Marc Gonsalves spoke out againt the FARC terrorist organization.
The AFP reported:
"They are not a revolutionary group. They are terrorists," Gonsalves told a televised press conference from Texas, in his first public comments since being rescued by the Colombian army Wednesday along with 14 other hostages.Let's hope someone forwards this on to Nancy Pelosi and tells her to quit colluding with the FARC.
"They say that they want equality. They say that they just want to make Colombia a better place. But that's all a lie. It's a cover story, and they hide behind it," Gonsalves said.
"And they use it to justify their criminal activity.... Their interests lie in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping. They refuse to acknowledge all human rights. And they reject democracy."
Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell were seized by Colombian rebels as they conducted an anti-drug mission for the US Defense Department in February 2003.
They were freed by the Colombian army on Wednesday, when commandos posing as rebels tricked the guerrillas into handing over their top hostages: the US trio, French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and 11 Colombian soldiers.

ReplyDeleteHow about for fraternizing with an enemy?
"They say that they want equality. They say that they just want to make Colombia a better place. But that's all a lie. It's a cover story, and they hide behind it," Gonsalves said."
ReplyDeleteThe same lie told by every leftist, including the United States Democrat Party.
FARC is Al Capone with a (supposed) ideology. They claim to be Robin Hood, but in reality they're a lawless band of marauders.
ReplyDeleteIn this, of course, they're not wildly different almost all other 'Marxist Revolutionaries.' To this day I can giggle when I see Daniel Ortega wearing tailored fatigues and very expensive designer sunglasses. Well, I can giggle a little, because I know some of the price paid by the average Nicaguaran in blood for those 'revolutionary' accoutrements.
E of S,
ReplyDeletegood point, especially considering Pelosi's actions, Reids damning our troops as The war is Lost, Duban equating our soldiers to Nazis and Gitmo as the Gulags, Murtha as cold-blooded killers.
You'd think the enemy was holed up in Democrat leaders homes.
What complete, utter trash on the left.
So glad these guys were set free and a great statement made after 5 years of isolation, torture and malnourishment.
The lie told again and again. So they can...
"... use it to justify their criminal activity.... Their interests lie in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping. They refuse to acknowledge all human rights. And they reject democracy."
Those drugs corrupt and cost Americans millions in lost wages, lost lives.
President Bush once again standing strong with yet another ally that the Democrats refuse to support.
The Democrats would rather reach out to FARC, instead of the legitimate sitting Columbian government that finally has a strong President taking on the terrorist FARC.
Dave,
ReplyDeleteI'd call them Fidel and Che clones, shaped after the Communist doctrine started and funded by Cubans.
Definitely crooks and criminals without any thought for truth, justice, only lies of communism.
So sad that so many children get caught up in it. Lets hope that FARC keeps failing and faster please!
OT: What are "Jesuits" doing carrying FARC laundry?
ReplyDelete"A 2003 internal report from the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá titled "A Closer Look at Human Rights Statistics" confirmed as much. It found that NGO analyses – for example by the Jesuit-founded Center for Popular Research and Education known as Cinep – of the human-rights environment contained a heavy bias against the government while granting a wide berth to guerrillas."
What the hey? Time for Pope Benedict to do some digging around in South America pronto. Liberation theologo run amok.
DemocRats are traitors to America.
ReplyDeleteThey are truly beneath contempt.
Why are they not held accountable?

I know that William "Refrigerator" Jefferson is still drawing a public paycheck, but don't we have an FBI that looks into allegations of collusion with the enemy? At what point does an action step over the line of "free speech" into treason?
ReplyDelete.
democrats are dopes, they believe in the good hearts of everyone, that all terrorists just need a little love.
ReplyDeletethese people should leave their million dollar homes and go spread love around the world themselves, they wouldn't last 15 minutes in the real world.
