If this is a war, what exactly is the exit strategy?
The only things the WOD has accomplished is shredding the Fourth Amendment & making a lot of criminals rich.
Rich criminals? I assume you mean the drug cartels. Yesss, they are very rich. Do you also want them to become successful US business corporations too? The next Anheuser Busch and Jim Beam?
I didn't think so.
If this is a war, what exactly is the exit strategy?
Winning by not surrendering. Yes, there will be casualties. There will be the occasional no-knock raid gone bad. But the alternative to surrendering in the WOT or the WOD is unthinkable.
That's not true; it's also shredded the:
5th [unpaid property seizure/"arresting" property],
6th [tell a jury it's about drugs and *bam* instant taint; they will likely not even consider the legitimacy of the laws],
8th [have you seen the jail-time for possession of even small amounts, or "paraphernalia"?],
and 10th [federal-government expansion and control is self evident].
It is my position that no single policy has been so destructive to the Bill of Rights as has the War on Drugs.
