There is a lot on President Obama's plate so few people have heard about the Venezuelan general who is wanted by the US DEA. This is from FOX News:
There is a lot on President Obama's plate so few people have heard about the Venezuelan general who is wanted by the US DEA. This is from FOX News:
"Aruba's
government released a former Venezuelan general who was detained on U.S. drug
charges when he arrived to serve as his country's consul on the Dutch Caribbean
island, sending him home Sunday night and defusing a diplomatic fight with its
neighbor."
General
Carbajal is back in Venezuela today He was Chavez' head of military
intelligence. He was greeted as a hero upon his return to Caracas.
As Fausta
Wertz reports,
Carbajal was indicted for allegedly transporting 6 tons of cocaine from
Venezuela to Mexico. My guess is much of that cocaine was destined to the US.
Furthermore,
the BBC reports that
US Treasury blacklisted General Carbajal in 2008 for ties to left wing
terrorists in Colombia.
ABC
reports that Venezuela threatened Aruba, a small island.
What is the US government doing about this? Nobody knows for
sure!
It seems to me that we should be quietly telling the Maduro
government that we expect General Carbajal turned over to US authorities. We
should increase the volume, and economic sanctions, if the Maduro government
plays games.
