Survivors of Boat Strike Were Actively Continuing Drug Mission, Admiral to Tell Lawmakers

56. They NEVER mention the drug boats were not headed towards the U.S.

Those boats were headed to the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) off the coast of Venezuela. Guess what? Those islands are Dutch-owned. Drugs going there are destined for Europe, not the U.S.

Drugs from Colombia destined for the U.S. go to the Yucatán, then through Mexico to the U.S.

Nor do they make it clear that the boats are Columbian, not Venezuelan. They're quite content encouraging murkiness about the whole operation. How many Americans have any idea of that?

But blowing up of the boats are very clearly direct intimidation of the Venezuelan government.

The two survivors were Columbian. The family that filed the human rights complaint are also Columbian.

The whole justification the Trump administration is using for these attacks is another filthy lie.

What do they want? Oil and gas of course. Plus Maduro gone. Trump's earlier failure to get rid of him is bound to be galling.
