    I read the article in the Parade Magazine this last Sunday...explain something to me please...if most of the cocaine is coming from Columbia why do they patrol the Pacific Ocean...I didn't realize that Columbia was in the Pacific Ocean...so the cocaine leaves Columbia and then goes to some place in the Pacific Ocean...or did you mean that some of the cocaine comes from Asia to Columbia and then to points in the United States..or this ...it comes from countries like the Middle East ...India into points inside the United States...or maybe from Mexico into the United States...but cocain coming from Columbia to the Pacific....thats a new one on me....how does that work....
