Colombia is no longer tolerating the drug cartels that provided refuge for "former" insurgents after the United States pressured Colombia to hoist the "Mission Accomplished" banner over their long war against leftist insurgents.
President Abelardo de la Espriella means business when it comes to his war against the cartels. Colombia's new president, known by the nickname of "El Tigre." was voted in on a law-and-order ticket and so far his actions in fighting the cartels are seemingly paying dividends — not just in Colombia but in Washington, too.
You may recall that a decade ago Colombia was told to welcome the "former" insurgents into the government. That did not work out.
