Obama's agenda; Narco-Nation Building
Hey, guys, don’t pick the poppies.
That’s the order from the Obama Administration to the 4,000 Marines presently engaged in Operation Khanjar or “Strike of the Sword,” an invasion of the Taliban infested Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan.
The Marines of Bravo’s Company 1st Platoon sleep beside groves of poppies Troops of the 2nd Platoon walk through the fields on strict orders not to swat the heavy opium bulbs. The Afghan farmers and laborers, who are engaged in scraping the resin from the bulbs, smile and wave at the passing soldiers.
The Helmand province is the world's largest cultivator of opium poppies - the crop used to make heroin.

Strange site.....strange days
Wikipedia is now a legitimate news source? Why don’t you look at what they have to say about Free Republic?
Do you understand Google or Scroogle? It’s really quite easy to confirm stories with Al Gore’s Information Super-Highway.
Yes I did. The article was unavailable for about 10 minutes, probably for a rewrite.
This is b.s.
I didn’t say it was a ‘news’ source, just a link. It is open source, so it could be wrong. Just as anything.
I think I've heard of Google. Don't they do maps or something?
Yes....they do maps.
As long as drug companies still produce, and doctors and hospitals still use morphine, there is a legitimate market for opium poppies, and a lot of it comes from this region of thw world.
We should spray the crops and let the Taliban starve...or we should just leave that region to the goats.
And Do Not Import and Afghans into the USA!
And Do Not Import and Afghans into the USA!
Got any idea what it would cost to de-foliate an entire country?
Screw em’ leave the region....just don;t bring them here.
(And of course that is exactly what they’ll do....bring them all over here, settle them in Iowa or Nashville.,)
Yeah, because shredding the only cash crop in the country will go a long way in helping to get keep the locals on our side. Geezus.
As far as I know this has been a standing order way before Obama.
You are a real genius, aren’t you?
We don’t need the locals not there and certainly not here. What makes you think that we need primitive Afghanis for anything? They can disappear and it won’t make any difference to the USA
If they bring any of them to Missouri, the should drop them off in Skidmore.
They can drop them off on main street in Archie MO.
See how long they last.
