Thanks
Yes Nixon said something about a war on drugs but it went nowhere. He did start the DEA which laid the groundwork.

The problem I have with you, Asslips, is that what you post is so very often complete fabrications.
Politico is always ifffy, as a completely biased mouthpiece for the the democrats, but what you post his is simply false.
{In June 1971, President Nixon declared a “war on drugs.” He dramatically increased the size and presence of federal drug control agencies, and pushed through measures such as mandatory sentencing and no-knock warrants. Nixon temporarily placed marijuana in Schedule One, the most restrictive category of drugs, pending review by a commission he appointed led by Republican Pennsylvania Governor Raymond Shafer. In 1972, the commission unanimously recommended decriminalizing the possession and distribution of marijuana for personal use. Nixon ignored the report and rejected its recommendations.}

Why, because you posted bullshit? You always post bullshit. You are never reliable. You flat out make up 90% of what you post, and the rest comes from questionable sources.
Oh and FYI, the "War on Poverty" wasn't started by Bill Clinton, either....
Your own link points out that you're a liar;
{After the Gary Webb report in the Mercury News, the CIA Inspector General Frederick Hitz was assigned to investigate these allegations in 1996. The CIA director John Deutch pledged that Hitz would present his findings in three months. But for almost a year and a half, there was little news. Then on December 18, 1997, stories in the Washington Post and New York Times appeared, stating that Hitz had found "no direct or indirect" links between the CIA and cocaine traffickers, despite the reporters never seeing the report. This story of no links between the CIA and cocaine traffickers was quickly picked up by the networks.[15]}
Again, nothing you post can be trusted, you are a lying fuck who either fabricates, misattributes, or posts out of context.
I'm fully aware of the witch hunts, I'm also aware they utterly failed.
From Nixons right hand man at the time.
Haldeman's Diary Reveals The Real Picture Of Nixon - Philly.com
H.R. Haldeman entry: Monday, April 28, 1969. President emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this, while not appearing to.
No such thing as coincidence.
Agains - IF the words are actually Halderman - which is a HUGE if, given the blatant lying that is so common from the left, it still is heresay.
You've got empty pockets again, Cletus.
