The Stuff of Movies

A Colombian army helicopter painted white to pose as an NGO helicopter.

Its Colombian army crew that took acting classes for one and a half weeks.

The same crew that dressed up as FARC rebels and NGO workers in white tees bearing the image of Che Guevara.

The helicopter that landed in the midst of rebel territory full of rebel soldiers under the guise of an NGO helicopter arriving to transport 15 hostages from one FARC rebel base to another.

The two real rebels that came aboard the helicopter not knowing what they were getting into.

The rest of the real rebels on the ground watching the helicopter fly away.

The overpowering and stripping of the two real rebels once the helicopter was underway.

The half-second confusion, followed by endless jubilation as the hostages see their two captors naked and tied up on the floor of the helicopter.

The proclamation of confirmation from the NGO imposters: "We are the Colombian army. You are now free."

Real stuff. Major headlines. Go update yourself.

Fresh blood as in new people, not to be taken literally! The older people are getting too stale.

Btw, I just read about the rescue when my pastor mentioned it. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Thank God.

haha i know what you meant, i just couldnt resist. i don think the issue is new people actually. cause the way things are, every new person is going to be exposed as having sodomised someone/something or blew up someone/something with their spouse watching. I just think that whoever does politics should do so out of love for the nation and not for the opportunity to stuff their pockets full before retirement.
