Gen. Bedoya exposes FARC, Wall Street narco-alliance

by Valerie Rush

Harold Bedoya (ret.), the former Colombian Defense Minister and Commander of the Armed Forces, visited Washington to warn that the Clinton administration must end its support for the “peace at any price” policy of Colombian President Andrés Pastrana, which has brought Colombia to ruin. If the United States does not give its full political backing for a war against narcoterrorism, the world could soon see the establishment of the first “coca-republic”—and the drugs, of course, are destined for the U.S. market.

They asked him about everything from the economic crisis confronting their constituents, to racism in the Department of Justice, to the nature of the military threats America might face.
