“The simple and terrifying reality, forbidden from discussion in America, was that despite spending $600 billion a year on the military... they were getting their asses kicked by illiterate peasants who made bombs out of manure and wood.” Michael Hastings

All the military that was in Afghanistan were moved because they might be needed soon in other areas. The tons of equipment left behind were a bribe to the Taliban so they would guard the poppy fields until the CIA can fly the harvest to wherever it is processed, probably Mexico. The harvest is usually January/February so we'll soon see if opiate users are using white powder or staying on synthetic Fentanyl. They prefer the powder. Yep, Poppy Bush and Georgie the younger got their money from family opium smugglers of old, running those Clipper Ships. It's a business that just keeps on going. Greetings Tom.
