Obama and the FARC

The Colombian people are overwhelmingly thrilled at their government's audacious rescue of 15 hostages held by the leftist terrorist group FARC. Meanwhile, a brief dip into the deep pool of Google finds some intriguing bits of news as relates to the FARC and Barack Obama. Here's one such story from the March 7 issue of Investor's Business Daily. And the Republican National Committee recently highlighted Obama's FARC faux pas. Also, as Jim Geraghty at National Review reminds us, Obama has already promised to meet - without preconditions of course - with Venezuela's leftwing dictator Hugo Chavez, the primary financier of the FARC. Oh, and one of Obama's big fundraising "bundlers" has already cozied up to Chavez.
