Flutterby™! : "we would be forced to respond"

It will come as no surprise to most of those who watch the United States' ham-fisted foreign policy and hypocritical moralizing that the current administration has become a parody of the South Park movie: U.S. has threatened that there will be consequences if Canada loosens its marijuana laws:

"We would have to respond. We would be forced to respond," said ["right hand man" to U.S. "drug czar" John Walters, David] Murray.

This raises some obvious questions. First off, what's he doing with his left hand? But "forced to respond"? Them's some ominous words. And we've noted before that the feds have found "a bunch of pot-smoking sick people" reason to call in reinforcements.
