On the 2nd July 2010 the Costa Rica authorized the entry of 46 U.S. warships capable of carrying 200 helicopters and warplanes, plus 7,000 U.S. Marines “who may circulate
the country in uniform without any restrictions” , plus submarine killer
ships to the Costa Rican coast for “anti-narcotics operations and
humanitarian missions’ between 1st July 2010 until 31st December 2010.

With this kind of nation destroying firepower, it gives real meaning to the expression “war on drugs”, but if this a real six month “war on drugs” we should expect to see some fantastic results, right?

Politicians representing the Acción Ciudadana (PAC), the Unidad Social Cristiana (PUSC) and the Frente Amplio (FA) political parties opposed the measure saying that the destructive force of the ships,
helicopters and 7,000 US Marines is “disproportionate for the fight
against drug trafficking.”
