Watch As Drug Boat Detonations Continue: Three New Strikes Put Drugs on the Ocean Floor

One has to question the intelligence of the people who keep sending drug boats out into the Caribbean and the Pacific with the intent to smuggle their cargoes into the United States, given the rate at which Southern Command is interdicting these boats, converting them into flying spare parts and sending their crews to the bottom to serve as fodder for bottom-feeding fish and crustaceans. That's all worth doing, and now, on Tuesday morning, we learned that three more of these boats and crews were given a dose of the Smuggler's Blues.

Whining and pearl-clutching by Democrats and their fellow travelers notwithstanding, this is an important exercise. These are bad people, and they are arguably waging chemical warfare against the people of the United States. These are people who are raking in a lot of money, enabling American addicts, who are also enabled by the Democratic administrations of some of our major cities, which allow the festering homeless enclaves that are all too often hotbeds of drug sales and use. It's a multifaceted problem, but it starts with these boats.

That's why blowing them up is a good thing. That's why Operation Southern Spear should continue until the drug boat forays stop.

And, once again, Southern Command has proven that there is no problem that cannot be solved with a suitable application of high explosives.
