Colombian Rebels Planned to Kill President Bush

[Moloch]

BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) was targeted for assassination by Colombia's biggest Marxist rebel group this week when he visited the Caribbean port city of Cartagena, a top Colombian official said on Saturday.

"According to informants and various sources, we had information indicating that various members of the FARC had been instructed by their leaders to make an attempt against President Bush," Defense Secretary Jorge Alberto Uribe told reporters.

He would not be drawn out on the details of the threat. The White House had no immediate comment.

Actually, I think George's comment was:

"You don't like me, you really don't like me!"

5. Regardless

of how the vote went, this is really dangerous. No one deserves an assasination attempt.

I must say to the Columbian rebels... If you kill him, then how will we ever get to see him frog-marched?
