Praise Jesus, is there NOTHING this Godly man can't do? Just a few days ago, the joo-controlled mass media were all poo-pooing John McCain's trip to Columbia. Now we know the REAL reason* he was there. True Christians™ will be able to read between the lines on THIS story. The Holy Spirit is working overtime in John McCain! GLORY!!
I'd like to see that colored boy Obsama try and rescue American hostages from a terrorist drug cartel in the jungles of africa like John McCain has just done!
God Bless America, and God Bless John McCain! What a Hero!

Colombia frees ex-candidate Betancourt, Americans
BOGOTA, Colombia - Colombia freed Ingrid Betancourt and three U.S. military contractors from leftist guerrillas on Wednesday after military spies tricked rebels into giving them up without a single injury, the defense minister said.
The rescue is the most serious blow ever dealt to the 44-year-old Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which considered the four hostages their most valuable bargaining chips. The FARC is already reeling from the deaths of key commanders and the loss of much of the territory it once held.
Eleven Colombian soldiers and police also were freed as their guerrilla captors gave up without a fight, Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos said.
The Americans — Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell — were being flown to the United States from a military base in central Colombia, Santos said.
U.S. President George W. Bush called to congratulate his ally Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and told him "he is a strong leader," according to White House national security spokesman Gordon Johndroe. He said Uribe in turn thanked Bush for his support, which has included billions of dollars in military aid. French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said he too spoke with Uribe.
The rescue came as U.S. presidential candidate John McCain was visiting Colombia. When news of its success reached McCain on his campaign plane, he said he and two other U.S. senators traveling with him — Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham — had been told about it in advance by Uribe.
Betancourt, 46, was abducted in February 2002 as she was running for president. France in particular has made her captivity a national cause, as she holds dual French and Colombian citizenship.
The Americans, who worked for a Northrup Grumman Corp. subsidiary as Pentagon contractors, were captured a year after Betancourt when their drug surveillance plane went down in rebel-held jungle. They were the longest-held American hostages in the world.
There was no answer Wednesday at the homes of their families in the United States.
