Obama's Prescient Judgment Again

Obama warned of the impending mortgage crisis a year ago. Here's the relevant letter on March 22, 2007. On this and on Iraq nd on Pakistan, his actual judgment simply put him on a level far beyond Clinton and McCain, let alone the current president. Judge for yourself:

Columbia and the Strangeness of it all...

I find it so very strange...as I was listening to Lou Dobbs the other night - a presenter I find very interesting and with whom I often agree - to a degree - was berating a government official about the lack of a fence, the slowness of government (a surprise?) and the fact that Mexico was the main conduit for drugs coming into the U.S.

The gentleman made a valiant effort to talk, to no avail. Lou was determined to talk him down and so he did.
***********************************
Fast forward a bit to the current discussion over Hillary Clinton's guy just gone/demoted over Columbia and trade deals...
***********************************
Fast forward (or backward) a bit more to the President's statement, something about how Columbia is such a great friend and a democracy and so much more "padoodah cah-cah."
*******************
HELLO FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COLUMBIA!!! DRUGS!!!
COLUMBIA!!! DEATH SQUADS!!! KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE!!!
COLUMBIA!!! TRADE AGREEMENT WITH A LOYAL FRIEND? DEMOCRACY? GET REAL!!!

********************
So, how do the drugs get here from Columbia?
Is there any possibility that ALL THE MONEY THE U.S. gives to Columbia might just be GOING TO THE APPROPRIATE DRUGLORDS? Or to the officials who support the drugs?

How are the everyday folks making out in Columbia?
Who owns the wealth of Columbia? What percentage?
Are there private armies there? Why?
Has the U.S. trained anyone there? Given/sent arms?

So much more...some places in Columbia have been classified as the most dangerous places in the world...and this is a country who the President is calling a great friend?

Please.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm...

Peace. Be the Reality - no what is fed to you to believe.
