POPPY PROFITS FUND TALIBAN

NASH BASH  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

About 90% of Afghanistan’s wealth is generated by poppy/heroin sales.

The profits are used to fund the Taliban.

The Taliban kill US troops.

Destroying the fields could cripple terrorist activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Are US troops destroying the poppy fields?

The poppies fuel the great jihad against the United States and the Western world. More than 3,500 tons of raw opium is created by the poppy crops every year; the annual revenues for the Taliban and al Qaida range from $5 billion to $16 billion.

Richard Holbrooke, the Obama Administration’s top envoy in Afghanistan, says that poppy eradication - for years a cornerstone of U.S. and U.N. anti-drug efforts in the country – has only resulted in driving Afghan farmers into the hands of the Taliban.

The new approach, Holbrooke maintains, will try to wean the farmers of the lucrative cash crop by giving them help to grow other produce, like wheat, corn and pomegranates.
