The cops love it, the courts love it, the prison contractors love it, and everyone else making a great living off illegal drugs loves it.

And the general public has bought the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Which is why the money to fund the failed war on some drugs should come out of the pockets of the supporters. Send them a monthly bill for it.

These drug lords are laughing at us for isolating Ramos and Compeon in Prison for simply wounding one of their own! What have they to fear?

I guess it's going to take a few American citizen beheadings and on our soil to wake up Bush! It's not just the Muslims who behead people these days.

The Mexican military is already crossing with the cartels in other encounters with our border security (national, not vigilante) and yet there are those on FR who deny these infractions are occurring.

When can we make this an international issue?

There is a border war being waged by the corrupt Mexican government.

I have news for you, the cartels are already making hits here.

There was a member of the Mexican government (a city council member?) who stood up to the cartels and crossed the border into America at nights. He was still murdered in his own home here.

“BS. Demand was always high for these substances.”

Are you that young? In most of America, the demand for recreational drugs remained near zero until the second half of the sixties.

National Guard are under the auspices of the State Government. No Posse Comitatus is needed to deploy them in the state providing logistical support during natural disasters.

Special Forces, which was the actual question, are U.S. Military and prohibited from being used for police action against citizens

So bottom line is nobody violated Posse Comitatus in NOLA

That sounds like the argument against firearms. “We can take away firearms from the public and criminals wouldn’t get their hands on them.”

Are you for real? Do really thinking arming the border will prevent drugs from getting in? Are you for employing hundreds of thousands of people to also visually inspect every single container into this country? And further would you also be willing to take on the massive loss of GDP as our importing and exporting comes to a complete halt because of the containers that must all be visually inspected?

Maybe they will get Obama friend Bill Ayers to help them with their hits and perhaps bombings...

Maybe Bill Ayers will help the Mexican drugees build a Mexican "We shall overcomae Brigade here in the United States...

Oops! I shouldn't say it, it might give Bill Ayers, Obama and friends ideas... It is bad enough there are strong ties to the KGB, Cubans, and North Vietnamese in the hierarchy of the DNC (and friends of Bill Ayer's Weather Undergound).

But I still think there are charges that have not reached the statue of limitations that Bill Ayers can be tried on...

Someone who claims to have had an important in the bombings of the US Capitol and Pentagon should either be shot or put behind bars...

The 1897 Sears catalog included in its array of products remedies for “opium and morphine habit”, along with those substances of course.

As long as there is demand, there will be a supply to fill that demand. That’s what prohibitionists never seem to understand.

Careful now....you're makin' too much sense.

You know....I could care less if some states passed laws that dealt with illicit drugs.....as long as other states could pass laws that made them available.

The problem is.....our federal government is not obeying the tenth amendment and has no authority in this area. This is how this stupid war has got out of hand.

If the folks in Nevada would like to smoke dope and shoot up.....fine. Pass a law that allows it! Then the junkies can all move there. If Delaware desires to continue making these types of drugs illegal....then "They" can deal with the pushers and all the problems that stem from a runaway Drug Enforcement Cadre.

Soon....you will see folks in Delaware realizing that other states (that allow state regulated marijuana and other types of drugs) have less of a tax burden, less Law Enforcers, less Court officials, less clogged dockets, less death by doing bad drugs (not up to pharmaceutical standards). And more importantly.....the folks in Delaware will see Nevadans buying their weekend "high" at Thrifty, Rexall and Rite-Aid.....instead of having to deal with the "Bloods and the Crips".....and maybe becoming pushers themselves to support their expensive habit.

Maybe.....just maybe the folks in Delaware will then see how stupid this "War On Drugs" really is.....and has been! But, the most important thing to come out of this will be a recognition of the Tenth Amendment and the fact our Federal Government is not obeying the Constitution.

No....I don't do drugs....never have. I do, although... believe in the Constitution.
