‘The Most Important Blow Ever Against the FARC’
Santos, speaking from New York, where he is attending the UN General Assembly meeting, declared:
I have said clearly that for any kind of dialogue it is necessary that they abandon terrorism; in this there is no place for minor doubt, in this there is no place for minor differences in interpretation of what those words mean.
About the operation against Mono Jojoy, he said:
It was an operation that had been planned for a long time. This is the welcome operation that we had announced to the FARC.
This is a very big coup for the Santos administration. The FARC now has no second in command, their seven-member secretariat is down one more man, the eastern block of the FARC (which has an estimated 4,000+ members) is now without a leader, and the terrorists’ morale will be greatly affected as Mono Jojoy was a symbol of the FARC’s violence and terror. According to the Economist, Mono Jojoy was believed to have been in charge of many of the FARC’s cocaine-trafficking operations. Best of all, Jojoy has no clear successor.
Santos himself stated on Wednesday, “He symbolized terror. This is the most important blow ever against the FARC.”
Great. Now that they will be in disarray, attack them with great ferocity, risk much, and kill as many of those 4,000 terrorist maggots as possible. Destroy everything they touch and everyone they love.
Put on the mindset of General Sherman and crush them. End this.
This is fantastic news! I know some Colombians were worried that Santos — of all people— was going soft with all the talk about “dialogue.” I guess FARC bought into that as well.
Now it is clear that Santos will only negotiate from a position of strength and with people who are willing to renounce barbarism.
The Colombian forces have just shown that terrorists can in fact be defeated. Failing to do so only leads to a return to the dark ages. Let’s not forget that, in the 21st century, most of humanity is still living under one form of tyranny or another. Let’s face it, in pure statistical terms, tyranny is the normal state of human societies. No matter how much it may reflect the highest human aspirations, everything else is definitely against all probability, comes only at a stiff price, and is worthy of a vigorous defense, because the rule of law is still an exceptional and blessed environment in our time on this planet.
Three cheers for Colombia, and Gracias Amigos for showing how it’s done!
Now, some ingenious tea party supporter needs to get into the public eye and ear with the connection between FARC and the Democratic Party of the United States. Which has been one of the contributing reasons for the absence of Colombia from favorable trade treaties with the US.
It will take a tea party bloke, because the Republicans certainly didn’t succeed (if they even tried), and the MSM are still enthralled with terrorists under swanky acronyms who are conducting an ‘armed struggle’ (complete with leftist slogans) to seize power.
Your point about Colombia NOT having been admitted as a trade preferred partner is extremely important…but as we can see from the number of comments (5 when I am writing….)to this column, the American public is still very far from understanding the structure and the ways of the international subversion.
By creating problems to the Colombian government,our Congress actively supports the marxist terrorists and narcotraficantes…
and the American public thinks it can ignore it without consequences…
All of that “armed struggle” talk from the South American left is so 20th Century. Seize power like the left in the US did, with election fraud and judicial activism.
i’m with jerome. kill em all.
