Answer 1

Opium sales do not relate to terrorism. I guess you would prefer more opportunities for Osama to be in charge and do something worse than flying planes into buildings. Do you not see who the enemy is?

Answer 2

Again - I am no Bush fan. However to equate the level of opium sales to Bush's war on terrorism is nuts!
The people of the area have been growing opium for centuries, it is a traditional crop.

For the record Pres. Bush is NOT a conservative.

to a pair quantity, sure. My husband works the Chicago Marathon each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and he commented final evening that if he'd been doing the comparable interest in Boston, he might have been good interior the location of the explosions. of direction this introduced abode the certainty of the attack in a fashion not the rest might have, and it fairly is made me worried appropriate to the opportunity of a copycat attack in October, whilst the Chicago Marathon would be run. besides, I as quickly as called Boston abode and comprehend the section the place the explosions occurred somewhat nicely.

The current Afghan government would collapse about ten seconds after we pull out. Bush says we will leave Iraq when the government is secure. So how many decades will we be in Afghanistan?

Answer 5

Opium=Healthcare. The elderly must live on gobs and gobs of painkillers.

Bushies are just trying to get another monopoly in preparation for the electric car.

Reminds me of when the Thailaxu tried to manufacture synthetic Spice...

Answer 6

And yet the US still hasn't had another terrorist attack since 2001.

The Taliban eradicated the opium trade in large part during their reign, but at what other costs? Heck there was little crime on the streets in the Soviet Union too, but you couldn't get married in a church without losing their jobs either...

Answer 7

Opium Poppy crop yields have been gowing up steadily since we invaded. Why, well, its of course because of mismanagement by Bush and co.

Why do people resort to doing this? Well, if you have no jobs for other things, you do what you can to survive. Of course, the Taliban are also benefiting from this as they harvest poppies too to fund their actions.

Answer 8

Bush probably is on opium based products. Bush snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Imagine a boxer having his opponent on the ropes about to collapse. Then, for no apparent reason, the boxer points to a guy in the stands, charges him with false allegations, and runs out into the stands and starts beating on the guy. Doing so allows his true opponent in the ring to recover. This is what Bush has done.
