U.S. may send 7,000 more troops to Afghanistan to protect a bumper
heroin crop.
Business is business and the U.S. banks and Wall Street depend on the
success of the Afghan opium/heroin crop.

Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand. Afghanistan had been the world's
largest producer of opium/heroin, claiming close to 70% of the world's
total production. The amount of drug cash flowing into Wall Street and
U.S. banks was estimated to be around $250-$300 billion a year. The
history of the drug trade in Central Asia is intimately related to the
CIA's covert operations. The U.S., directly or indirectly, helped to
fund the WTC attacks. George Bush, Sr. was in charge of all U.S.
intelligence and narcotics operations from 1981 through 1989. It was
Bush (the elder) who directly nourished and nurtured bin Laden's
evolution.

With The Destruction of Its Opium Crop
FTW - Money connections between Bush Republicans and Osama bin Laden
go way back and the political and economic connections have remained
unbroken for 20 years. And what appears to be a "new" alliance with
Pakistan is merely a new manifestation of a decades-long partner****p
in the heroin trade.
Conveniently ignored in all of the press coverage since the tragic
events of Sept. 11 is the fact that on May 17 Secretary of State Colin
Powell announced a gift of $43 million to the Taliban as a pur****ted
reward for its eradication of Afghanistan's opium crop. That, in
effect, made the U.S. the Taliban's largest financial benefactor
according to syndicated columnist Robert Scheer writing in The Los
Angeles Times. But -- as we described in FTW's March 2001 issue -- the
Taliban's destruction of that crop was apparently the single most
im****tant act of economic warfare against U.S. economic interests that
the Taliban had ever committed. So why the gift?
Drugs and terrorism go hand in hand and the opium/heroin production is
again a hugh success.
Afghanistan had been the world's largest producer of opium/heroin,
claiming close to 70% of the world's total production. That opium,
consumed largely in Western Europe and smuggled through the Balkans,
was a direct source of cash deposits in Western financial institutions
and markets
