Then again…
In fairness to Bushies: this is a good sign of straightening priorities away from Drug War and toward hunting Islamo-wingjobs. Two hopeful grafs, one frustrating:
The Pentagon is to scale back its £800m-a-year war on the narcotics trade to free up special forces troops, reconnaissance aircraft and satellites for the battle against international terrorism.
…
Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defence secretary, is spearheading the move to bleed off and redeploy cash, manpower and equipment "because of the changed national security environment after September 11".
…
Colombia, the focus of the campaign to clamp down on industrial-level trafficking by the powerful cartels, is to remain an exception to the proposed cutbacks.
Wolfowitz really seems to be a good, smart guy. May be why he doesn’t make it to the top echelon.
