Afghanistan Continues To Produce Tons Of Heroin

It's a good thing that we sent our troops to fight an unrelated war in Iraq when we still had so much to do in Afghanistan.

(AP/Yahoo)While tens of thousands of Pakistani troops are deployed against al-Qaida-linked militants and rebellious tribesmen, the Anti-Narcotics Force has just 300 personnel in southwestern Baluchistan province, a barren region the size of Germany. Much of Afghanistan's heroin is spirited out in nighttime caravans of SUVs through this desert, headed south for Pakistan's Arabian Sea coast or west into Iran, toward Turkey and Europe.

They mean the Taliban and Al Qaida. You know, the people who attacked us on 9/11!
