#1 Wouldn't bother me a bit if they did this. But I can understand the drug lords' position. It's strictly bidness.

#2 Article: The other was their fear of retaliation from the U.S. government once its citizens started to die from the drugs, according to sources.

They may remember what Uncle Sam did to Pablo Escobar.

#3 And to prove it, I have bin Laden's passport with a Columbian entry stamp.

#4 Damn! If the Colombian "drug lords" had accepted at least a portion of Binny's proposed spiked coke deal, we would have by now witnessed the demise of 90% of Hollywood stars. The Dems would be outta money and we would have been spared the Left Coast nitwits' ramblings.

#5 I don't believe this story because I don't think Bin Laden would bring the Columbians into the real plans at all. He'd buy a ton of blow with the intent to make money off it to buy weapons, then spike the blow and have his own folks distribute it to the streets.

The problems with the plan are numerous. First it's self inflicted, folks could just shift to X or some other drug. The administration might not care when they see who is dropping off and it might cost Binnie some of his tacit support from the left. Not much of a plan.

#6 The plan was defective because it wouldn't hurt the West. On the contrary we'd be much better off if self-destructive parasites were allowed to take their actions to the logical conclusion, whether cocaine addicts or leftist moonbats.

#10 "Sources said the feds were told that bin Laden personally met with leaders of a Colombian drug cartel to in 2002 to negotiate the purchase of tons of cocaine, saying that he was willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to finance the deal."

UBL met with Colombian drug lords personally in 2002? Where??? On the Caribbean beach with a beer, watching the WoT on TV?

#11 I think the C.I.A. should go ahead with the plan. Purge Hollywood and damage the drug trade.
