Keep Plan Colombia Funded

Fire of Liberty

I'd have to say that after watching the great success that Colombia's President Uribe has had in the past five years in reducing the FARC's numbers and reach within the country as well as Colombia's efforts in putting a damper on the cocaine and poppy crop, it'd be a shame to allow various members of our Congress to throw a monkey-wrench into Plan Columbia(Where we supply Colombia with arms and planes to spray various fields of drugs to cut down the production of drugs). Now I know that there's a demand problem with regards to drugs but you've still got to eliminate the drugs to starve the junky. With Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales(Bolivia) siding with FARC and narco-traffickers being friendly with Islamic terrorists throughout the world, it's a must that we continue to supply money and aircraft to Colombia and its brave forces in the Colombia National Police to continue the good fight. We can't afford another Afghanistan(1989-2001) or Somalia developing in our own backyard especially when we've got such an abled leader like Uribe willing to take down FARC and its fellow narco-terrorists. I'd rather buy more planes for Colombia than allow Colombia forces to be gunned down by the narco-terrorists on the ground or the possibility of our troops going into a hot-war to prevent one of our allies from falling to such forces. So let's keep the flow of US funds going into Colombia to continue the eradication of crops to break the back of the narco-terrorists. (We could boost the funds to encourage the growth of alternative crops in Colombia to end the growth of cocoa and poppies).
