by Jason W. Smith, Ph.D., Venezeula AnalysisNow, we see the US plan unfolding with its complete support of Uribe’s aggression against Ecuador as well as his own people. The Gringo’s think they can fight this war using Colombia’s 200,000 man army (and reserves the US is paying to mobilize) and by using their naval supported air force (as well as long distance bombers from the Gringolandia and closer air support from their bases in Honduras and Panama. –And, of course from bases in Colombia. They are trying to phony up support for Uribe with these so-called “demonstrations” against the FARC which we can see clearly now are CIA/NED designed in Langley, Virginia, Wall Street and Washington DC. Out of this they hope to rebuild a base in northern South America. They have been locked out now by Brazil, Venezuela, and Ecuador and their trafficker industrialist boss of Colombia is going to be hard-pressed to hold onto his seat (literally – he may have to kiss his ass goodbye in other words.) Desperation on the part of the Gringo reactionary bosses is their motivation and they have no clear cut plan as to what will happen when the dust settles. In the meantime the ALBA countries need to redeploy their air arm to SAM protected secret airstrips. –And, the next time Uribe strikes out, the base from which those forces departed should be obliterated by ALBA airstrikes. Then we can see how far they want to go. In a protracted struggle we will have the people of Colombia with us. Only Gringolandia will be a serious opponent and they have limited military forces and as importantly limited amounts of money.
