Ethical arguments aside, this operation costed at least several hundred million.

It cost 80 people and counting their lives. It cost homes and it destroyed the livelihood of dozens of Venezuelan fishermen. It will cost the country lifetimes devoted to the miserable task of once again bulking up the military and training people in the art of killing, in hopes of improving civil defense.

Fiscally this is a terrible use of money.

It was a rape. A brutal and callous use of force that will haunt the country for a generation to come.

Even if it didn't cost a dime, it would have been a horror to perpetrate on anyone, much less an entire nation of people.

What we did was Venezuela's 9/11.

Truthfully just misread what you typed the first time. Coffee is now finished and I understand you now.

We're on the same side
