And what have many folks been saying for years?

It seems, we Americans have to find out what our government finally admits elsewhere:

America admits drug war has failed

New cartels keep surfacing, but US drug czar insists the cocaine supply will fall within a year

MEXICO CITY - The US drugs czar has admitted that Washington's anti-narcotics policy in Latin America has so far failed.

Mr. John Walters, who heads the US Office of National Drug Control Policy, acknowledged that billions of dollars of investment over many years have failed to dent the flow of Latin American cocaine onto US streets, but he predicted progress would be seen soon.


Sure it will Johnny Boy, and the sun will rise in the West tomorrow!
