"Columbia Connection" CNN Live at Daybreak News coverage before the attacks. 8:30 am September 11, 2001. George Bush didn't create narco-trafficking in Colombia, but he did play a decisive role in turning it into a fine art—and a most profitable one, both financially and politically. During 1979-81, Colombia was producing an average of 10,500 tons of marijuana per year, more than two-thirds of the world total at that time. Almost the entire crop was being exported to the United States, and a well-integrated transport and distribution network had been put in place to market it. But then, a change occurred. In the early- to mid-1980s. Bush's "secret government" apparatus struck a deal with Colombia's then-dominant Medell´ın Cartel, in which it took advantage of the cartel's established trafficking infrastructure, and the cartel shifted into more profitable cocaine trafficking, and channeled large amounts of drug funds into the Contras. Things changed quickly in Colombia, as a result of Bush's involvement. Over the course of the 1980s, national marijuana production fell to slightly more than 2,000 tons per year (the 1989-91 average), which was one-fifth of what it had been a decade earlier, and constituted only 7% of the world total. Cocaine moved in to take its place—and quickly became king. A startling indication of Bush's role in these developments was the testimony given to a U.S. Senate hearing in 1987, where Medell´ın Cartel money-launderer Ramon Milian Rodr´ıguez revealed that he had given $10 million in cocaine profits to Felix Rodrıguez, a long-term CIA agent who ran the drugs-for-guns exchange for George Bush. Milian met with Rodrıguez on Jan. 18, 1985. Four days later, Rodrıguez met with Vice President Bush in the Executive Office Building. . In part, Bush passed off his overt alliance with the Cali Cartel as necessary for his phony war against the rival Medell´ın Cartel. Otherwise, Bush's hypocritical justification for such a criminal alliance was that collaboration with the cartels was a "necessary evil," supposedly in order to fight communist subversion—e.g., the Sandinistas. In the face of unimpeachable evidence that drugs and terrorism are one and the same apparatus, and that allying with one against the other is an impossibility, the Bush administration developed the official theory of "narco-terrorism". Obama is allied with the Sinaloa Cartel today, running the exact same game.
