Andrea Mitchell not only knows nothing, she suspects nothing.
“the U.S. Coast Guard can’t go after them in Cuban waters.”
why?
Surprise, surprise. NOT! The Clinton Cartel must have a friend in Cuba.
We are dealing with gangsters, criminals, petty thieves and cutthroats with big budgets for big weapons.
Hizballah, Hamas, al Qaeda, all the jihadists are nothing but human beings without a moral compass. Satan has convinced them that he is God and that he is called "Allah".
One of them, the Nazi Ahmadinajad, happens to have an actual nation, with land and borders. But that doesn't make him legitimate. He's still a punk thug. Even the people who elected him don't like him and are sorry they ever voted for him. Same with Chavez who is ruining Venezuela for his own inflated ego. No wonder he seeks comfort in that Soviet/Cuban crocodile. I hope that crok is as dead as rumored.
Obviously if you have to smuggle it the enterprise isn't strictly "free" ... but nothing about exchanging drugs for money violates free-market principles.
