Looks like $4.7 billion in direct aid to Columbia and appx $40 billion annually have put a combined strangle hold on cocaine over "past quarter century shows that the price of cocaine has tumbled and that purity remains high, signs that the drug is as available as ever."

Stay the course...

(PS. Yes Stalin, I know that every Pres since Nixon has made a big deal about the "war on drugs." "Stay the course" is my new phrase for general ineptitude and a refusal to create a successful plan based on facts. I'm sure I'll be using for either President Clinton or McCain.)
