Venezuela has long been criticized by the U.S. government for not doing enough against the illegal drug trade within it’s borders. Its’ not clear if the recent anti-drug campaign within Venezuela is a reaction to this criticism or part of a longer strategy.
Venezuelan authorities have launched a new operation against the illegal drugs trade by bombing secret airstrips in remote parts of the country.
The first runway to be destroyed was 15km (nine miles) from the Colombian border in the state of Apure.

Chavez : US Drug Enforcement Agency is a Cartel

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez continues with Operation Piss Bush Off by not allowing U.S. agents to carry out counter-drug operations and calling the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) a cartel that actually aids drug traffickers.
“The United States with its DEA monopolizes the shipping of drugs like a cartel,” Venezuelan Justice Minister Carreno told reporters. “We determined that we were evidently in the presence of a new cartel.”
Of course the U.S. has a different story saying it’s Venezuela that is helping drug traffickers.
