Tornado Alley (PROG)

Did you know that in May 2001 Pres Bush authorized $25 million to go to the Taliban to reduce the drug Afghanistan produced. You see when they took over Afghanistan produced over 3,000 tons of poppy and they got it down to about 7 tons. Quite a drop and we wanted them to continue - but in reality the $25 million was in a sense a bribe as the Taliban were going to make a decision in June on who would build a pipeline - we lost and then things got dicey. The Taliban were not our enemy but were enemies to women and anything not strict Muslim in their country. They also were a thorn in Iran and India's side as Pakistan helped prop them up and used them when needed. Why do you think Iran was helping us in afghanistan capture Al-queda (their enemies) and we could have really helped our relation with them but the incompetent one shrugged them off.
