"Traffickers tend to migrate to countries where there is less police pressure and eradication"
Yeah, yeah, the JIG is UP, on the "DRUG WAR!"

"Colombia seeks to wean farmers from coca crops with aid and new options" by Juan Forero, Washington Post | May 23, 2009
VISTA HERMOSA, Colombia - Colombia, with $8 billion in US backing since the late 1990s, has tried everything to eradicate the crop used to make cocaine.
Planes have sprayed the country with coca-killing herbicides, and authorities have deployed soldiers and paid laborers to yank the stringy green bushes out of the ground. Record amounts of coca have been eliminated - only to sprout up anew as coca farmers move on and plant again.
Otherwise known as CHEMICAL WARFARE!!!
Now, Colombia's government may have found a remedy palatable to a Democrat-controlled US Congress not only interested in emphasizing social development over military aid for this country but also looking for solutions to consider in Afghanistan, where the Taliban is entrenched and drug crops are flourishing.

And FYI, readers: "U.N. drug control officers said the Taliban religious militia has nearly wiped out opium production in Afghanistan -- once the world's largest producer -- since banning poppy cultivation last summer."

The plan underway here is an ambitious state-building effort designed to incorporate a once-forgotten region into the legitimate economy by bringing in police and courts, paving roads, improving schools, and offering farm aid. The idea is to provide broad incentives for farmers in this town in the southern state of Meta to stay put and grow legal crops.
So, let's see: the U.S. TAXPAYER is going to FOOT the BILL for this PHONY DRUG WAR "solution" while OUR COUNTRY CRUMBLES, huh?
And they wonder why they get the anger!
Colombian authorities are working to duplicate the plan in five other drug-infested regions, and US officials say it could work in other conflict zones far from Colombia.
As if they were really interested in stopping the drug trade.
But hey, what's one more MSM deception and lie, huh? PAPER is FULL of 'em!!
The results are promising: From 2007 to 2008, coca production fell 75 percent in a quadrant of the southern state of Meta that is bigger than Rhode Island, Colombian authorities say. With most hamlets around Vista Hermosa pledging to cooperate in exchange for help, eradication efforts have accelerated this year and the amount of coca here is now negligible. Meanwhile, the land dedicated to the three leading legal crops grew sixfold from last year....
Which means MORE PEOPLE, ANIMALS, and PLANTS are BEING POISONED by our NOXIOUS CHEMICALS -- once again, OVER a LIE!!!!!
Officials measure success not in how much coca has been destroyed but in rising land value and confidence - unheard of even two years ago when this area ranked among the country's top coca-producing regions. Several farmers said in interviews that Marxist guerrillas forced peasants to grow coca, which is then manufactured into cocaine and shipped to the United States.
Who? "undercover US agents posed as rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its Spanish acronym, FARC"
Hey, what is ONE MORE HALF-TRUTH and OMISSION, 'eh, reader?
Right-wing paramilitary squads then swept in to fight for control of the crop.
Yeah, there ISN'T AS MUCH FOCUS on OUR GUYS and their DEATH SQUADS!!!!
Today, 2,385 farm families are receiving emergency food aid and technical help from agronomists as they start to grow rice, yucca, sugar cane, and cacao, officials say. Those who have worked on the program, including foreign diplomats familiar with Colombia's complex and seemingly intractable conflict, said they have never seen hope restored so quickly....
You know, you wonder why the U.S. GOVERNMENT can't do something like that for ITS OWN CITIZENS!
But, NO, the TRILLIONS go to BANKING LOOTERS and WAR PROFITEERS!!!
Well, at least Colombia is WINNING that DRUG WAR, 'eh?
"Colombia’s coca production drops, UN agency reports" by Associated Press | June 20, 2009
BOGOTÁ - Colombia’s coca crop shrank by nearly a fifth last year while cultivation of the bush that is the basis of cocaine rose for a third straight year in Peru and Bolivia, the world’s two other coca-producing nations, the United Nations said yesterday.
The UN Office of Drugs and Crime said the 18 percent reduction in Colombia, the world’s top cocaine producer, from 2007 owed in part to record manual eradication - as opposed to aerial herbicide spraying - of 371 square miles of the crop.
Uh-huh! Yeah, MINIMIZE the WAR CRIME, U.N.!
Traffickers tend to migrate to countries where there is less police pressure and eradication, the Office of Drug and Crime’s representative for Colombia, Aldo Lale-Demoz, said....
Colombia analyst Adam Isacson, of the Washington-based Center for International Policy, cautioned about “one element that should keep the champagne corks from popping’’ in the Andean nation’s government: Peasants who lost their savings in collapsed pyramid schemes in October began replanting coca.
Oh, so you can THANK Bernie Madoff for the INCREASE in COKE, too, huh?
