Lucianne.com provides several links this morning to stories about the daring Operation Jaque, Colombia's surprise rescue operation which freed former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages held by Marxist terrorists. Some had been held for years. It's an amazing action and the free world should be very grateful to Colombian President Alvaro Uribe (photo at right) and the country's military for their efforts to secure standards of freedom and justice in Colombia.I wonder how those Democrats who have so stridently stonewalled President Bush's attempts to create a free trade agreement with America's key ally in South America are receiving the news today? Will this operation, done at a great risk to the troops involved, swing Nancy Pelosi and her fellow ingrates to a more enlightened, more responsible opinion on Colombia?
Uh...don't wait the barbecue on that hope.
