US official declares war on drugs a success



A senior US drug official yesterday hailed Thailand's war against drugs as a success.

William J. Snipes, the regional director of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, said the war on drugs has been effective.

``Whether that's a lasting effect, we'll have to wait and see. Temporarily, we look at it as successful,'' he said. (snip)

(snip)The government began a violent crackdown on drugs in February and plans to announce the country drug free ahead of the King's birthday on Dec 5. (snip/)

3. Rushbo is Totally Rehabilitated

And Jeff Christie is, too.

And they are both back to making over $20 million a year pratting Family Values, and living the life of the FRIKKIN HYPOCRITE.

So stop all your liberal whining, and do as Rushbo himself does: condemn a few drug users. It will make you feel a lot better about yourself (hint: practice your smirking and your winking first).

8. 'So Thailand (ThH) reduced it's 'market share'

to accommodate the 'increased' production in Afghanistan (AFh), while Burma (BuH) remains the same...as analysts predict the heroin market will remain steady and bullish'

9. Violent crack down

Hmmmm....does that mean they're shooting drugs?

[Kitsune]

10. In Thailand

It's pretty much legal for the cops to shoot you without a trial if you're suspected of being a drug dealer, or so I am told by an asian studies major currently living in Asia.

Yeah, there's a policy we should praise and emulate....

11. Good. Now let's tackle the war on illiteracy. n/t

12. That man's obviously a terrorist.

It's terrorist sympathizers who are preventing drugs from being legalized so they can keep the prices up and fund their evil deeds.

Anyone against legalization of drugs is helping terrorism. The war on drugs is the war FOR terror.

Arrest that man and deny him a lawyer.
