14:08, September 01, 2010

Colombian, U.S. and Honduran naval forces started joint anti-drug trafficking military exercises Tuesday.

The three-day drills are being carried out by the Colombian National Army, the Honduran patrol ship "Tegucigalpa" and the U.S. Coast Guard vessel "Escanaba" on the Colombian island of San Andres.

The exercises include training Colombian navy coastguards and comparing notes on the fight against drug trafficking.

Twenty-six Honduran navy members and a vessel with radars, GPS and echo-sound devices are participating in the drills.

The U.S. vessel is equipped with a helicopter and high-technology tools, with 100 crew members aboard.

1. Going to intercept air traffic to Facussé's airports?

2. Somehow, I don't think this is going to have any effect whatsoever on drug trafficing.

And I have doubts that it was intended to.

3. Talk about an "Axis of Evil"! The Colombia, Honduras and U.S. "war on drugs" certainly qualifies!

It gives me profound fear and trepidation to see these military forces "coordinating."
