Columbia: the U.S. War for Oil Continues



This is another one my daughter gave me. We all know about Columbia's struggle between paramilitary extremes. Now it seems oil has been discovered in Columbia and the U.S. are moving in. The war for oil is continuing.

Interesting background to the war for oil in Columbia. Harken Energy, a small oil company in Texas tied to George Bush has branched out to Columbia. That's the company George Bush was investigated for insider trading after he unload a bunch of it's stock right before the company announced substantial loses in 1990. So they threw Martha Stewart in jail and let the real criminals run free. Why is that not surprising.

Plan Columbia is continuing as the U.S. military moves in. Once again we can clearly see the war for oil that we pretend isn't happening.
