Dobbs: Drug war costs more lives, money than Iraq

If you actually need proof that Lou Dobbs is an idiot, look no further. He reads the statistics right and calls the Bushies to task for misreading them, admits we've been losing this "war" since it's inception, and then calls for "victory"! What the Hel does that mean? Throwing more good money after bad? "Cracking down" even harder?

When we will learn the lesson we should've learned in 1933?

We're fighting a war that is inflicting even greater casualties than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and, incredibly, costing even more money. We're losing the War on Drugs, and we've been in retreat for three decades. Whatever course we follow in prosecuting other wars, we must commit ourselves as members of this great society to only one option in the War on Drugs -- victory.
