"Colombian troops raided a sprawling clandestine drug laboratory run by a paramilitary group that was capable of producing 10 tons of cocaine a month . . . . This is the biggest cocaine processing factory we've found this year . . . . In a separate operation, the military announced Tuesday that it had seized six tons of marijuana allegedly belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the country's main leftist rebel group. . . . Workers at the cocaine factory escaped and no arrests were made during the raid Monday in a remote area near the town of Maripi, 50 miles north of Bogota, Matamoros said. The drugs were discovered Monday . . . . and later shown to reporters at a military base in the nearby city of Cali. . . . . Workers at the cocaine factory escaped and no arrests were made during the raid. . . . The drug lab, built about four months ago . . . ."

The factory built four months ago was producing 10 tens of cocaine a month, but was merely the biggest of the factories they've found this year. All the workers managed to escape. The government forces tell reporters that enemy military forces are guilty of dealing in marijuana. I wonder how many tons of that they've found this year.

Yep, we sure invested wisely when we gave Colombia money to battle the drug trade. It reminds me of the plan some witless software development company came up with to give cash rewards to testers for every bug they found. Amazingly more and more bugs were found, until it finally dawned on the managers that developers and testers were colluding on creating and finding bugs, and sharing the reward money.

The best way to battle the drug trade is by the vigorous use of MOABs. That way the peasants will know to stay the hell away and give up the labs.

But who are we to judge this tin pot country's ability to handle drugs. Where I live it now takes an act of congress to get pseudophed. Why? Because of the damn meth labs! I tell these idiot law enforcement folks in my county. "Hey! Just look for the trailors and houses that have a pit bull tied by the front door!" The only way to defeat drugs is to make the little guy rich and free when they turn drug dealers in. In America a bounty always works. The same goes for Colombia. When the peasant knows they are rich they will give up positions and then let the MOAB do the dirty.
