Chalerm vows to eradicate drugs in a year

BANGKOK, 25 September 2011 (NNT)-Deputy Prime Minister and Director of National Command Center for Drugs (NCCD), Police Captain Chalerm YuuBamRung, on Saturday presided over a meeting on the practical approach to prevent drugs in the Northern Region at Dusit Island Resort Hotel, Chiang Rai Province.

During the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister stated that he intended to root out drugs problems in Thailand, adding that efforts must start from blocking the entry of narcotics from neighboring countries, combined with heavy handed and rapid crackdown on local drug rings.

The Deputy Prime Minister stated that he was confident that the police force, under his leadership, would be able to break considerable ground in the “War on Drugs” within 12 months.

That's not really the same, is it?

Nope, a totally misleading headline AGAIN

[Soupdragon]

Deja Vu anyone

combined with heavy handed and rapid crackdown on local drug rings.

Has he been tasked by the PM to do this or is that just a freudian slip ?

The Deputy Prime Minister stated that he was confident that the police force, under his leadership

[bunnaag]

Is he also confident that the military leadership agrees to eradicate the lucrative business?

[Nisa]

This guy should be demoted or fired immediately and as well as anyone who thinks he has any part of his mind in reality.

[moe666]

Nothing new about that always making and setting impossible goals for all of there projects. If they didn't make these completely crazy statements there would be something wrong with them

[Joel Barlow]

He and sons may be nuts (?), but that was certainly one of the better chuckles I've had today, and, amazingly, today I've had several.

Mr Happy Toilet might even prove a big help!

Far too vast a subject to even make a dent in in 1 year, might be more believeable if he said he was going to make a dent in yaba and ice coming in from Burma in 1 year but to simply say drugs well thats ridiculous. So let me get this straight not only is he going to stop all yaba and ice coming in and all heroin hes goina wipe out all drugs sold at full moon parties xtc, weed, coke, ketamin and so many others after that then tackle pattaya then on to Phuket good luck with that! you will need it.

"if he said he was going to make a dent"

That's what it appears that he did say.

It not clear whether he:

Vow[ed] To Eradicate Drugs In A Year

[bungalowbob]

The USA and its lap dog allies have been waging war on drugs for the last 50 odd years and have failed miserably. Drugs are readily available everywhere and cheaper than ever. Even when he who mustn't be mentioned was simply going round and shooting dealers it didn't stop them.

When Governments cannot keep drugs out of secure environments like jail then how can they try to keep them off the streets ?

The same will happen here. Lots of small time dealers and suppliers will be rounded up and plastered all over the TV and press but it won't solve the problem. The only way to stop use is by education and honesty about the effects of drugs and not the scare propaganda that they have been using for years

"Chalerm vows to get Thaksin back in 9 months".

[TackyToo]

Is he also confident that the military leadership agrees to eradicate the lucrative business?

...and does that means his negotiations with the African and Iranian drug dealers in Bangkok ended in a deadlock?

[hanuman2543]

How he wants to deal with the addicts???? Bullets instead of therapy like 2003? Good times for big dealers- prices will go through the roof.

[colinscarr]

What are the world's three biggest industries? Oil, Armaments and Drugs, not necessarily in that order. Now a medium sized SE Asian country expects to 'break considerable ground' in eradicating illegal drugs within a year. Whatever you're smoking Minister, I'd like to try some.

[chinook]

Can’t usually be bothered to be sucked into Thai politics, but this Chalerm.......raises my hackles........if he had 2 heads, he’d be twice as nasty and three times as stupid.......aahhh let it go, nothing we can do about it anyway, we’ve no vote.

[Pedzie]

Only way to eradicate drugs within a year... Eradicate all the population

People=drugs

[OzMick]

My cup of shadenfreude would overflow if one of his "darling" sons was busted big time.

[MILT]

Charlem wants to head the biggest drug war campaign in Thailand first, 3 months, 6 months and now 1 year. I don't think his personal drug army needs more guns, they need more bullets. Even if they had all the resources at their disposal like the US, they still wouldn't make this time line unless they were just planning on wiping the board which would need a media black out in the name of national security. Innocent people will be caught up in this crazy scheme once again. I wonder if Charlem will have 3,000 body guards like his master Thaskin did during his reign of terror.

[cardholder]

Fine words - but a misleading headline and another empty promise from Chalerm.

Give the guy a chance just think if he do'es it he can travel the world showing all countries how to do it.

SUPERMAN.

[nocturn]

well chalerm does have one advantage over the last politician to raise a drug war - his sons certainly know who is holding

[fasteddie]

He seriously needs to skin up and chill out.
