9. Colombia dropped one laser guided bomb in Ecuador.

The bomb struck a FARC camp a few km from the Colombia/Ecuador border. This allowed Colombian special forces to land and recover the Reyes hard drives. The huge wealth of information from this strike allowed them to cut FARC strength in half. There was no serious fallout and the USA isn't about to attack Ecuador. What the USA will do if they are smart is give Ecuador a good trade deal. There are forces trying to stop this because it would pry Ecuador from the Alba ranks. So if the USA is smart it'll pay a third country to take Snowden and warehouse him. This may sound crazy but I would get him to Iran.
