If you buy drugs, you support Terrorism!
Edited on Mon May-02-05 04:25 PM by goodboy
"It's so important for Americans to know that the traffic in drugs finances the work of terror, sustaining terrorists, that terrorists use drug profits to fund their cells to commit acts of murder. If you quit drugs, you join the fight against terror in America." (and if you use drugs, you join with the terrorists)
President George W. Bush


Well, the vulgar Pig-Boy Limbaugh allegedly purchased TENS OF THOUSANDS of OxyContin pills.

How many US soldiers are now dead because Rush financed the terrorist 'insurgent' attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan?

A recent report shows that terror attacks INCREASED 3 FOLD in 2004!


WASHINGTON (AP) - Terror attacks worldwide more than tripled last year, with much of the increase traced to incidents in Iraq, according to government figures released Tuesday by a senior House Democrat.

Based on a briefing federal officials gave congressional aides, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said there were about 650 significant terror attacks last year. He said that was more than three times the record 175 tallied by the government in 2003. (which was then, the highest on record).

So, will Bin Laden thank his big-mouthed Lieutenant Limbaugh with a box of cigars sent to his prison cell? Just askin.

1. I do it locally...
All my drugs come from the CVS.... how is that supporting terrorism?

Corporate terrorism and price gouging, of course, don't count do they?

3. Huh, Drugs support terrorism?
Well, that being true kind of makes one wonder why our government has not destroyed the poppy fields in Afghanistan, which is said to be the worlds largest supplier of heroin. Does that mean that our government supports terrorism?

5. Afghanistan is producing more heroin/opium than ever, thanks to
Bush.

Afghanistan producing most opium in the world

March 28 2003

Kabul: Ignoring a presidential ban on opium production, Afghan farmers are growing more opium poppies than ever throughout the country, including areas previously free of the crop, officials said today.

The deposed Taliban regime had wiped out opium production. But farmers began planting poppies -- from which opium is harvested and made into heroin -- when the militia was ousted in 2001 because the plant brings in hundreds of times more in revenue than other crops.

51. Now for the really bad news
With a Tidal Wave of Opium and Heroin headed for America from afghanistan. Bush ordered the DEA to turn their interdiction efforts away from heroin and cocaine to increase Marijuana Interdiction. While Bush was Governor of Texas they had an epidemic of teenage heroin overdoses and deaths. The stuff citculating on the streets was too pure. Usually that is an indication that an import source is near and has either lost a stash or has been robed. But herion use in that area was at an all time high.
I'm sure everyone is aware of the Bush II Barry Seals (Deep Cover DEA Agent) Connection. Georgie was was purchasing Kilo's of cocaine from Barry. Using Zapata's off shore oil rigs in international waters as a meeting place. After the Plame incident. Their is no doubt in my mind that George Bush II is the leak that resulted in Barry's death. I also believe he is the leak in the Plame case as well.

The problem Bush has with drugs is that it doesn't also put money into the pockets of his fat cat buddies, where as gas does.

8. Yea, riiight
The bush terrorists are the enemy, and therefore, it is important to
support your local drugs dealer so that the enemy is afraid.

So much depends on what a terrorist is, and i rate the people who kill
and threaten to murder the most poeople the world over as "the terrorists".

So in this regard, bush and his cabal ARE the terrorists and the
cannabis plant and its friends, are the good guys.

Fuck you bush.

There is no bigger terrorist in the world than the USG. The CIA is the biggest drug dealer on the planet. The drug war is a tool of Empire where the CIA can divert billions for the corruption necessary for the New World Order.

35. That's closer to the truth
While some of the drug money might eventually get to terrorists, usually only in a very round about multi step way. The same thing could be said about most businesses. The oil connection is much more direct.

specific hypocrisy in relation to the admin's policy on drugs.

And your point about how ludicrous the drug connection is compared to the oil connection in terms of real money is well taken and correct.

"Too many whites are getting away with drug use," "Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. . . . The answer is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

37. My poll results indicate that most DU'ers do not think Rush will not
be arrested for allegedly committing felonies such as Doctor Shopping, Possession with intent to distribute, and largely financing terrorism by buying drugs. (according to the bushies)

I think he will be arrested, and prosecuted. Whether he's imprisoned for the crimes he himself said too many whites are getting away with remains to be seen.

Here's the poll if you'd like to participate

64. Of course I don't mean people fighting an army.
They're by definition not terrorists, no matter what Shrubco says.

But I just found your sarcastic comment kind of a turnoff. I understand it was tongue-in-cheek, but the thing is that the perspective you're approaching it from implies that you feel decidedly more comfortable being aligned with the terrorists than with the neocons.

To me, they're both fruits of the same tree.

Edited on Tue May-03-05 10:43 PM by Djinn
is different depending on who's definition you use, some describe it as ANY use of violence against civilians in order to further a political goal THAT definition makes the US army terrorists AND the Iraqi resistance AND Osama & friends.

I don't want to be aligned with any of them but I certainly don't feel that the neo-cons are any LESS of a threat than Al Qaeda, it's just that the people THEY kill are apparently less important.

The neo-cons have killed FAR more people than Al Qaeda and my taxes don't help to kill Al Qaeda's victims so I AM a little more concerned with the "respectable" terrorists, if you find that off putting so be it.

73. Exactly!...
...I guess it's "moral" to wage war on drugs at home for the sake of the children; but OK to allow drugs to flourish beyond our borders in a land we "liberated" -- while Afghan warlords (ala bin Laden) use the drug money for who knows what.

I'm an Independent saying that this sort of duplicity is stark and alarming.

Bush has a great deal of conflicting actions & inactions to answer for.

"Homeland security" needs to be addressed at the borders of the homeland. Find the "W" in AWOL in this picture.

How transparent does this admin. need to make it that it is not controlled by the best interests of our people?
