We’ve done nothing but play political games in warfare over in Afghanistan. When you have to worry about colateral damage, political or otherwise, and forget the prospect of “unleashing hell” to complete and objective, you have already lost the war. This has been proven over and over since Korea.

Those poppy fields and their location are well known. You tell me why they are still producing?

I presume it’s because bombing the fields would send the nearby villages straight into the arms of the taliban/AQ.
