Relatives of the three US former hostages rescued from leftist Colombian guerrillas thanked Colombian soldiers for their daring rescue, their spokesman told AFP.THE IS GREAT NEWS - AND THE RESCUE WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME. READ ALL ABOUT IT!
"The families express their gratitude to the soldiers and the Colombian intelligence forces, who risked their lives in this daring operation," said their representative, Stephen Donehoo.
"We expect that the families will see the faces of their loved ones tomorrow (Thursday) back in the United States, to celebrate the 4th of July (US independence day) together on US soil," said Donehoo, speaking in Spanish.
Colombian Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos said the men had quickly departed Colombia for the United States following the rescue operation Wednesday.
Colombian commandos rescued the three US nationals along with French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and 11 other hostages from Marxist rebels with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on Wednesday.
- I'M GLAD THE FARC KIDNAPPERS WERE IDENTIFIED AS LEFTISTS BY AFP.
- THEY ARE ALLIES OF CHAVEZ AND COMRADES OF DEMOCRATS PELOSI AND DELAHUNT AND JIM MCG0VERN.
- IF KERRY - OR ANY DEMOCRAT - WAS POTUS, THEN THIS ACTION WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED.
- BUSH HAS RELENTLESSLY AIDED THE COLOMBIA GOVERNMENT IN WAYS THE DEMS NEVER WOULD'VE...
- OBAMA - GIVEN THE CHANCE - WOULD'VE FOLLOWED PELOSI'S LEAD AND BEEN TOUGHER ON THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT THAN FARC.
- IT IS NOT MERE HAPPENSTANCE THAT PUT MCCAIN IN COLUMBIA ON THIS FATEFUL DAY:
- HE WAS THERE FIGHTING FOR FREE TRADE FOR COMBIA -SOMETHING THE DEMSFARC MORE THAN THE COLOMBIAN GOVERMENT.
- MCCAIN WAS SHOWING HIS SOLIDARITY WITH THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT, AN ALLY, AN IMPORTANT DEMOCRATIC AND FREEMARKETALLY IN THE REGION...
- A REGION GROWING MORE SOCIALISTIC...
- AN ALLY THE DEMOCRATS AND OBAMA WOULD HAVE ABANDONED, AS THEY ABANDONED SOUTH VIETNAM - AS THEY WOULD HAVE ABANDONED IRAQ.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
MORE HERE, AND HERE. AND HERE, TOO.
