Sorry Liberals, no fix for you 

The U.S. Coast Guard seized over five tons of narcotics, including 8,700 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $64.5 million, in the Caribbean Sea, officials said.

The crew of Coast Guard Cutter Diligence, a 210-foot vessel whose primary missions are counter-drug and alien interdiction operations, enforcement of federal fishery laws and search and rescue operations, seized the contraband over two major interdictions in August and September in international waters of the Caribbean Sea, according to a statement from the U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday.

Diligence’s boarding team interdicted the vessel, seizing 1,500 pounds of marijuana. The contraband was transferred to and offloaded by Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton (WMSL 753), as part of the largest quantity of drugs offloaded in Coast Guard history, in Port Everglades, on Aug. 25,” the USCG said.

Almost one month later, on Sep. 6, a maritime patrol craft spotted another suspicious fast-moving vessel approximately 240 miles north of Panama.

At least we're getting the drugs and the perps instead of blowing them out of the water without knowing who they are. Baby steps in the right direction.
