Great work Barry!
Follow the money. Who is getting the revenue from poppy sales?
The Drug War is an abject failure everywhere.
End the War on (some) Drugs. It’s an utter failure. If people are really so f***ing stupid as to use heroin, let them, with the states regulating or prohibiting it as they see fit.
And don’t give me the excuse that they don’t know what they’re getting into. After all the news stories about all the deaths and wasted lives, I don’t see wasting any more money on these FULLY INFORMED idiots. Let ‘em rot, and if they try to steal from people for their next fix, hopefully they will end up planted six feet under instead.
Hopefully, some of these idiots will see the error of their ways and get help for their addiction, which is, after all, their fault.
No more money to the boy-humping, opium-growing, Islamic Afghanis. Bring it back home where is will do more good.
PING!
And billions more at all levels of government in the USA the past few decades. But everyone is too chicken to admit and/or or too dense to recognize failure & try something different.
Why don’t we just bomb their poppys with Round-Up.
You can buy a lot of Round-Up for $8.5B.
if only everything were as easy as ‘nuke them’...
easy solutions only exist out in the stix, it seems.
The more money you make available to people for doing good, the more people will do bad in order to qualify for the money paid for doing good. The law of unintended consequences can not be repealed.
It does seem odd that, dating back to Vietnam, through Central America and now the Middle East, wherever the U.S. is involved, Drug production goes up.
Great work Barry!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My great-great grandkids will be paying for this asshole.
Yes, and the CIA has always been around and involved.
Well, the plus side is more production should lower prices?
Surely the G has stockpiles of agent orange around they havn’t used yet on unsuspecting Marines. This time make sure our people are out of the area.
Barry is indeed behind this boost in Opium. Why didn’t he use agent orange? Sprayed on the fields, end of crops, end of the drug business in Afghanistan.
Extreme? You betcha. Next stop Columbia.
U.S. taxpayers are the biggest chumps in history.
Send in Agent Orange
This is not a failed drug war story. This is a failed liberal effort to curb something that they had no intention of curbing while the money went to.....
Poison the crops and that is that.
