John Kelly on Drug War: ‘Drug Consumption in the United States Is the Problem’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TODD: "You as head of south com, the southern military command, your previous job before this, you were testifying on these issues during the time we had the surge of Central American immigration through Mexico. And I remember at the time you said, hey, I stop at the — essentially the Guatemala border there. Your purview. But you talked about the difficulty you’re trying to find partners at the time in central America to help you with this and the U.S. Drug consumption — the U.S. Drug consumers you thought as part of the problem in this. Explain."
KELLY: "Drug consumption in the United States is the problem. Just cocaine alone, when you consider the massive amounts of profit that come out of the United States, the trafficker’s biggest problem is not getting drugs till now into the united States. The biggest problem they have is laundering the money. So when you have that much profit coming out of the united States and that profit is managed by cartels that are beyond violent and so you G to — you go to the Latin American countries, Mexico, the United States for that matter, you mentioned corruption already, the kind of money they can offer an attorney general in Guatemala or a police chief in Mexico City, the kind of money they can offer, if you don’t take the money, they’re happy to send your — you know, your youngest child’s head to your home in a plastic bag."
