On Afghanistan

A comment by Big W on Afghanistan on CBC website :

By all the thumbs-downs to intelligent comments it seems people are not willing to accept the drug reality, the pipeline reality or the reality that we’re no longer there because of 9/11 or people’s or women’s rights or stability.

DRUGS
When a Canadian officer says that we’ll be eliminating poppy fields, he is ordered by our government to retract his statement. Afghanistan is now the world’s number one narco-state – You think that can happen without military complicity? And how profitable are illegal drugs?

PIPELINE
The Taliban were visiting Texas before 9/11 for the specific purpose of a pipeline from the Caspian Basin. Humanity is scrounging every drop of energy from the Earth. It's amazing that Rght Wing enery whores are the people saying we won't be taking that energy.

9/11
Less than a year after 9/11 Pres. Bush said they were no longer looking for Osama bin Ladin. Is he invisible? Capable of inter-dimensional jumping? How is this man so elusive? Answer - no one is looking for him.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS
Passage of Wife Rape Law, ‘nuff said.

PEOPLE’S RIGHTS
No one gives a sh#t about people being slaughtered in other countries. What makes this 85% illiterate, misogynistic society so special? (2,000 Uzkeks were slaughtered last week – anyone care?)

STABILITY
Afghan police are given 5 days training, if they can read, or 1 day if they are illiterate (85% are illiterate). Your Subway Sandwich Artist has more training.


Only one truth remains..
It’s all BS. All of it.


(I really need to cheer up)
