Colombian traffickers still provide 90% of cocaine in the US

think of how much dope 3 billion dollars could buy!

That would be enough to meet the entire US demand for illegal drugs for about ten days. At current wholesale prices, three billion would buy about 120-150 metric tons of high purity cocaine. (A very heavily loaded semi truck can haul about 30 tons, to give you some idea of how much that is.)
 
First, let me say, thanks Columbia. It was good spending the weekend w/ you again. :D

Several senior officials said they were perplexed and disappointed. The White House report said, "There is little interagency consensus for this disparity."


Little consensus? You mean all those educated people couldn't come up with the obvious one: none of it is working.

?

That 3 billion COULD HAVE:

- built schools
- reduced poverty
- funded Medicare
- etc

Or... Bush's #2 idea!

3 more B52 Bombers!

wonderful. the american political / corporate train pushes on full speed ahead! :\
 
A senior State Department official who is involved in the Colombia program said, "Give us another year or so and see if there is any effect." Moreno said the traffickers had "improved their productivity, but I think we are getting close to the tipping point." He is lobbying Congress to renew the financing.

They've been using this same line for 15 years.

And they're completely ridiculous to believe they're going to have an effect. Because America isn't the only market anymore. They're pushing cocaine all over Europe now.
 
It's fucking insane to be spraying mass quantities of herbicides on agricultural land. If they completely screw Colombia up ecologically, crime and oil will be the only thing the country has.
 
this is tragic and insane; how the people responsible for this waste of money, lives and natural habitat justify this to themselves is beyond me; stupid fuckers
 
LOL

the government is so STUPID...and most ppl believe whatever they're told.

like we're winning the drug war. seems columbia has us over a barrel.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
