Sure Columbia found a computer

Columbia’s national police chief, Gen. Oscar Naranjo, claims his government has found a laptop computer belonging to left-wing rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a computer that allegedly has documents showing FARC is interested in buying uranium.

This line of international affairs BS is so straight out of Washington, specifically sounding like neocons in the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans drew it up, it’s no wonder Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have both moved troops to their borders with Columbia and, temporarily at least, suspended diplomatic relations.

As I said, this sounds like an OSP, or similar neocons’ group, baby.

BushCo probably has a few dozen laptops still on hold in the Whatagon’s Office of Special Plans. Besides the Iran and FARC ones, there's the Libya one, which didn’t have to be used, maybe the Somali one, the Syrian one, the Hezbullah one, etc.

That said, this idea could spread. Picture new Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, or new PM Vladimir Putin, announcing he has just found a Chechen laptop. Or that China has found a Tibetan, or Mongolian, or Uyghur laptop.
