they weren't released, they were rescued.

[americanabroad333]

He can't say her name correctly. Why is he talking about this.. he had nothing to do with their release? Trying to associate good news to his campaign? People lets not be so naive.

John "Chuck Norris" McCain, politicians and their attempts to look favorable are vomitous.

Sen McCain does look thrilled with this news.  I doubt he had anything to do with the phsycal act. But who knows he may have been in the know. He does say he had nothing to do with it at the end of the clip. Again McCain looks thrilled with this news.

McCain is a layer, he did not anything about the rescue, he is just trying of get attention with the coincidence of the dates, but 100% sure that Uribe never said any datil to McCain, no reason why to do that....BUUUUUUUUUU McCain

[hernandez90]

He is an American Hero and a citizen legislator!!!! He will win because of his patience and perseverance....

I am from Colombia and my husband works for the military forces. Where aye you from?

[ariestheramone]

And from what source do you get YOUR information? Are you an insider?

[mgalofre1]

You do not have the complete information. The operation was organized 14 months ago. The "R" day, as it was called, was chosen BEFORE McCain went to Columbia. George Bush went 2 times in the last year to Colombia, there were 213 operations from the Pentagon trying to find the americans and everything was unsuccessful. McCain was informed of the possibility of the operation when he was coming back from Colombia. Dont you see that he didn't meet with the hostages!!

[PatBuchanansoldier]

We know you led the Raid john god Bless America and Colombia and God bless John McCain Sometimes Americans have to go in Harms Way for Freedom

[ElPopularVale]

it's funny that's exactly what colombians say too

[finally0726]

Isn't it ironic that the hostages were rescued right after McCain left from Columbia. John McCain the politician!
