After 12 Yrs of U.S. Occupation, Afghanistan Sets Record for Growing Opium

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/ali-meyer/after-12-yrs-us-occupation-afghanistan-sets-record-growing-opium

(CNSNews.com) - After 12 years of occupation by U.S. military forces, Afghanistan set a record for growing opium poppies in 2013, according to newly released data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

“Opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan reached a sobering record high in 2013,” said the UNODC. “According to the 2013 Afghanistan Opium Survey, cultivation amounted to some 209,000 hectares, outstripping the earlier record in 2007 of 193,000 hectares, and representing a 36 per cent increase over 2012.”

In fact, according to the latest worldwide data on opium-poppy cultivation, Afghanistan dedicates more land to the cultivation of opium poppies than all of the rest of the world combined.

Of course, the Faux News clip is spun with bullshit.

The Taliban was opposed to opium growing and wiped it out.

In July 2000, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, collaborating with the United Nations to eradicate heroin production in Afghanistan, declared that growing poppies was un-Islamic, resulting in one of the world's most successful anti-drug campaigns. The Taliban enforced a ban on poppy farming via threats, forced eradication, and public punishment of transgressors. The result was a 99% reduction in the area of opium poppy farming in Taliban-controlled areas, roughly three quarters of the world's supply of heroin at the time.[14]

The Taliban stop buses and cut off the noses of passengers without the Koran-required beards.

They bomb schools that teach female children.

They're not nice people, so let's try not to make them other than animals.

(Apologies to animals).

Just because Obama pronounces them Talley-bahn, ("count me banana, Mr. Talley-mahn"—Belafonte), doesn't make them "nice".

Of course they are not.

That's why we propped them up and put them in power in the first place.

They became persona non grata after they went off the reservation and stopped Opium production.
