It seems to me the discussion was about a statement made by a former Venezuelan Vice President claiming Venezuelans had purchased 18 war planes and was having them delivered to a "US military base" in Colombia. So the question in my mind is, does this makes sense? I think it doesn't. As far as I know there are no "USA military bases" in Colombia. And it sure doesn't make any sense for a civilian group to purchase 18 war planes to attack Venezuela. It's truly bizarre.

So let me think....I bet a Colombian corporation negotiated the purchase of a small fleet of medium sized civilian planes. This information was passed to the FARC and they shared it with their Cuban and Venezuelan friends...then this item was inflated by the Venezuelan to get ratings for his TV show...
