US OPERATION CONDOR CONTINUES-Security Conference Vows to Push Drug War into Central America http://upsidedownworld.org/main/international-archives-60/3093-security-conference-vows-to-push-drug-war-into-central-america

“We must remember that the war against organized crime and narcotrafficking is an extension of the war on terror, launched by the United States after the fall of the twin towers,” Maximo Ba Tiul, a Mayan Poqomchi analyst and professor explained to Upside Down World. “In Latin America, this must be understood as an extension of the cold war and the doctrine of national security, which were implemented to diminish the struggles of insurgent movements, of social movements, and of guerrilla movements to convert them into political parties and co-opt them into the very system of bourgeois democracy.”

Meanwhile, just across the border in El Salvador, a group of elite army commandos from throughout the hemisphere practiced sniper exercises, while their superiors swapped counter-terrorism strategies during military training competitions sponsored by U.S. Southern Command. The week-long event, known as Fuerzas Comando, is now in its eighth year.

“It’s the strategic level, with the commanders and strategic thinkers from that country, all the way down to the tactical level, where the teams that go and break down the doors and go save people, or, depending upon their requirement, they eliminate a threat,” Air Force Maj. Brett Phillips, the Fuerzas Comando planner for U.S. Special Operations Command South told the American Forces Press Service.2
