The Department of Defense defended its policy shift in a budget document sent to Congress in October: "The DOD position is that detecting drug trafficking is a lower priority than supporting our service members on ongoing combat missions."

At this point it's not detecting drug trafficking I give a damn about. If someone can move a few tons of coke, smack, pot or people, how hard would it be to move a similar quantity of explosives, or other such item, via the same methods?

I don't care about the war on drugs. I care about the "War on Terror" that is not just being lost, it's being fueled beyond any hope of control by the Bushies.
