Venezuela launches military operation against drug trafficking in border with Colombia

CARACAS, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela has begun a military operation in the Venezuela-Colombia border to fight against drug trafficking, the country's state-owned news agency ABM reported Wednesday.

The news was announced by Fredy Alonso, general commander of the Bolivarian National Guard of Venezuela.

The operation, named Centinela, will last long and more military staff and anti-drug officials will be deployed, Alonso was quoted as saying by the news agency.

Venezuela and Colombia share a borderline of some 2,300 km which goes from the Amazons jungle to the Caribbean Sea.

1. Ha! Two can tango! They can also keep an eye on those Bushwhack funded death squads
sneaking into Venezuela to assassinate union leaders or the president, and U.S./Colombia military maneuvers prepping for civil war in Venezuela's oil rich northern province (adjacent to Colombia).

If the Bushwhacks can use the "war on drugs" to spy on democratic governments like Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador, the leftists can do likewise to the U.S. client state of Colombia. Now that is being a smart leftist!
