Columbian Soldiers being Trained by US Troops
Columbia is our cat's paw in Latin America. The so-called 'drug war' is actually a cover to funnel millions of dollars in weapons and military support to Columbia, to fight or invade Venzuela, not just for counter-insurgency against the FARC. U.S. troops are training and advising in Columbia right now for this purpose.
In addition, to think that the Columbian government and the CIA are not hip deep in drugs themselves is to delude yourself. The 'anti-drug' canard against the FARC is a commonplace - to paint anti-goverment organizations as drug-dealers allows the social issues to fade into the background.
Clinton's 'advisor' supports this policy - just like George Bush. And Clinton's opposition to the treaty is, as one poster already noted, suspect. More electioneering until she gets in office... and then, the real "Hillary" can re-appear.
