"However, many problems still remain, which the strategy does not help solve," Mrs. Ros-Lehtinen said in a letter today to Thomas Schweich, the State Department coordinator for counternarcotics and justice reform in Afghanistan.

Mrs. Ros-Lehtinen said it has been "very disappointing" to many members of Congress "who tried to give the executive branch all the necessary legal tools and support needed " to target major drug traffickers and war lords who "benefit from this massive illicit drug production and trade."

1. CIA funding sources for subversive activities against foreign governments

...unfriendly to U.S. policy, no way Bush and the Bush crime family will mess with that

2. Let Sybil Edmonds speak

and tell everyone how all that heroin is sent through Turkey, and how it is sanctioned from the top down, by our government officials.

3. * ripped on heroin? I thought he was a coke man?!

4. My first thought too

I figured W maybe didn't get what he thought he'd paid for and called the cops. "Officer, I want that country bombed. They screwed up my heroin".
Ros-Leniten? I thought she worshipped the toilet W craps in?

8. * is the type of moran that calls the cops when someone puts

an actual rock in his crack bag. :crazy:

9. I think it would be interesting

to see Little Lord Pissypants ripped on Heroin. It might even make him sound kinda, maybe, sorta o-kay. It would definately make a great clip for Letterman's Great Speeches in Presidential History.

Think of all of the ers and uhs in slowmo.
