Gee what is your point fubar? we should have left the tallies in power and let them help osama or what? who the hell cares? what you dont hear is that much of those poppies are used for pharmisutical morphine that is used in hospitals. let me ask would you rather have pretty flowers growing in Afganistan of terrorists. CNN the clinton news network, slanting again i'd say.

If you can't see the point by now, there is really no future in further discussion.

Screw the poppies. Get bin Laden first.
George decided that it's better copy to go for Saddam.....who they can't get either. Hope they do. It's costing us more than money.
Beats me why George and his bizarre handlers can't keep their eyes on the ball.

Bullshit of the first order. 19th Century Fox "News" wrote the book on bias reporting. Only a network that isn't "Fair and Balanced" has to say so.
Opiates are pretty damn useful. Get the bad guys first, then waste time on the poppies.
Jeesh!

In actuality, most of the world still uses opium & is needed to make Morphine, codeine, & other opiate & opioid meds. Also Naloxone which is used to counter-act an over-dose of opiates. America imports tons of the stuff...for just this use. C'mon...would you want to go through a serious operation or accident without a little morphine to ease the pain. Heroin is just a brand name (Bayer) for aceta-morphine which is used extensively for it's pain killing properties in a lot of European countries. It just so happens it's illegal in the US & that which is illegal is black-marketed to people who use.
I can't find the link but America had given the taliban big money in order to halt most of the production of poppy & what they did produce...offer to us at a "fair market price" ...for the pain-killing drugs a lot of people need.
Well along came osama..& screwed that up real good.

For some reason I dont think that is the primary motivation for poopy production in Afghanistan.

Oh, I'm sure your right...I just wanted to point out that the production of opium is legal (heavily scrutinized, but legal) for such use.
Actually I think it's India that produces most of the legal opium for the world's use.

As i thought no answer. yes there may be more poppies produced now. so what. an unintended consequence of removing a government that was supporting an organisation that killed over 3000 of the worlds citizens. i ask again would you rather have more poppies growing or more september 11ths? i realise that the Afgan will not eliminate all terrorisim but i believe it will reduce terrorism. your silence on this speaks volumes. CNN has been found to invent stories one in partickular on gun controll (semi-auto/full auto) invented and deliberately missled. same as new york times, only CNN didnt fire the staff that did the story. Fox by the way usually presents both side in a debate style format, it only seems like it is right wing because we are so used to the socialist left giving us our news. is Fox to the right of CNN absolutely. Fox is closer to the center which is the to the right of the left. Just about anything could be to the right of CNN (does that mean it isnt "fair and balanced" absolutely not).

What's is all the right vs. left, CNN vs. FOX all about. The article was published by Reuters and plainly credited in the lead in. CNN, FOX and every other news agency use
Reuters as a source because they are one of, if not the most credible newswire services on the planet. I am a dyed in the wool DEMOCRAT, however I watch FOX news all the time, not only to get a different perspective on things, the women are better looking.

I noticed that this morning. I thought either you must have posted something that you regretted and eventually removed the post or had nothing to do with it.
Since its not like you to remove a post, I was wondering how long until you came along and noticed this!
LMAO!!!

Bill O'Reilly, Shawn Hannity, Oliver North, Cal Thomas.
Lots of part-timer wackos of the Ann Coulter lunatic fringe as well. This bunch is as close to the center as Pat Roberston and Jerry Falwell.
Get Real.
It's fine being a conservative. George Will for example.
It's not okay to be nuts.

I thought you were talking to someone else at the time, all I did was pat old George on the back, your political rhetoric doe's not interest me. As for the poppy production numbers, on the surface it looks bad, in reality the Taliban after several years of bumper crops had built a huge inventory that was declining in value due to over production. The only way to raise prices was to cut production. The street price of heroin jumped worldwide as a result. This small country is a huge player in worldwide heroin supply, not just good old morphine as you implied. Whether your are right, left or somewhere in the middle this is a failure by George Bush, Jr. to finish the fucking job in Afghanistan, If he can’t handle that just how do you think the Iraqi deal will pan out.
