Breaking on Rachel -Oops the brother of the Karzai has been on the CIAs
payroll for eight years. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah this is the heroin king.

Bravo Bushco.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/world/asia/28intel.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
<snip>
Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president and a suspected player in the country’s booming illegal opium trade, gets regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency, and has for much of the past eight years, according to current and former American officials.

The agency pays Mr. Karzai for a variety of services, including helping to recruit an Afghan paramilitary force that operates at the C.I.A.’s direction in and around the southern city of Kandahar, Mr. Karzai’s home.

The financial ties and close working relationship between the intelligence agency and Mr. Karzai raise significant questions about America’s war strategy, which is currently under review at the White House.

Where there is Bush, look for the drugs.

8. Vietnam, Iran-Contra
Colombia, etc., etc. No surprise here.
I only want to know who among the Bushco goons made the real money here.
It is not accident that heroin flourished while Afghanistan and Bin laden were ignored under Bushco.

10. "heroin flourished while Afghanistan and Bin laden were ignored under Bushco"
EXACTLY and we thought the big bucks were in the defense industry. Money laundering of drug $ is where they reaped the largest profits.
