Well, a lot of that is to keep the money flowing to the mil. There are Congressional compliance issues for continued aid that must be met.

They are doing a damn damn on the FARC as well.

Plus, the military hasn't forgotten the ass whippin' the FARC gave them last time they mounted an op after the leadership - Casa Verde in late 1990/early '91. Lost a Battalion basically.

Its starting to surface now that the FARC and AUC have been "cooperating" in certain high coca areas - imagine that!
