

McCain anyway was there to show is good relations with A.URIBE.He was only right to be thee and OUSBAMA appears to be wrong in contrast...

That’s all folks!Good move McCAIN,let’s roll

Sorry. I had serveral comments that I was responding to, and addressed this one to you by mistake.

Thanks for mentioning it. I’ll make sure the intended party sees it.

Three of my co-workers have been there for years —I’ve checked the webpage that Northrop Grumman put up on a regular basis for any news on them.

This is great! I’m glad they’re coming home!

(hurrah for McCain!)

What? Did he step down and give his delegates to a conservative like Newt or Ann Coulter?

Among the McCAIN detractors here there are probably many Obama’s supporters who appear to be very very angry against McCAIN but never criticize Obama...

Obama,pinkies,moonbats...launched their little soldiers on the web to spread doubdts and confusion among conservatives and republicans or other sensible independents

“I really wish you people would just shut up when McCain does something right. You and your cronies never miss a chance to knock him, and I’m really sick of it. He did a good thing. Sit down and shut up.”

Couldn’t agree with you more. The only thing these whiners are going to get us is president obama.

Ingrid relates the rescue at the link above. The soldiers were disguied as FARC symphatizers, they tied their feet and hands to get them to the helicopter then suddenly the soldiers neutralized the FARC terrorists identifying themselves as Colombian military. At that point Ingrid starts crying ...

CNN confirms that McCain was briefed on the operation yesterday, and notified today of the success of the mission just before he left to Mexico.

Press conference with the hostages right now, the Americans are not there, they are probably with American military instead. So no pictures of the american hostages for now ...
