Two quick points. It doesn't necessarily have to be Islamic fundamentalists/extremists. Colombia is full of rebels who periodically incapacitate pipelines by one manner or anonther. Usually bombing.

Second, we have already sent about 150 or so troops in there with a serious amount of equipment. My source? A guy who is with loss prevention for a major retailer here in Columbus is a load master on C-141's with an Air Guard unit here and flew one of the missions into Colombia. And as an aside, he also flew a load of orange suited chaps from Afghanistan into Gitmo and I saw the photos taken in route. The guards on that flight looked like the kind a folks you want to have on your side if you ever decide to take up recreational bar fighting.
