Per the site Obamas First Order: Dont Hurt the Heroin would have been better, the Marines are following lawful orders.
Obama... Ensuring his supply of heroin.
I suppose since his drug dealer friend in Honduras was impeached and evicted from that country Obama finds he has to secure another source of drugs for him and his shady friends.
Controlled substance versus a non-controlled substance? /sarcasm
Informative read. Leaves me scratching my head, as well, as to Barry’s intentions. My last understanding on the Afghan poppy/opium problem was that they were going to destroy/re-seed such fields and then train/re-train the Afghan poppy/opium farmers in how to grow wheat, etc. while propping up Afghanistan’s agriculture market programs. Hmm, not sure now.
Pres. Bush did a great job? Why not change strategy and adapt? There is nothing wrong with a PACE plan.
Senor Sortero will become an even bigger hero in the “Hood”!
Our military needs to be focused on killing the enemy, not plants. I have no problem at all with this.

Well, to each his own...Folks in that part of the world know very little about coke and crack....they know all about cracks of course, but not the drug.

There are a lot of folks in California who’d appreciate that sort of consideration!
Another case of US Citizens receiving inferior treatment.
Who is Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. and why is he the only one who knows about this.
The story smells.
A thought crossed my mind on how to eradicate poppy production.....the Department of Agriculture could ruin their business in a couple of years without the Marines.
NAPALM followed by Agents White, Purple and my personal favorite, Orange.
The world is insane.
