I knew Obama loved Coke and Terrorists, but damn!

[Devastatin Dave]

So the Obama administration wanted to get the Iran deal so much that they ignored drug smuggling into our country by Hezbollah. The guy loves coke, muslim terrorists, and making the United States left safe with this stupid deal with Iran. Obama was an absolute piece of trash.

Simple equation to remember:
Bad for the United States = Good for Obama
Good for the United States = Bad for Obama

Please read the story. Its pretty amazing...

Don't have the time to read this, but it's all allegedly it seems. If he denies it, I will believe him of course. #moore4senate

Besides, when there is a demand, there is a supply, stop snorting so much cocaine in the US and the market will solve the problem. Why ywould you want the Obama nanny state to solve your drug problems?

Coke from Hezbollah, hmmmm. Coke doesn't come from there only heroin

[Crandar]

Τhere's no drug smuggling by Hezbollah. Simply put, some Lebanese who had migrated to S. America because of the civil war, have cooperated with Hezbollah and been involved in drug trafficking.

Ayman Jouma, for example, was not a member of Hezbollah (not even the prosecutor suggested otherwise), just a guy who might have donated some money to the organisation. It's basically a conspiracy theory touted for PR images purposes and by the DEA.

The DEA lacks funding after 911, so they try to present every drug dealer as a terrorist, in order to get funding. By that standards, every American administration should be imprisoned for tolerating the existence of CIA.

Is DD suffering from some chronic degenerative brain pathology or is this some post-humour humour that is so advanced I can't understand it?

The whole topic of Narcotics is so complex and convoluted, running over decades with countries both cracking down and supporting all parts of the chain - sometimes at the same time - that it takes a... "special" person to distill this down to the "fault" of any one person - except the idiot(s) who made it illegal in the first place.

Given the "simple equation" in the OP, it's probably a genius piece of complex post-humour.

Consensus is that he is never taken at face-value.

DD has always advocated against cocaine. Inspiring words from 1986:

So looking at this thread and the old school posters I feel like this is a necro-thread albeit the dates.

So when do we get the old band back together and go on the road :D.

If the band is re-forming, do you need a drummer?

I've got my old ban-sticks around here somewhere. :daisy:
