#2 Lets suppply Columbia with a squadron of A10's...they would totally neutralize the ground forces on both sides. Oh.... some high altitude air cover for a few days wouldnt hurt either.

#5 I think we could handle this without a single pair of boots on the ground. We don't use donkey carts and bolt action rifles bro, we have, no, we invent and manufacture, the real shit.

#8 Actually, the Columbians seem to be handling the situation pretty well, so we'll sit this one out my yippy little puppy. Say hello to your fat friend with the big mouth and little tiny balls that put you up to this for us too. Maybe he'll give you some money or sumthin...

#9 We have troops on the ground. They're called Army A-Teams. Seems like they're having the desired effect.

#13 Just read an article at Air Force Magazine (pdf file) that showed a firepower demonstration. We need to do one of these on the Colombian-Equadorian border, only include the Navy and some Army artillery. I'm sure Correa will get the message (the next one could be through the heart of Quito or Guayaquil).

#14 Funny thing is - ask yourself how the Columbian army got to be so effective...

Its US troops there as advisors and trainers.

So El Presidente, we are already there, you've just been too stupid to notice.

#15 Last I heard American military trainers in Colombia were limited to 800. Private contract trainers are another matter. Correa's golden boy FARC have been trying to kill them for years and made no progress. Why does he think his even less talented military can do any better?

Cut off Ecuador's banana exports to the US and watch Correa wither and die.
