Brian is like that sometimes. Just ignore him.

He needs to send in his skirts. Then show up later. It works everytime.

Hardened army? They probably need saltpeter.



/yes, I know it's a myth

 
BarleyGnome 2008-03-07 11:22:54 AM  
Yeah, Chavez was informed of how much food his country obtained from Colombia.

 
k4mi 2008-03-07 11:23:02 AM  
So Chavez talks a big fight but can't back up his threats. Imagine that. A crazy socialist dictator who thinks he knows what is best but just ends up running his country into the ground while making himself look like an ass. This has never happened before in the history of the world. NEVER.

/Sarcasm level: High

We sell them military equipment under the guise of the war on drugs right?

I hope Colombia does to him what Germany did to Poland after Poland's incursions into Germany.

 
Zerochance 2008-03-07 11:24:46 AM  
I'm Colombian, residing in the US, and our army has been at war for decades. They are exceedingly well-trained, and are much better equipped thanks to our close ties with the US. We would have pwned the holy swinging fark out of Chavez.

That is like threatening to cut off oil to US. We will no longer sell you oil. US, fine we won't refine yours. Chavez, FARK

This. The US is about the only country that will refine their shiatty oil.

Who's Brian?

Also, considering that the Colombian army is hopped up on cocaine 90% of the time, it's best not to set them off.

I've seen the end of de Palma's Scarface. It took God knows how many bullets to take Montana down.

On the topic of oil and foreign policy. Did you know that the majority of oil imported is not consumed? God damn I can't wait until the rest of the world runs out of oil ... it's going to be great to watch them fellate our proverbial phallic.

I think after the last thread Columbia is the new moran.

Wait, are we supposed to be afraid of Chavez, or make fun of his po-dunk crappy army?

I'm so confused...

I was thinking more of El Scorpio in Predator 2, but yeah Montana works.

If people continually attack a country from your soil.

You know about it and do nothing to stop it.

Guess what.

Its almost the same as your country attacking.

Chavez is like Britney Spears to conservatives, they shouldn't care and there's no reason to care but they just won't stop giving him the attention he craves.

A subtle Godwin?

At least he got to test run his tank.

 
Phanatic1a 2008-03-07 11:42:05 AM  
"People should go cool off a bit, chill out their nerves," Chavez told journalists


He went on to say that "We've got to stay loose, you know? Let it cool. Let the coolness get into our vertebrae," before walking around in a little circle for 30 minutes.

I guess I'll buy that. They've been fighting FARC for ages. So they've got real combat experience. Venezuela? Nope.

On the other hand, even given the inherent difficulties of guerilla warfare, I have to wonder why after decades they still haven't succeeded in crushing FARC.

 
nosferatublue 2008-03-07 11:45:21 AM  
Are we still training columbians in the ways of warfare at the School of the Americas? When I staffed in a congress we'd get letters periodically asking us to shut that down. Apparently, wether you like the results or not, it's pretty effective.

Sweet, we have more Aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined.

I may support bringing the troops home (from everywhere) but I want to make sure we have the firepower to destroy Canada when they finally invade.

 
pvd021 2008-03-07 11:50:35 AM  
Seriously though, I'd like to know which country is more dangerous for a tourist to be in? Venezuela, or Columbia.

And which national government is more weak, in terms of dealing with rebels within their country?

I think we'll be able to tell how strong the rebels in columbia are, depending upon the price of the cocaine trade.

Check out the Defense Budget totals. We spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined.

Colombia? They can't protect their drug lords or their judges. Fighting Venezuela would be as stupid as US trying to manage Afghanistan and all sides of the Iraq Civil War at the same time.

/there's nobody in Colombia as stupid is Rumsfeld, is there? Didn't think so.
