This damned drug war is a self-inflicted wound and all we seem to do about it is to keep stabbing ourselves.

Hope they got good stuff.

[thoughtomator]

As good as the market demands, I'm sure.

Thanks for the ping and the post!!

For critics of drug eradication, the shift of cultivation to other countries is the inevitable "balloon effect," in which a reduction in one place encourages production elsewhere. Small coca plots have also been discovered in Ecuador.

And billions of our tax dollars are spend to squeeze the balloon.

Sounds to me like we need a Plan Ecuador, Plan Bolivia, and Plan Peru.

[Warren]

Excellent response, spoken like a true capitalist.

[MrLeRoy]

Sounds to me like we need a Plan Ecuador, Plan Bolivia, and Plan Peru.

We need a Plan Freedom.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Freedom for Communist Narcoterrorists to enslave the minds and destroy the bodies of our youth?

[MrLeRoy]

No, minors do not enjoy the full freedom of adulthood.

I don't know why the WashTimes minces words on Chavez's direct involvement. Consider

Chavez has received the announced support of Evo Morales, of Bolivia, a leftist leader of the cocaine leaf growers who just lost out in the recent presidential elections in that country

while ignoring the problem on the border to Colombia enabling it to fester, etc.

Leftists and drugs are natural companions. I'd would not be surprised if more direct statements as to Chavez's intentions regarding drug proliferation.

And after Venezuela, Peru.
And after Peru, Chile.
And after Chile, Haiti.
And after Haiti, Iceland.
And after Iceland, Scotland.
And after Scotland, Antartica.
And after Antartica, Columbia again.

Beautiful ladies, now good drugs.

You'd think Billy Jeff and his brother Roger would make regular trips there.
