righteouspolictspolitics80...are you saying that the US has alterior motives? I hope not. Don't insult our ex special forces in their aid of drug destruction and elimination. I have friends in SF...their hearts are in the right places. They are there to make a difference. Whether they are still military or contractor based, these guys care and are making a big difference.
the american's must have an incentive to be there. the united states never invests all that money to fight a "war on drugs". they probably get a cut of the action coming from the revenue. take from the columbians give to the americans.
This is an outstanding piece of journalism. Is America fighting Socialism in the name of the "Drug War?" I'd like to hear more about the Political and Economic dynamics behind this madness. Thanks AlJazeera, for countering the Corporate American media blackout of our covert operations around the world.
That reporter used to be the U.S armies spokes person. He was in a documentary called 'control room', where he really was a brainwashed marine, giving out false answers to the reporters...He realized the lies and became a reporter for Al Jazeera
The CURRENT US CRIMINALS IN THE CAPITAL give billions to columbia under the agreement that they buy their weapons from us weapon makers, the same war profitters making billions in iraq and afghanistan..
Why not go after the money launderers, it should be very easy to do. All major financial transactions are kept track of here, it isn't possible to hide the billions of dollars taken in by the drug trade. Maybe, just maybe, the FBI/CIA are supporting the drug trade rather than preventing it.
don't people want drugs to stop being shipped to your country

The last time the US gave arms and training to Mexico to "fight drugs", those with the arms and training went to work for the drug lords!
They are now referred to as, "The Zeta's"
