KABUL, Afghanistan — Despite increased efforts to destroy fields of opium poppies and wean Afghan farmers off the country’s biggest cash crop, poppy cultivation in Afghanistan rose in 2011 and spread into areas once declared “poppy free,” according to a United Nations survey released Tuesday.
The United Nations drug control agency said that insecurity and soaring opium prices in Afghanistan — the world’s largest opium producer — were the driving factors in a 7 percent increase in the amount of land sown with poppies. It was the second year in a row of rising poppy cultivation.

The UN says Afghanistan is insecure! We've been there 10 f*ckin' years and it's STILL INSECURE!

Our Military is over there PROTECTING the poppy fields. Even that idiot Geraldo Rivera knows that and reported on it.

"Yours" is an ESTIMATION. It "estimates" a decline in poppy cultivation NEXT year due to bad weather THIS YEAR.

The decline HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET!

Poppy farmers were slammed with uncooperative weather this year, which hurt yields, said Wes Harris, the agricultural adviser for the regional command. It was the second time in the past three years that yields were hurt by weather.

The yields were hurt by weather, NOT the Military who is busy guarding those same poppy fields!

Obama has killed more US troops than Bush in Afghanistan.

Obama

Although President Obama has only served 39 months in office, 69 percent of the U.S. military fatalities in the more than 10-year-old war in Afghanistan have occurred on his watch.​

Aren't our troops people to you?

But Obama commands the weather, just as he commanded the seas to stop rising.

Poopy crop?

OMG....I can't breathe!

 

[Ariux]

Down 40% from its peak in 2008, but still way from when the US first invaded... just another benefit of spending $billions and $billions every month in Afghanistan for no reason at all.

Afgan Poopy crop down 40%

You should be happy, TM. The less poopy that is harvested means less poopy pants to use as a defense.
