Taleban profiting from Afghani poppy production

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4493596.stm

"Dealing with Afghanistan's drugs problem since the fall of the Taleban has been a big failure here - a failure that soaks into every aspect of the country's progress."

Wow, didn't we invade Afghanistan and win the war on drugs and groups of bad men? Can it be that the CIA is still profiting from drug sales as claimed by some in the US?

2. The Taliban wiped out the opium crop entirely..that Fundie zero tolerance

thing, you know. Part of the reason BushCo invaded Afghanistan was to get their opium trade up and running again. That cash crop is what keeps the Bush Crime Syndicate afloat.
