Well, a lot of that is to keep the money flowing to the mil. There are Congressional compliance issues for continued aid that must be met.
They are doing a damn damn on the FARC as well.
Plus, the military hasn't forgotten the ass whippin' the FARC gave them last time they mounted an op after the leadership - Casa Verde in late 1990/early '91. Lost a Battalion basically.
Its starting to surface now that the FARC and AUC have been "cooperating" in certain high coca areas - imagine that!

I am stunned.
Next thing you will be telling me is that the ELN and the FARC cooperate occasionally as well.
One thing those groups are not is socialist or communist. They are all pretty good market capitalists out to make a profit.
