Oh and now the poppy production is over 4,000 tons - and we I guess are helpless to stop it as our puppet Karzi (who was also the lead consultant for that pipeline project for Unocal in Texas and the Taliban visited Texas when shrub was Gov)whose brother is the head of the drug kingpins over there.
No wonder we can't get out - poppy prices would escalate if the Taliban started to reduce inventory when they got back in power and our oil pipeline would be in jeopardy. Our military needs to stay there to protect our private interests.
