remember the war on drugs? no one is talking about it. did we win?

[mopaul]

or did we just say no? aren't there millions of political prisoners whose only crime is enjoying a good smoke?

aren't there still tons of cocaine flowing like a river over our borders? aren't poor people with a rock of crack still being given long sentences? don't senator's sons busted for meth still walking away scott free?

no one, on either side is talking about the once famous, but utterly forgotten war on drugs.

1. HAHAHAHAHAH!

"Did we win?"

That was great!

The war on drugs is a sham like all the other "Wars on stuff" that Repubs have started. Keeps a lot of people locked up who might otherwise vote!

[JayS]

6. And once they are out of the pokey they still can't vote. n/t

n/t

[GreenArrow]

2. it's being incorporated

into the War(t) on Terra (TM).

[Ravenseye]

4. I'm glad I'm not the only one..

that's been hearing terra....

War on Terra. I turn to people and ask "Did he just say we're going to war against the earth?"

WE WILL CRUSH THE EARTHLINGS!

[goju]

3. Not until the heroin trade gets back on track

Dont forget we put a dent in the Afghan poppy crop for a while. It wont take long before its the next best issue.

[JayS]

5. The War On Drugs is still going strong. Reporting on it is just...

...not in fashion right now. The violence brought about by this War still makes the headlines daily, but that is about it. The abuse of the mandatory minimum concept is still rocking and rolling also.

[Dirty Hippie]

7. We are not suppose to "win"

Reading "The Big White Lie" by Michael Levine, a retired DEA undercover agent who exposes the roll of the CIA and our government in the drug trade.

[GreenArrow]

9. oh we'll "win," it's just going to take a while

"Our war on terror. . . will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated." GWB (9/20/01, WhiteHouse.gov)

"We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of this great nation." GWB (Bush at War, -- Bob Woodward 11/02)

"This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while." GWB(9/16/01)

"Who cares what you think?" GWB (To a reporter, Philadelphia, 7/4/01)

[SheepyMcSheepster]

8. stop the prohibition!

[cosmicdot]

10. those who win are those who profit

Poppy Bush comes to mind with both the "war on drugs" and "war on terra" ... I think he had a hand in setting up both 'profit centers' ... and, the Carlyle Group to manage it all ...



I liked the incorporated into the War on Terror response above.

[arwalden]

11. It's Now The War On Homershexurals

[swag]

12. We WON!

[90-percent]

13. war on drugs

I'm so happy the USA is setting records for prisoner population. I hope the War on Drugs doubles the prison population in the next five years.

I wish we had enough police to say, put 25 million people in prison like they deserve.

-85%
<its sarcasm>

[swag]

14. Yeah, we need to fly our "Incarceration Nation" flag high and proud!

[swag]

15. Anyway, increasing our prison population keeps unemployment low

so quit whining!

[librechik]

16. of course we won. Haven't you noticed how hard it is to get a

bag of weed nowadays?

:smoke:

[leesa]

17. You are so far behind...it's the 'war on terrorism' now.

Same goal....steal resources and force colonialism.

[spanone]

18. NO! but you can bet there are billions is profits.

There are entire industries built-up over the 'drug war'. And just think, all that money being laundered has just the hint of blue collar crime. The war on drugs is as vapid as the war on terrorism. Some profit and some go to jail.
