Rhetoric Question of the Day: Was the FARC in Panama?
By The Boss on Mar 18, 2008 | In Politics | Send feedback »
That's what the Costa Rican authorities want to know. They found a bundle of money there which they say belongs to the FARC. And now they want to know if between 2000 and 2003 any high-placed FARC hot shots were in Panama. Hello, Ticos! Yes, there were. We know that for a fact. What we do not believe is that they leave money lying around just like that. Maybe it was hidden inside a Magic Laptop?

FARC chicks are a lot cooler
than, say, Cindy McCain
Okay, so we all know this FARC miracle wonder laptop stuff is fake, propaganda from right-wing drug warriors. But in the wonderful world of spin and deceit, the right thing to do is release more from the same discredited source. Through Associated Press of course, the outlet of choice for this kind of "public diplomacy". Anyway, now they say Clinton was involved with Garcia Marquéz and the talks were to be held in PANAMA! This must have been such a lucrative time for the Colombian rebel group, with Chavez, Correa, Clinton and France all bidding on the prestigious release of hostages and of course trophy Ingrid Bethancourt. And imagine how Torrijos will pretend to have been at the center of it, just like he did with the Kumbaya meeting in Santo Domingo.
On the brighter side, it looks like we're getting the war after all, because the wingnuts won't be happy before they can nuke any peaceful solution to Colombia's conflict. The same shameless, unquestioning, jingoistic piece of crap who brought us the run up to the Iraq war is now spinning how Chavez is the FARC's Guardian Angel and Bush needs to "take him on". Next from the magic laptop: FARC wants to conquer the moon!
