I haven't heard it yet. I guess if your manpower is halved by desertion and you have only ideological true-believers left, then your pride comes with a sense of shame for your own failures.
I'm tickled pink that they got those folks out, safe and sound. I hope they can effect a similar result for the seven hundred or so remaining hostages. Being held captive by FARC is a form of hell I don't wish on anyone, frankly.

MSM attempts to differentiate notwithstanding, it's good that some fruits of our investments are being celebrated now.
It might be a safe bet that Ms. Betancourt will be a friend of America for the rest of her life.
