Yes. That’s very efficient. I like the way you think.

This guy needs to read about how the British (and others) dealt with smugglers in the early 19th century.

“Where was Rand then? What about Obama kill US citizens with Drone strikes?”

Rand complimented Obama for doing that. There’s a link up-thread.

Me thinks thou protests a bit too much. (If you get my drift)

For some reason, the libertarian types are completely hung up on legalizing drugs. It's bizarre.

Has the entrenched elitist ever said a bad word about Hakeem Jeffries, for example?

He loves to wax on meaninglessly, but I rarely see him actively rebutting the Dem attacks of the present.

Two cousins, one neighbor, two coworkers, all dead from drug overdoses. I won't even dive into the carnage resulting from drug induced decision-making and life choices.

Dislike of government should not be confused with liking drugs, thinking that is going to make you like your government and its policies any better. It won't.

Bingo. We’ve been tolerating their uncivilized behavior for five decades and they have not reformed one iota. They’ve grown bigger and stronger and kill more Americans every year.

Warfare is fundamentally uncivilized. They declared war on us and we’ve taken it for five decades.

It’s like Hamas declaring war on Israel two years ago except Israel did something about it immediately. It’s taken us far too long to wake up.

Rand is despicable.

Why not drone attack the leaders?
This is more PR effect
Makes video and it’s scary
Fairly easy targets

Doesn’t seem to be stopping the total effort yet

From what I read the drug trade from Colombia is now driven by FARC ELN and some right wing auto defense group RUC i think

Little pretense of politics nowadays the leaders want the $$$

Fincas and land holdings in other words wealth instead of guerilla war so much

Kill the top folks

Mexican cartels also have a large vertical footprint in Colombia now

Sinaloa in particular

It makes good tv I guess

Rather than kill the naro-terrorists, Paul would have the US look like Vancouver, BC, Canada

I’m sorry Rand but “Civilized People” don’t let their country be saturated with drugs from these sh!thole countries.

Proving he knows little t onothing bout which he is pontificating:

Quote: These boats can’t go more than about 100 miles without filling up for gas. They’re 2,000 miles away from our coast.

1. Those boats, which are cheaply made, carry many 50 gallon drums of fuel. They are known as “go-fast boats” as they do 40 knots or more, much faster than sport fishing boats, or vacationing yachts.

4. The boats travel at night, without lights, making them hard to distinguish from sea clutter on civilian radar, used by the Dutch and US Coast Guard patrol boats.

2. There are both refueling and lookout boats along the route.

3. It is 24 kilometers from the Venezuelan coast to Aruba and the beginning of the island chain leading to Puerto Rico.

5. Once they get to Puerto Rico, the trip to the US is relatively easy.

6. Coast guards have neither the resources nor personnel to interdict all of these boats, which can be lost during the chase, even by helicopters as the chase at night weaves into and along island coasts.

Paul must be getting a cut or he like his drugs - there is no other explanation for his idiocy,
