Colombia's Military is On Maximum Alert! (Is War Imminent?)

Earlier this year, Remixx World! posted articles about a possible South American war called Hugo Chavez Warns of War in South America and Venezuela Breaking Off Diplomatic Relations With Colombia (South America War?). Now, the Nation of Colombia is on maximum alert due to these rising tensions with Venezuela.

Colombian Defense Minister Gabriel Silva issued the warning after a meeting of the country's national security council in Arauca, a city on the eastern border with Venezuela.

He said President Alvaro Uribe and the military forces of Colombia were intent on remaining calm "because they know there are provocative forces on the border that must be avoided at all cost.''

But this "does not mean that we are not prepared or are not on maximum alert to prevent any aggression against Colombia, against Colombians or against our territory."
