Afghan drug bust pisses off Karzai of the Afghans
The other day the War on Drugs finally made a big bust in the right place. But it didn't make everybody happy.
The seizure of $55.9 million worth of heroin - more than 2,000 pounds - and the discovery of four clandestine drug-producing labs in Nangarhar province of eastern Afghanistan was touted by U.S. officials as a major success and a sign of international cooperation to fight narcotics - the first time Americans and Afghans teamed up with Russians on a military operation.I am not saying that Karzai of the Afghans lost $56Million in this raid, it is more likely that he had a share with the rest spread among his fellow drug lords. But even the loss of a lesser share hurt him. Fortunately the presence of the Russian narcs gave him a reason to complain loudly about the loss. When Karzai of the Afghans complains, we should listen and remove all of our presence in his country that he may rule and deal in peace.
