What the hell is going on here ? Where’s the so-called “War on Drugs”—where’s the god-damn “Drug Czar”—where is Congress on this ?—why isn’t this outrage being pursued by the mainstream media ?—why is this being allowed ?

Every “reasonable” person agrees that this is a completely unacceptable situation , yet it is being handled like a 2nd page story. There has “never” been a better opportunity than now , to deal a deathblow to this poisonous industry. We have free reign over this country (Afghanistan) and its easily within our military capabilities to put an end to opium farming for decades to come.             

This product finances Osama and his murderers and kills thousands of Americans each year (more than the World Trade Center). In a very real way (this is not an abstract), Osama is still killing our people , every day , with this product. They wanted so much to find the so-called WMD’s—- well , if they bothered to take a look right under their noses—they’d see these 500,000 acres of “Poppy fields”. If that isn’t a WMD , I don’t know what is.             

God damnit , do something about it.

We are in afghanistan because of the pipeline and poppy. What would big Pharma, hospitals or the cia do without it?

Where can i get some?

YOU guys are partly right, Afghnistan is far far from being the agricultural lands that most people presume agricultural lands to be. its rocky and mountainous with some areas suitable for certain fruity trees and fruits. and then there is also the land quite suitable for poppy.
Traditionally speaking the Afghans have consumed a poppy product themselves which they call “charas” which is Cannabis, to you all. the Afghans are quiet used to it, almost as the way the west is used to Alcohols.
During the Soviet-Afghan war, if we can call it that, the WEST was funding the war through drug profits. and that was when the afghans learnt of a little chemistry which they would have never really discovered themselves as they mainly used to consume “charas”, BUT all the “LABS” were operated and supplied neccesary chemicals by nonAfghans, who were a bit educated in the sciences of chemistry and marketing unlike the local afghans who were plain too simple coz they are plain uneducated, so the external help was the COCAINE IMPORT AGENCY.
Now comming to the present day MSM news of today, what I can share is that a couple of months back, it was only either the Independent or the Times online (of uk) that reported the news that the UK TROOPS had silently given a go ahead to the farmers to plant poppy and that was followed by a protest by Karzai the following day, which of course went unheard too.
AND today i see all MSM splashing a surprise over a bumper crop, i mean they initiated it, authorised it and then were even around to observe it comming up and that certainly dont need the UNO to tell what is going on.
Actually Columbia is being replaced by a new location for the same produce that brings in massive profits. PROFITS TO ANYONE I DONT MIND BUT VICTIMISING PEOPLE LIKE THAT IS CRUEL AND THEN PLAYING INNOCENT AND UNAWARE IS DEVILISH.
