"Attacks on family members will not be tolerated and will be subject to action by an Admin/Mod. Action taken could range from a warning to banning and will be at Admin/Mod discretion. The only exception to this is IF a member brings his/her family member(s) into the conversation first."


I did not attack your family member CG

Fuck you, truthmatters.

In 2000 the Taliban banned opium production, a first in Afghan history. That year Afghanistan's opium production still accounted for 75% of the world's supply. On July 27, 2000, the Taliban again issued a decree banning cultivation. By February 2001, production had been reduced from 12,600 acres (51 km2) to only 17 acres (7 ha). When the Taliban entered North Waziristan in 2003 they immediately banned cultivation and punished those who sold it.

The Taliban's top drug official in Nangarhar, Mullah Amir Mohammed Haqqani, said the ban would remain regardless of whether the Taliban received aid or international recognition. "It is our decree that there will be no poppy cultivation. It is banned forever in this country," he said. "Whether we get assistance or not, poppy growing will never be allowed again in our country."

However, with the 2001 expulsion of the Taliban, opium cultivation returned, and by 2005 Afghanistan provided 87% of the world supply,[121] rising to 90% in 2006.

No, hon. I dislike you. You are a moron. You are a simpleton. And you are incapable of any semblance of critical thinking.... but, unlike you and your 'hate', I choose not to hate you. I pity you.

Taliban facing 'financial crisis', general claims - Telegraph

With drug labs and supply routes under growing pressure, the insurgents have less than half the cash they had a year ago, said Major General Richard Mills, who leads coalition troops in Helmand province, the key poppy-growing region for the Taliban.

"We have intelligence that indicates to us he has a financial crisis on his hands, he has a cash flow problem," Maj Gen Mills said of the Taliban.

He said coalition and local forces were making steady progress in Marjah and across Helmand province, and that the Afghan army and police soon could be ready to take over security duties in some districts.
"I do believe in the coming months ahead there will be areas in which we can turn over a significant portion of the security to them for their execution," Mills said.

This is certainly good news to see.

A General says they are strapped for cash and people simply swallow it? Does anyone ever think or review before responding or is there such a desperate search for justification of occupation people jump at any pinata?

Isn't it an amazing cycle? We send troops there to die while protecting the production and exportation of illegal drugs that make their way to the US where more Americans die.

Interesting, I thought mentioning family members was against the T&Cs of the forum.

Stop whining every single time you get your dumb ass shut down. The rules only say no "attacks" on family members. So, if someone were to say your parents must have been Jesus-walking-on-water Saints to have the patience to put up with a whiner like you, that would not be attacking family.

It's sad how you look so damn hard to stretch the rules for your personal agenda and it's even funnier that even with all your ass kissing it still doesn't work. You happily ignore the rules when it suits but suddenly become RuleAbidingHaloGirl when you think you see someone you don't like breaking the rules. Grow up.

Think what is bothersome about the OP story is how similar claims creep out from time to time. The overarching problem is reconciling the ability to get such intimate information yet not having enough to generally shut them down. It looks like they toss this stuff out purely to feed the dwindling support of the occupations.

Islamos are occupying Afghanistan and Iraq, once, Buddhist and Christian countries.

Destroy the Muhammadan barbarians.

mullahs have rushed approval of a stimulus bill but conservative imams have blocked its passage in the upper mosque.

Isn't this what the left would call a great opportunity to 'win hearts and minds'? When's Obama gonna send them some stimulus money.... After all, y'all gave BP $300m in stimulus funding.

So do you have anything actually useful to contribute? Just wondering.

no, dumbass, I meant his creating of an army to silently wage war in pakistan, his use of drones in pakistan, his threatening of the isi, his willingness to expose karzai if he didn't oust certain taliban members and so on.

bush on the other hand didn't want to upset his isi friends so he let the taliban & al qaeda run rampant in the tribal areas and obama and had to come through and clean up his mess
