Using high tech electronic drug sniffing dogs, and you know, it might just work.
Developing hand in hand with the Star Wars Missile defense system, foolproof technology will be the end all solution to the ongoing drug war that Dumbya is committed to winning. Placing all of his faith in the same advisorial people who have guided republican presidents in matters that they have no capacity to understand, Bush has formulated, some say with a characteristic and unique brilliance, another use for the hardware of star wars, and clearly believes that this added benefit is what it will take to convince the American public to pay for it all.
Administration backers acclaim the Drug Wars concept as a foolproof and impregnable barrier against drug trafficking from abroad.
Skeptics, however, pooh-pooh the very idea of astrodogs as the linchpin of a deterrent system. "It's badly flawed," scoffs one.
"Some defense system, when dogs spend more than half their lives asleep!"
Other critics point to the system's "exorbitant" $300 billion estimated cost. "And that doesn't even include all the freeze-dried kibble those mutts will require," snorts one Capitol Hill doubting Thomas. "A bonanza for Big Dogfood, a burden for the hard-working American taxpayer."
