Cotton went to Ranger school.

Wasn't this whole incident stolen straight from Tom Clancy, "Clear and Present Danger"?
I mean in the book and in the movie the President decides the drug smugglers are a threat, so they blow them up.
Of course in a book or movie you don't need a declaration of war, or Congress.

If someone breaks into your home, you snatch up your revolver from under your pillow, see them and shoot them. Bad news but probably justifiable homicide.
If you see them fall disabled, but they are still moving on the floor, so you shoot them a few more times... murder.
