The Taleban made an estimated $100m (£50m) in 2007 from Afghan farmers growing poppy for the opium trade. Antonio Maria Costa, head of the UN's Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), said the money was raised by a 10% tax on farmers in Taleban-controlled areas.So not only are these guys getting away with murder, they're getting filthy rich. All the while we're in Iraq doing...well...doing what, exactly?
The President of the United States is responsible for the failure to remove the governing faction of the terrorist group responsible for the attacks of 9/11, making the world - and our nation - less safe.
The Fascist-Republicans need to stop for a minute and think this through. Had "President Gore" fumbled this war so badly and so tragically, had "President Gore" taken his eye of the ball to fight a war of choice against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, they would have impeached him and shipped him to the Hague to be charged with war crimes. Moreover, they would have called the Democrats incompetent on matters of war and peace and assured their party the presidency for decades. Why aren't you holding Mr. Bush to the same standard? The only reason I can think of is that he's a fellow Republican. And that makes you a traitor as far as I'm concerned.
Political party over national security? Talk about un-American!
