It cost the US a million dollars a year for each soldier in the oil wars. It costs the Taliban less than $4,000 a year per soldier.

@lesdoyle2000 I see 95% of the human race as a horde of very tall children under six. With the world population rotting this orange, we are at the mercy of the ultra rich inbred imbeciles. They have the money to destroy us all.....and they are doing it. They do it out of boredom. For years I fought them. The support isn't there so I sit back and watch them win. Humanity sits on their hands and will get exactly what they deserve.

Your right.
1982 CIA begin recruiting arabs to fight in Afghanistan financed by manufacturing and selling heroin.
1982 Feb 11 CIA Is Given Green Light to Take Part in Illegal Drug Trade in Afghanistan. CIA Director William Casey gets a legal exemption sparing the CIA for a requirement that they report on drug smuggling by CIA officers, agents, or assets. Attorney General William French Smith grants the exemption in a secret memorandum Feb 11.

Clearly the Taliban promotes the interests of Pakistan. Even the majority of their support and aid comes from Pakistan. Pakistan must be dismantled. It is the root cause of most regional problems.
This Pakistani expert supports negotiating with the Taliban yet insists that Pakistanis do not embrace such parties. Odd given that such parties originate in Pakistan are schooled sponsored and representative of Pakistanis.

I doubt you live in either of these places as you demand sharia on behalf of others.

Yes, "involvement of the Taliban [in the] drug trade", as I've said - taxation and security for routes. But not "drug running" itself.
The Taliban are not the "big players" in the Afghan opium trade. They profit from it, but the UNODC estimate is $100-250,000. But total exports last year were $4 billion. And that's just getting out of Afghanistan. Profits increase exponentially beyond that, from Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey into Europe. The Taliban does not control that trade.

There is well documented involvement of the Taliban drug trade by several World Governments, as well as by the UN. 100 OF Thousands of Reporters from around the Globe have documented the Taliban Trafficking in Afghan Opium
The Leaders inside the Taliban are not getting there RPG's and Ammo from the profit of wool rugs or Koran book sales...A given is that Arms Dealers are the "Big Players" however, ... One who visited Kabul could see the luxurious palaces built by commanders from drug money.

There isn't any real indication "the Taliban" is involved in drug running, per se. They obtain taxes from farmers on areas they control on agricultural crops, including poppy cultivation. And they provide security in areas under their control for those actually doing the drug running to traffic. But "the Taliban" isn't the big player in the opium trade. So the question remains: Who is?

Evidently, waging war is ALWAYS the "answer"....especially for investors. (NOT so good tax payers, for soldiers or civilians!)
I would like to suggest that we try diplomacy, peace talks, empathy, justice and a healthy dose of honesty.
(Am I pipe dreamimg or WHAT!?)

What a waste of time to consider fixing that shit hole country.
Who gives a shit?We don't , if we did don't you think we would have done it right the 1st time?
Opium export has skyrocketed since coalition occupation, this is no coincidence!
Now you see the way American policy works?
Unocal projected vast oil, natural gas deposits in Caspian sea and guess what? when they got there after 20+years of trying there was not nearly as much as they thought. (America) don't give a shit about the place!
