New Orleans has been utterly and irretrievably destroyed. George H.W. Bush must be very proud of his New World Order in operation under his son’s administration. Now we have Count Olav (to borrow from Laura Ingraham) as Attorney General (Holy MOSES!) — a man whose loyalties are as divided as his credibility is non-existent, and now a reasonable useful idiot brought in at Homeland Security
All this while the poppy fields of Afghanistan are ready to produce a huge heroin “crop” while George W. Bush presides.
Why isn’t the USA under George W. Bush fire-bombing the poppy fields of Afghanistan?
And what does that have to do with this pooor soul and the assault in New Orleans? What’s happened to this person is going to happen next to our children if we continue to tolerate the way the Bush administration operates, fails to secure the borders, and allows the world to be glutted with heroin.
“Why isn’t the USA under George W. Bush fire-bombing the poppy fields of Afghanistan?”
1. Not enough planes?
2. Not enough fire bombs?
3. Kill farmers?
4. Too spread out as it is?
5. Don’t want junkies going ape on us?
6. We didn’t go into Afghanistan to wipe out the poppies?
President Gore. President Kerry.

You're kidding, right?
In case you didn't notice, running New Orleans isn't among the duties of the President. Saving people from floods isn't among the duties of FEMA. Regardless of the very successful campaign to shift blame for the POST Katrina disaster, the true blame rests on the State and City politicians and their decades of corrupt neglect. The current administration is taking the blame for not fixing in two years what two or three generations of Landreaus have wrought.
Right, the heroin is . . . DING! Bush’s fault. Please.
Here’s the problem with drugs - there’s a demand for them. Heroin is one of those drugs for which there is a demand. Every product has a target demographic. Heroin has its target demo too. Derelicts.
You need to seat the blame for drugs where it belongs - the users.
Either take control of the supply, or kill off the demand. Pick one or both. Interdiction is a non-starter. The bad guy has better intelligence than we do. Intelligence is everything.
At the same time, you can go after the dealers and their suppliers, but you have to execute them, or they’ll just chalk up jail as the price of doing business. You have to limit it to one appeal too, or they’ll run their business from death row.
Drugs are about economics. The disincentives have to be higher than the potential upside. Failing that, you have to wipe out your competition, which means legalizing it, and that’s not going to happen.
Legalized gambling has put a fairly large dent in the mob. The unions are on the wane too.
Bush’s fault. Please.
I’ve seen bigger idiots in life, but you’re in the running.
Are you sure you’re on the right thread?
A real puzzlement to me too.
This flood of heroine will badly undercut the Mexican growers...
