Les Jones: Bin Laden Planned to Poison America's Cocaine After 9/11

Middle East > Bin Laden Planned to Poison America's Cocaine After 9/11

From the New York Post via Sister Toldjah.

The evil plot failed when the Colombian drug lords bin Laden approached decided it would be bad for their business - and, possibly, for their own health, according to law-enforcement sources familiar with the Drug Enforcement Administration�s probe of the aborted transaction. The feds were told of the scheme earlier this year, but its existence had never been made public. The Post has reviewed a document detailing the DEA�s findings in the matter, in addition to interviewing sources familiar with the case.

What the hell? After the 9/11 attacks OBL looked like an evil genius at first, but it was obvious he mis-judged America's response and just awoke the sleeping giant. But now you're telling me the Great Terrorist Mastermind thought poisoned cocaine would strike fear into the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. American Q Public? And then I guess OBL would blame the poison cocaine on Batman and run for mayor of Gotham City.

Step 1. Poison cocaine.
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Bask in the glory of a restored Caliphate!

What a numbnuts.

Uh. Les. "law-enforcement sources familiar with the Drug Enforcement Administration's probe"???

You're all the time bitching about how "MSM" is untrustworthy and makes up shit. But at least Wapo's or NYT's anonymous source would actually work for DEA, rather than being some random cop from god knows where.

You're right. I should never have sullied Osama bin Laden's good name based on anonymous sources. That sort of thing is only acceptable when it hurts Republicans. Admitted terrorist leaders deserve more consideration.

It might actually be funny if it were...what's the word? Oh, yeah. True.

What a stupid fuckin' plan regardless of whether it was true or not! Any drug lord with half a kilo of common sense would recognize that allowing their product to become poisoned is very bad for business. Do people in the third world develop their opinions of America by watching 80's movies and reruns of "Miami Vice"? If coke started killing people, wouldn't people just stop using it? Isn't that part of the appeal of that particular drug?
