Insurgent snipers hiding in haystacks in poppy fields have exchanged fire with Marines and Afghan troops in recent days as they swept south.
At first I wondered what our lib’s reaction would be if the stacks “accidentally” caught fire from a tracer or incendiary round. Then I realized the terrorist would simply leave his weapon in the burning stack, crawl out and claim to be an innocent civilian - after all, he’s no longer holding a weapon. We’d be committed to treating his burns and turning him lose with a sincere apology.
Wait a minute. If that “hayfield” belongs to some opium cartel, that means very deep pockets. Our class action lawyers will be smelling that smoke from the burning poppy fields all the way from New York.
