Is there not a cash crop we can develop that's more profitable for them than drugs? I know, stupid hangin curveball question. Flamesuit on.

No need for a flamesuit for asking a question. I've allways said that if one understand the economics of drugs then you will understand how insane drug prohibition is.

Nothing on the face of the planet, absolutely nothing makes money like illegal drugs. According to the L.P. black market drugs can cost as much as 17,000% of it's free market price.

That's enough profit to entice people to break the law and worse is it's enough money to corrupt the people that make and enforce the law.

Drugs are illegal, not because the politicians love us, but because they make a lot of money that way.

the people that i diss...are the suv-driving liberals who bad-mouth u.s. foreign policy while driving around in their over-sized vehicles.

it reminds me of when sen babo was running for the senate. she had to fly down to socal to take a look at the off shore oil wells and to then pronounce her opposition to more oil drilling. meanwhile, what fuel powered her flight down here?

[Chapita]

Funny how important oil becomes when it is in shortage and the price of gasoline at the pumps go over $2.00 a gallon and almost all prices go up because of the price of crude.

The way to shut this country down is to cut off our oil!

Then even the left will go squirrely!

Where has Leahy been for the last couple of years?
Speak no evil...
Are these liberals just waking up to the fact that this has been all about counter-insurgency from day one?
See no evil...
The line was never crossed because this "line" never existed in the first place.
Hear no evil.

Nothing new or unusual in any of this at all. If you don't want to recognize something simply ignore it.
"I didn't know...Nobody told me...I was unaware of that...I never suspected anything...I never heard a word about it before today."
And there has been a whole lot of ignoring going on in America.
The problems will go away all by themselves...yeah, right!
And remember...this is not about oil!

Play Taps, Bugler.

Yup! I see a lot of mission creeping going on here. It might be a good move. We could use another Puerto Rico.sarcasm off
