"Just say No" -- Bush dashes Myanmar's hopes of anti-drugs recognition.
(From Agence France Presse)
ATTENTION - ADDS quotes ///
President George W. Bush accused Myanmar of failing to adequately battle drugs production, in a body blow to Yangon's calculated bid to shed its reputation as "narco-state."
The decision featured in the president's annual report to Congress listing countries which fail to meet US standards for combating the drugs trade, and which are therefore face US sanctions.
But even as the decision, which had been expected, was officially confirmed, the State Department noted some progress in Myanmar's anti-drug campaign, apparently keen to encourage future anti-narcotics efforts.
Myanmar made a strenuous effort to convince the United States that its oft-trumpeted anti-drugs operation is genuine, and reacted with characteristic bile when it realised late last year its campaign would founder.
Bush certified Friday that Myanmar had "failed demonstrably" to fight drugs production.
