Granted, it is a few dozen bungled policies ago, but remember when we were blowing up fishing boats in the Caribbean as part of the administration’s Operation Dude Bro antidrug strategy? Well, the results are in, and they are sadly predictable. From The Washington Post:

In a recent assessment reviewed by The Washington Post, DEA analysts found the strikes had failed to affect the supply or price of cocaine in the United States and had led traffickers to diversify beyond go-fast boats and to avoid international waters, opting instead for larger boats and hemming close to coastlines, where U.S. forces are less likely to open fire. In a closed-door briefing last month, Pentagon officials told lawmakers the strikes in international waters off South and Central America had not reduced its purity.

On the one hand, it’s somewhat comforting. We now know that this misbegotten band of boobs and yahoos has formulated an antidrug policy that’s as futile and dumbassed as those of every other administration that killed people with promiscuous glee, blowing fishermen out of the water and claiming, utterly without evidence, that they were all drug couriers.
