Crackorn Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 It's true that they export a lot of opiates from Afganistan but I would say that most of the money that finances terrorism comes from oil, not drugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelB Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 international drug trade is a 700 billion dollar a year + business, and that doesnt include all the accoutrements of the industry- bribes n payoffs, modified yachts, airplanes, and trade ships, weaponry, etc- it is, i hear, controlled by some the best organized multinational trade organizations in existence- if u think about it, their incentive not to fuck up is a little greater than that of someone importing and exporting donuts or widgets.OIL, tho, i would expect is an even bigger industry... i would think bottom-feeding terrorist scum do whatever they can to support their evil, probably a cross section of all industries they can weasel their way into. and i can also say that oil barons, us kuwaiti saudi or other, are capable of being JUST as heartless as druglords- if anything, the burning of oil is worse for humanity than a well regulated drug trade.TRY getting an oil rich, republican government to admit to any of this tho and you will get a good laugh and a lot of nervous fidgeting.joel Bchange is inevitable and ever quickeningGeorge W and Old Oil Money are Cowardsquote me on both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassa Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 How IRONIC, considering that during Vietnam, Air America started out as a way for the American government to smuggle drugs from Southeast Asia to the States and Europe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYWHO, Afghanistan is just one of many countries involved in the drug trade. Granted, it's a large portion of their GNP, I agree with crackorn that most of the money that finances terrorism comes from oil.Who would believe the American gov't can see things straight. They look through the lenses they choose. They heard about the poppy seed production in Afghanistan, and immediately added that to their propaganda machine. They wouldn't dream of accusing nations that they are friendly with of drug issues. U.S. is too cunning for that. But I still love this damn country It's just the Gov't that needs a cleaning out;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribal Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 sonicf, nothing is coming from afganistan?where do you think the primary opium production is from? right across the border in peshawar pakistan, there is an opium epidemic, with thousands of addicts. there was a ny times article about a month ago on that. a lot of E does come from israel, manufactured by the israeli mafia, but the vast majority is made in europe, places like belgium and netherlands.its funny how Mr.Shrub is pointing fingers at the drug growers while supporting the n alliance, a major exporter of opium out of afghanistan. remember that movie, Full Metal Jacket? its all about the 'duality' of man.
