Message: [QUOTE="7point62, post: 41896"] The two are now inextricably linked, not just in Afganistan but elsewhere, as the major source of terrorist/insurgent funding. The FARC in Columbia taxes drug cartels for using routes and airstrips under FARC control and is known to trade cocaine for arms. Shrimboats operating off the Honduran and Nicaraguan coast are thought to be transporting cocaine to rendezvous points with fast power boats which go inland and use the many navigable rivers through those two countries to tranship cocaine north...and weapons south...along the [I]Corredor de Armas.[/I] I am one who firmly believes drug interdiction/eradication efforts are a vital theater of operation in the GWOT, and before long we may need to escalate our clandestine involvement in a big way.
