As the Obama Administration deliberates whether or not to send more troops to Afghanistan, investigative journalist and author Gerald Posner says that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have a new weapon against the US: trying to get the army addicted to cheap heroin.


RT’s Dina Gusovsky speaks to Posner about these fascinating findings and what happens to addicted soldiers when they return home.

    [..YouTube..] what a piece of crap.
    the biggest drug dealer on the planet is the CIA. why do you think they are in Afghanistan?
    Opium, threatening Russian and Iran, and probably some pipeline crap.

  2. allmoderncons Says:

    [..YouTube..] in the late 90s the taliban nearly eliminated opium production from afghanistan and now it supplies 90% of the worlds heroin..

    going into afghanistan was all about opium and going into iraq was about oil.

    same shit different day!!

    [..YouTube..] RT, I guess it depends on what your definition of new is.

  4. aikhan1 Says:

    [..YouTube..] I absolutely agree with you…..

  5. RussianDefender100 Says:

    [..YouTube..] Why are the Yanks in Afghanistan ?
    Its about protecting the opium
    CIA is a criminal terrorist organisation like all Yanks
    almost all of those heroin is destined for Europe
    and Russia via Tajikistan route

    [..YouTube..] No wonder they want to stay there, they are all hooked on smack. Sending it back in a cake? I am sure they would be more resourceful than that. I bet it goes on all the time and the only ones who get in trouble are the ones who they want to make an example of for some other reason.

  7. wiselblower Says:

    [..YouTube..] Taliban should burn their opium crop daily just besides the Americans and Nato bases.
    Then everyone will have a big smiley all day long…….

    No more fighting.

    [..YouTube..] The war in Afghanistan is “madcap” and “futile” and serves “no conceivable national interest”, says Sir Meyer, who as Britain’s ambassador to Washington had a ringside seat on the dispatch of troops there. The fighting is “a waste of blood and treasure” because there is no coherent purpose behind it, he argues scornfully in a new book. Meyer, who was Tony Blair’s man in jew from 1997 to 2003, writes that: “After nearly eight years in Afghan . . . there is still no clarity about why we are there

  11. rabwatt321 Says:

    [..YouTube..] why the hell wou;d an american intelligence agency start a war so other epople could get drugs? the usa isnt in europe

  12. rabwatt321 Says:

    [..YouTube..] yeah because we are desperate for more heroin arent we!?

    and why the hell would they start a war for oil when they get pretty much all their oil from canada??

  13. RussianDefender100 Says:

    [..YouTube..] your a moron, heroin trade uses dollars
    the more dollar is circulated it strengthens
    a currency, same with oil, it acts as fertilisers to
    economies and using petrodollar boosts trade
    its geo-politics you dumb yank

  14. rabwatt321 Says:

    [..YouTube..] :L im not a fucking yank you soviet wank stain, and do you really think the U.S are going to start a WAR to strengthen their currency?? you really have to be fucking stupid!

  15. aSuperbadassninja Says:

    [..YouTube..] Interests in Afghanistan:Heroin production was outlawed and almost 0 before the invasion, now 90% of the worlds supply….Major pipelines proposed to be built by Iran to China to supply the Chinese with oil, similar project to pipe natural gas from Afghanistans northern neighbors to the Indian Ocean ..conclusion: war in Afghanistan is about profit for all those who dont understand why America gives a damn about this wasteland

  16. mokdadmm Says:

    [..YouTube..] People, wake up!
    Forget about the drug trafic, Afghanistan’s anticlinal mountain contain fossil fuel reservoirs.
    Taliban is just funded by the CIA to use as an excuse for america’s presence in Afghanistan as ”fighting terrorism”.

    All these news that Taliban is growing and being more dangerous is just to reinforce the minds of simple people through media that america is only there to fight terrorism.

    Think Logically People!

  17. RussianDefender100 Says:

    [..YouTube..] Ok, my mistake you are a crooked teeth english moron
    licking the assholes of the yanks

  18. rabwatt321 Says:

    [..YouTube..] haha na mate im scottish i lick no ones ass……and my country hasnt been beaten by a buch of afghan farmers yours has! :L

  19. Whatevery1Nose Says:

    [..YouTube..] pretty sure the illegal drugs are being shipped by the troops. You know, many former military become involved in organised crime through biker groups, etc. Bringing in shipments of drugs seems quite simple when you have all the resources under your control.
    Also realise, if 90% of opiates come from this country and it is used in the production of many legal painkillers, it is also obvious that the pharmaceutical companies need these supplies and that is why production is continuous.

    [..YouTube..] Mmmm…delicious cake!

  21. ManassaMaulerK01 Says:

    [..YouTube..] Some say Pat Tillman was killed for questioning the Iraq invasion, then contacting Noam Chomsky and offering an interview after his Afghan tour. Who knows, but Cpl Tillman was no friend of Rummy and Cheney. Tillman died a hero, very bravely shielding a fellow soldier from ‘friendly fire’. He was rightly awarded the Silver Star for valor. The coverup of the fratricide cause of Tillman’s death was signed off by Gen. McChrystal himself.

    Google Jon Krakauer’s accurate new book on Tillman.

  22. ManassaMaulerK01 Says:

    [..YouTube..] Who could possibly get hooked on china white in the ’60s in Saigon either you might ask? At least the nam vets got to drink alcohol under some shade trees, unlike now in the goddamn sandbox.

  23. ManassaMaulerK01 Says:

    [..YouTube..] OK but you got some ’splainin to do- WTF is a “man in jew”? Is that like those eggs the kids whack in the Running of the Jew in Kazakhstan-
    “Greatest country in the world
    all other countries
    are run by little girls!”

  24. callieland Says:

    [..YouTube..] ManessaMaulerKO1 is absolutely right. Pat Tillman was killed for daring to expose the truth of our criminal government, anyone who thinks otherwise probably also believes that 3 steel framed buildings drop neatly into their own footprint after burning for one hour. and while i’m at it, you probably think obama is a messiah who will save the counyty.

  25. callieland Says:

    [..YouTube..] btw MM, I’m enjoying my cake as well.

  26. 911truthseekers Says:

    [..YouTube..] I think this is Crack Monkey Propaganda! People need to wake up and Investigate, the Medical companies that are selling this plant as a Medicine and Expose the facts about saying on one hand its the Taliban, and on the other Hand, saying we have a war on drugs when the US is not destroying it, they are guarding it! Dude, I have not done the research yet on this one, but I will say this, from what I know, The Rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper!
