That was another reason for the U.S. invasion -- since the CIA counts on drug-money to fund its off-the-books, black operations.
Also keep in mind the report is being provided by the lying, Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM that PUSHES AGENDAS!
CUI BONO, readers?
"Taliban drug trade seen sign of Afghanistan's slide"
"by Anne Gearan, Associated Press | March 1, 2008
WASHINGTON - The Taliban have built a huge and profitable drug operation in Afghanistan while provincial governors look the other way, the latest grim sign of backsliding in a country that America has spent six years and billions of dollars trying to salvage.
The United States yesterday issued a report concluding that Afghanistan now produces 93 percent of the world's opium poppy. The trend is occurring amid a resurgence of Taliban militants....
The problems have worsened rather than diminished under the watch of the US-backed government in Kabul and the relatively small number of American forces stationed in the nation while larger numbers are deployed to Iraq....
That is the situation despite the $140 billion Congress has appropriated for Afghanistan since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that were the original reason given for US involvement. Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is still at large, thought to be somewhere in the tribal lands along the border with Pakistan. The US money has gone for military operations, base security, reconstruction, foreign aid, embassy costs, and veterans' healthcare....
I'm tired of the propaganda and lies, readers.
And some of that money went to veterans healthcare?
Yeah, right, tell me another! All I see is money out of the country!
Afghan farmers grew more poppies for opium in 2007 than ever before, the report said, the second straight year of record production in the nation the United States invaded after the Sept. 11 terror attacks...."
Gotta work 9/11 in there again, don't you, MSM?
