Afghanistan opium harvest at record high

[ډګروال]

Yeah good idea and why don't we also make wine from all those juicy grapes. I bet it will be world number one wine -__-

you are a dumbass who missed the point.

[Khostai]

you are a dumbass who missed the point.

You are dum, thinking that afghan can make morphine when they can't even make simple vitamines or pils againt the cold, stop living in a fantasy you fool.

The Taliban are the main producers today working closely with opium warlords and even securing their actions. Stop fooling yourself. Without opium they can´t stay alive. Islamabad reduced its funds to them since 2007

Laughable to say the least. No wonder your newspaper sucks.



Here is a reference and the CV of the Canadian diplomate that wrote this:

" In Afghanistan today, the late brother of President Karzai was thought to be the largest trafficker in that country (and a CIA asset); meanwhile, our officials blame the Taliban for all drug smuggling despite the fact they are probably only responsible for something like 5% of the heroin leaving the country"

[Kushan Prince]

I thought the Taliban banned opium production? how can they be the main producers of it they are against it?

Stop blaming everything on the Talibs!

I think you didn't undertand what I said. Yes opium money can be earned really fast, but you can't claim that taliban has nothing to do with the current rise of opium, or that they do not get there money from it?

true.. but if you go with pure maths... Taliban in lower lead to lower opium production.. Northern Alliance in power led to higher opium production.. do you see the correlation..

As far as the question.. who is making money out of it.. i think everyone and their grandmothers are making money out of it... but that is besides the point.

karzai is from the south.. \and if their is opium in the south whose fault is that (central goovernemnt).. i think u are biased..

ow now you think that Karzai has power in the south? Was he not the mayor of Kabul???

[gadoonwal]

opium is a good crop.The west used it to make herouine not us.
We also grow opium in our area.So many time the FC and police try to stop it but people do it.
Opium is good source for medicins.

he is from the south.. one gets an impression from your statements that south is not represnted in the centre..

Stop denying the fact that pashtuns have not much power in Afghanistan.. and i will tell you one more thing.. Punjabies are a thousand times better than tijiks.. Punjabies come from rich agriculture back ground, (I m not saying that there are no poor in oujab).. but having plnety of resources have influenced their culture aswell. therefore, they much more generous than farban.. Farsibans come from dry areas.. they are also stingy, cheap and untrust worthy... even though i might have issues with punjabies.. i would pick punjabi over farsiwans any day..

What are you talking about? This whole tread is about opium and taliban involvment in it, what has punjabis or tajiks to do with it, you pakis are so dum no wonder India made a seperate country for you **** heads, they were just tired of your dumness.

Incorrect review of the evidence and the confounders. This is a little treat from today's NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/24/ma...ewanted=7&_r=0

"Others would maintain, however, that much of the corruption in Afghanistan can be laid directly at Karzai’s feet. The heroin industry boomed afresh under men like Sher Muhammad Akhundzada, Karzai’s chosen governor of Helmand and the country’s most infamous trafficker."

except that wine is solely consumed as an intoxicant whereas morphine is solely medical.

it wouldn't be made in afg you fool, even iran doesn't even process the oil/gas stuff the sell over seas because they don't have the infrastructure to do so. that happens later on.

that would imply that the taliban have taken over a huge amount of territory in the south compared to last year.
