The largest guerrilla group in Colombia ordered an assassination attempt on US President George W Bush during a recent visit there, a senior official says.
Colombian Defence Minister Jorge Alberto Uribe said Mr Bush was targeted in the city of Cartagena last Monday.

Informers and other intelligence sources revealed the attempt, he said.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have long accused the US of meddling in the country's 40-year civil war.

4. Man, I don't wish ill on anyone....but

it's growing more difficult to maintain every day.

I keep hoping he'll just come to his senses.

Fat chance.

6. Id cry.

I'd cry because that would leave us with Dick, who is running the show anyway. Bush is so hated worldwide, that an assasination attempt doesnt surprise me at all.

12. That's a frightening thought.

Then we would have a real dick for a prez.

8. Maybe that's why they tried to keep his secret service out of the "private

dinner. He had to pull his #1 body guard in through the crowd. I wonder if they were planning on something during that dinner and that's why they tried to derail his bodyguards??:think:

9. I don't even believe it

Just a lame excuse so Bush won't have to travel anymore so the god fearin' muricans won't have to deal with the fact that the world hates us. Plus, nice little ploy to get more money to Columbia to fight the FARC.

I'm really getting cynical. My initial response is typically female, can't men get anything right, do we have to do EVERYTHING ourselves???? (Agent Mike, that's a joke. :))

19. I agree.

I don't believe it either. Not even for a second.

13. That's the last thing we need: "Bush the Martyr".

to go along with Saint Ronnie...

I simply can't stand GWB, but he needs to be able to live out the next four years to see the ruin he is bringing and will bring, to the US and the World.

I want that SOB alive and well and suffering from the condemnation of EVERYONE.

And assassination is too good for this clown. That would elevate him to the stature of Lincoln, the Kennedys and MLK.

No thank you. I want him to live and be miserable.

[deep sea]

14. U.S> Presidents have historically always been targeted for assasination..

I don't wish death on anyone....

15. I guess we'll be invading them next

18. I'm biting my tongue!

I won't say it! I won't say it! YOU all know what I'm thinking though. ;)
