You know the smugglers are out cold on their own product when....

Working in concert with a U.S. Navy P-3 maritime patrol aircraft, Gettysburg approached a suspected smuggling vessel known as a “go fast” under the cover of darkness, launched the ship’s rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB), and boarded before the suspected narco-terrorists even knew Gettysburg was just yards away. This operation was one of the first nighttime boarding’s of a “go fast” and resulted in the seizure of nearly four metric tons of narcotics and the detention of five narco-terrorists.
Oh man, a cruiser snuck up on them and launched a boarding party! You can't get good help nowadays in the drug trade. www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=23027

Drug dealers who are murdering civilians, kidnapping for ransom, forced labor, blowing up public areas, assasinating law enforcement, assasinating elected officials, money laundering, etc... so that some ghetto loser can get his high.

If drug dealers can't even ship their own illicit products and move their own people around without GI Joe breathing down their necks, then al-Qaeda will worry about hiring them to hit the USA.

The screwed up thing about this is that coke in my neck of the woods is way cheaper than it has ever been. When smugglers are getting complacent and resting on their laurels like this it just really means we are not even putting a dent in things.

Hopefully they stay that way but that is a hell of a shipment to lose so I doubt it.

In all, Gettysburg and its embarked U.S. Coast Guard LEDETs detained more than 40 narco-terrorists, and together seized or interdicted more than 750 bales containing some 28,000 kilos of cocaine and heroin. The U.S. Coast Guard estimates this amount of contraband to be worth nearly $1.95 billion to the world’s drug trafficking organizations.“I cannot say enough about this wonderful crew,” said Gettysburg’s Commanding Officer, Capt. Phil Davidson. “They understood their mission, met its challenges, and delivered success time and time again. No one has ever done it better.”

With a USCG boarding team.

A couple of points, if there is doubt about the flag of the boat/ship in question you can stop it to determine it's proper registration. If they are operating in our Economic Exclusion Zone they are subject to USCG inspection to make sure they aren't doing things like "fishing out of season." If the ship is inbound to the US the USCG can board it. Etc, etc, etc.

And Colombia is that way because of our prohibitionist policy.

If drugs were made legal for adults to purchase in the United States then Colombia would export to us through the proper channels. Business men would profit off of it, and both our countries would be better off, however as it is now criminals are profiting off the war on drugs.

Whenever I go to a store and see bags of Colombian coffee, I always imagine an alternate world where the war on drugs has been ended and adults could go in and buy vacuum sealed bags of unadulterated cocaine, where they could ring it up at the cash register and legitimate business men can profit off of it, and the local government gets it cut of the sales tax.

Actually, I think he's onto something.  My plan for the war on drugs would be to legalize it for a period of about 20 years.  Then, after people have been knowingly using it for 20 years, and despite the warning label, I'd send in the lawyers to claim that "Big Cocaine" was an evil corporation preying on these poor innocent crackheads, and sue the cocaine industry into submission.  Bam, problem solved.

People do not commit crime because of drugs, they commit crime because of money. Prohibition makes drugs worth alot of money.

Because of prohibition drugs are not legal, the govenrment never sees any of that money, they cannot tax a sector of the economy that is illegal. Drug money goes to criminals because of prohibition.

Just because government "sees" more money doesn't make the country better, or the people richer. There are plenty of nations with higher tax rates where government sees and takes more of the money from the people and their economies are still lagging, coincidentally those same nations have a more liberal drug policy too.

Personally I say legalize it all.  The drugs will be slightly safer in all likelyhood allbeit still self destructive, but alot less crime.  Hell I would not even tax it, beyond any other business.  If they want to kill themselves good for them, just don't put me at risk or be a burden on the system (we pay for)and have the dignity to die in your own home.

I would love to legalize it just to kill off the bad people. Unfortunately, the bad people haven't been separated into "drug towns" so the rest of us can keep going as if they never existed.

Ah, I see. It's better to redirect the flow of money made from harmful substances from the pockets of crooked civilians and into the pockets of crooked 'gubment officials. After all, with the way 'gubment handles alcohol and tobacco we've got nothing to worry about. We know for sure our health insurance isn't going up when all those addicts "officially" hit the balance sheet because 'gubment is going to rake in so much money that they can subsidize Big Insurance when all the claims come in. Now, I get it!

You're also showing your TOTAL IGNORANCE when it comes to pricing. When prices go down, more product is sold, so it's still worth real money anyway. Look at Wal-Mart or online pricing. They totally contradict your assertion. Crime will not go down because more addicts will do more "small" crimes, or the addicts will just commit the same number of crimes to buy more cocaine. What's wrong with you man? You don't think people commit crime for a pack of smokes or a case of beer just because that middleman Al Capone is dead? Isn't that obvious?

What if the taxes on "legal" drugs go up? Like that hasn't happened before? What are addicts going to do now? Oh gee, commit more crime so they can continue buying!

So we might as well fight the problem as often as we can in as many ways as we can. Since we're paying for the military and they need practice to keep their edge; then we might as well go after real targets, with real cargo, defended by armed men in real conditions.

BS argument. Colombian drug lords aren't paying for TV ads to influence kids. The peer pressure I cited is person to person and occurs way past the babysitting years. It's also a BS argument because you are trying to shift the blame onto parents and away from the CRIMINALS. C'mon, quit with the weak arguments man, it's pathetic.

Like alcohol?
BS point again. Alcohol is a gateway drug to cocaine. C'mon man, face up to reality instead of rattling off a feeble attempt at supporting a lost cause. With all the problems we have with alcohol, even though it's legal, why would we add cocaine into the mix? Smoking and drinking at the same time is a bad combo for a loner, it's even worse if the addict has contact with others. And you're pushing to legalize cocaine, hah!
