"The White House says it believes that Ahmed Wali Karzai is involved in drug trafficking, and American officials have repeatedly warned President Karzai that his brother is a political liability."

Uh-oh.
Double-secret probation can't be far off.

LOL.

I, Tosser, said it HERE on this website, before Woowoo-House was even aware of the problem.

That Karsick's bro is Afghanistan's biggest drug-lord.

It is extremely disingenuous of the American Govt. and media to blame Pakistan for bad Afghan situation when it is President Karsick and his lousy family (more bothers and cousins are even bigger criminals) which is the single cause most responsible for killing American soldiers in Afghanistan!

Intelligence foobars, taliban-cocksucking and weapon smuggling... thank you Mr.Drug-Lord.

When I say, I live in Pakistan and have a better knowledge of the situation, stupid Americans ask me "link link".

I don't need a link, thanks. I already know.

...he's Barry's brother too.

The Taliban largely wiped out the Afghani opium crop back in 2001... just before 9/11 (hmmmm...). If farmers wouldn't agree to destroy their poppy fields, the Taliban would jail them... until they complied, then they would be set free.

Can't let a narco-state go straight on ya-- who's gonna produce all that dope?

if we turn a blind eye, how much is our percentage of the profits?

Now the Taliban seem to have done a 180 u-turn.

They sell heroin to Karsick's bro and buy weapons.

I don't know how they have rationalized it with their former beliefs, but the Taliban are suddenly not short of drug-money.

Nothing.

You are only getting your people shot because of the weapons the "taliban" are buying.

Actually, it isn't the Taliban you are fighting, as I keep saying. It is ordinary very pissed off, Afghans... who also deal in drugs. You can continue to call them "taliban" if it makes you feel better.

If that's the case Tosser then it follows a permission in a certain interpretation of Islamic law which I've read about-- until an Islamic state is established some Muslims argue one can use these types of means to raise money to fight invaders.

Once however the state is established, like it was back in 2001, they would have to stop.

Same thing goes for interest payments.

Here in the States, no one knows what an opium poppy looks like anymore so you can have a few of them growing in your herb/flower garden and know one'll know.

Like any herb, its a beneficial plant when used sparingly. Its all about responsibility. No one has ever died OD'ing on opium.

Rummy's so called "Northern Alliance" which facilitated victory on the cheap, is nothing but a bunch of armed heroine traffickers. Our CIA is in bed with drug traffickers worldwide. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

Poppy seeds are sold here for use in our curries. Specially with meatballs.

Anyway... here is a fun video to watch... Afghans on opium (or heroin.. it is smoked in Afghanistan, not injected).

Possibly something like that.

Afghan army exercise video.

I mean THESE are the guys America wants to train to fight against the Taliban and to protect the proposed TAP project.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Europeans & Americans sure love their dope.

Decriminalize the shit.
Let Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Glaxo-Smith-Kline, et. el...
produce it and sell it to the druggies that want it.

If alcohol prohibition was a loser back in the day-
what do we call this idiotic war on drugs?

If a loser wants to blow his/her brains out with dope/glue/alcohol/whatever - HAVE AT IT!

The world is crawling with Al Capone wannabes.
Legalization makes these clowns GO THE FUCK AWAY.
