The ever effective "war on drugs" has got a new metric to gauge its success. Nevermind the fact that every human being in this country is no more than three phone calls from having any illegal drug
delivered right to them, the DEA in all its wisdom has found a new indicator of success:
Dead children.U.S. and Mexican officials say the grotesque violence is a symptom the cartels have been wounded by police and soldiers. “It may seem contradictory, but the unfortunate level of violence is a sign of success in the fight against drugs,” said Michele Leonhart, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. The cartels “are like caged animals, attacking one another,” she added.
Makes sense. Dead people is a good indication that we're winning the "War on Terror," too, and it's being brought to you by the same people.
