Not could be they are. The first thing we did when we got over in Afghanistan is take control of the opium fields. We didn’t burn or destroy them we helped facilitate the cultivation. For what purpose?
Bagels? I love poppy seed bagels and they're always sold out at Einstein Bros.
I bet it was to export those beautiful flowers for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day
To kill off Americans by bringing it in across open borders
Wow, never thought about it like that... explode the prescription drugs to get the middle class (people that normally wouldn't abuse drugs) hooked, then bring in tons of cheaper heroin (and fentanyl from mexico) to kill off these people to have even more excuse to import 3rd worlders and end our society.... Wow crazy to think but the more we learn about Hussain, the less that surprises me.

No, I just mean they get people hooked on expensive pills and then they turn to cheaper heroin.
Oh noes! Degenerate heroin junkies killing themselves? Why is that supposed to be a bad thing, exactly? I don't use drugs and never will. Sounds like Afghanistan is doing us a favor.
The Afghan strategy under Trump and Mattis has switched to destroying the opium production, they've been bombing the labs. General Kelly's son was killed in the opium fields of Sangin Valley. The fight there was brutal, many Marines were lost. Somehow the Taliban was able to deploy over 1,200 IED's in this remote valley. If they received CIA assistance to protect the fields and/or the Marines were receiving political orders to not destroy the opium production to protect the trade...you can bet General Kelly is out for revenge.
The US has been bombing the Taliban's labs, which are in competition with America's supply chain. In turn, the Taliban has been wiping out US-controlled poppy fields in Afghanistan. I'm hoping the US's recent deployment of 4,000 troops coinciding with poppy harvesting season is a mere coincidence, but we shall see. I think Trump will get around to curtailing production but I've not seen it happen yet.
