We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us

I am not one of the brightest bulbs on the block. Those people in Washington, D.C., running our country have a lot more going for them than I do. Let me run this by you, however. A lot of those smart people in Washington figured out that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Why? Because he acted like he did. He had mobile labs, underground research facilities, scientists in captivity ... that's what Saddam and his friends said. And that's why the U.S. attacked Iraq. I think. I might be wrong. But that's what they say.

So, why the heck would the wise individuals in charge of catching drug smugglers admit that the U.S. is "nearly blind to air and marine smuggling activities along the entire Gulf Coast (from the east coast of Texas to the southern tip of Florida) and from the eastern coast of Florida to Puerto Rico?"

Like I say, I'm not real bright, but isn't that something you don't want drug smugglers to know about?

And I may be part of a lunatic fringe, but is this a good time to broach the subject of legalization (and taxation) of some controlled substances?

Just wonderin.' I'm headed downstairs. I got a hankerin' for a cookie.
