Yo brazilnut, what do you call Brazil nuts in Brazil? Just wondering.

Whatever that might be, it has Chavez sweating.

Heh, I smell sulfur…

Does anyone take this bloated-wannabe-tough-guy seriously?

He is a joke.

my first thought…dirty bombs

FARC et al surely do not have the technical infrastructure to process it further. They may be middle-men, however, trading it up for money to buy arms – there’s a lucrative route via Chavez to Iran frex.

Grinding it up fine and deploying it as a hazardous pollutant (with or without a bomb) was also my first guess though.

Why is the MSM ignoring this?
Why do the Dems still love Hugo?

Why did the sun rise in the East today?

What could also be on the computers? Naked pictures of Chavez, Fidel, Michael Moore and Sean Penn.

And even if not AQ hears of this and makes a deal with them (if not already).

And even without an AQ link, the U.S. is a friend of Columbia and not one of FARC, so they may want to hit us trying to get us to back off.

And even . . . .

Its all our fault don’t cha know…..evil conservatives…Boosh!!!

Hugo Chavez is living proof that Satan hates us.

Cindy, Teddy, Michael, Oliver, Sean, Barbara, Jane…

And the McDermott Travel Agency is probably looking around for some financing for an “exploratory junket to highlight the plight of Venezuelan children” in Maiquetia…the ones living on the beach, at any rate.

There was also rumors/whispers of prominent so called American liberals and even active Democratic politicians.

I remember reading something about “the Americans” telling FARC that Obama was going to be prez

Still. it is a bit difficult to really get a handle on WHY the FARC want it.

my first thought…dirty bombs

This is why Liberals were so freeked out by the terrorist wire tap stuff. When you go two or three levels in relation chains you start running into US liberals and groups.

1. It isn’t the first time they have found uranium, though it is always very low grade. Still. it is a bit difficult to really get a handle on WHY the FARC want it.

2. 30 April will be a big date regarding the computers because that is when their assessment by independent experts is supposed to be ready. Obviously, Chavez and Correa are a bit nervous about that.

3. Even though everyone is awaiting the “official” pronouncement on the veracity of the computers, the Colombian police continue to utilize the information found on them. The arrest in Thailand of an international arms dealer, the location in Costa Rica of almost a half million dollars of FARC money at the exact address shown on the computer, and the arrest in Peru of two FARC operatives exactly where the computer said they would be shows that, despite the polemics about their veracity, they are the real deal. Everyone knows it…including Messrs Chavez and Correa.

Who is in the bag for Chavez?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Unfortunately their common enemy is the USA.

Dead men talk and in the Colombian-Ecuadorian jungle, they talk loudly about Congressman James McGovern (D-Mass).

The media-downplayed hard drive recovered from the computer of killed Colombian guerilla Raul Reyes, No. 2 in command of the Colombian FARC, tells a tawdry tale of the opposition of House Democrats to the US. -Colombia Free Trade Agreement.

“Some Democrats oppose the Colombia trade deal because they sympathize more with FARC’s terrorists than with a U.S. antiterror ally (Colombia)”

(The Wall Street Journal, March 25, 2008).

“Congressman McGovern is now arguably as well known to average Colombians as he is among his own Massachusetts constituents,” Ernesto Pardo, of the Bogotá Free Planet (BFP) told Canada Free Press (CFP) this morning.

Killed in a military strike three weeks ago, Raul Reyes’ career to take over FARC leadership ended on the jungle floor. Retrieved by authorities, his computer reveals a brisk business with the FARC by anti-Colombian government Congressman James McGovern, a leading opponent of the free-trade deal.

As things turn out, McGovern has been working with an American go-between, who has been offering FARC terrorists help in undermining Colombian’s duly elected government.

Didn’t I see this in huge headlines on CNN, The Washington Post, and the NYT?

wouldn’t equate U.S. silence on this issue with lack of knowledge. The U.S. government wasn’t talking too much about that Israeli air strike in Syria last year.

I agree with you, but if we grant they know, then we are kept in the dark because to acknowledge means Bush has to do something about it. Same with Iran. We know a lot, don’t say much, and won’t do anything because it is an election year and being pro-active is a ‘hot kitchen’ while being reactive in this country is fine with the libs…… a la we deserve it.

I wonder what the western hemisphere will do if it discovers that Chavez is doing the nuclear dance with AQ?

Nothing, sadly.

The uranium probably came from Iran… They can trace Uranium right? I think they can. If so, look out, the shit’s about to hit the fan.
TheBigOldDog on March 28, 2008 at 10:12 AM

Uranium is a naturally occurring element, it’s mined and processed. There may be some way to trace it chemically but I don’t know. I don’t think Iran has uranium deposits so it probably didn’t come from Iran. May have been processed there but most likely came from Africa.
