Watching the Netflix series Narcos. Competency in the Colombian military is not a trait by any measure.

Sure but even with cronies you expect them not to resort to supernatural explanations.

They (Colombian military) thought Pablo Escobar was a mystical being that could appear and disappear at will and show up at your door to kill your family.

As a a colombian, please stop thinking that a Netflix show is an accurate depiction of Colombia's history.

The shit they've been trying for decades hasn't worked, might as well give the whacky ideas a shot.

As our president says, the guy has wacky ideas but he's not incompetent by any means. I had not read about him pulling out a crucifix in a police operation, but other than that I don't see the problem. Remember that most of the wacky things he's said was through his personal social media (like his personal WhatsApp) and in this particular interview the reporter was asking specifically about his personal beliefs.
