Plan Afghanistan?

Plan Afghanistan? 
Afghan government spokesman Jawed Ludin said the drug war would be the top priority of the new administration being formed by President Hamid Karzai after his election victory last month, "perhaps more important than terrorism".

I'm sorry....but when is the last time an opium poppy flew two big jets into the World Trade Center?


However, he expressed concern about recent reports that some areas of the eastern poppy growing province of Nangarhar had been subjected to aerial spraying.


"We are fully committed to the eradication of poppy fields and we will do it with much more efficacy and impact in the future," he said. "But we have made clear to our partners in the international community we don't agree with aerial spraying."

Ludin said the government had sent experts to investigate the spraying reports, given concerns about health effects and reports that children had suffered diarrhoea and skin rashes.

And as if they didn't have enough reasons to hate us already...


Faizanulhaq, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said helicopters had sprayed Achin and Khogiani districts, on Nov. 7. "People said they heard the sound of helicopters at night, but they could not tell where they came from," he said.

Ludin said the government had sent experts to investigate the spraying reports, given concerns about health effects and reports that children had suffered diarrhoea and skin rashes.

If that isn't chemical weapons of mass destruction and terrorism I don't know what is.
