#1 I think this was posted some days ago... and it's highly unlikely.

The "good" cocaine for the wealthy would be screened thoroughly. People dying of poisoned crack would hardly terrorize anyone but the crack addicts.

Also, I don't see how Bin Laden would "purchase tonnes of cocaine". And then what? You invest in a trade but you don't buy the stuff to hide under your turbans.

It's still a good idea to keep a very close eye on the relationship between drug lords and terrorists.

#2 This plan would kill about 90% of 20-35 year olds in Britain...

#3 Poisoning cocaine would increase demand for opium . Cocaine is grown in Catholic Latin America. Opium is grown in Moslem countries.

#5 Cocaine and heroin. Apples and green beans. Very different. Not really interchangable.

#6 No, Osama, you've got it all wrong. You give them the first taste for free. Then you've got them hooked and they come back for more. No sense poisoning them.

#9 Not very smart. Even the Democrats would turn against him if he messed with their drugs.

#10  Even the Democrats would turn against him

Not to mention the narco-Columbians. I hate to be critical of disfigured, one-kidneyed lunatic living in a cave in Waziristan, but strategy does not seem be be ol' Binny's long suit. So far, in his attempt to bring America to her knees, he has managed to lose Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Libya. Not exactly General Giap.
