I'm reminded of the Kosovo conflict where an Apache helicopter purportedly struck power lines and came down. Interestingly, or not, when photographs were later shown, and you'd have to be blind not to notice this, there were no power lines to be seen anywhere in any direction.

NPR reported this morning that the US Invaders sent a C-130 gunship to blast the surrounding area right after the helicopter downing. If the Pentagon claims it was "mechanical" problem, why would the Occupation force send in a gunship to strafe the area? It's obvious the Pentagon is caught lying again!

Yes indeed. Isn't it curious how the "war on drugs" and the "war on terror" seem to be so intertwined.

It may be that the U.S. is not killing off the opium growers and traders as you seem to imply. The evidence is that they are receiving protection instead. Recall that poppy growing in Afghanistan had almost been eradicated when the U.S.invaded 1n 2001, but immediately after the invasion the fields were replanted and near record crops have been produced every year since.

Where ever the Empires legions/agents are afoot you can count on drugs to increase. Who would be surprised to find out that the DEA were there to check up on the production quota?

Seems a high cost to go after people making money the only way they can. It's not like they can end opium trading in Afghanistan by killing off the current growers/traders – they will simply be replaced.

thats interesting that DEA agents were counted amongst the soldiers. Was this one of those drug hit squads on that chopper, on a mission to assasinate some opium grower?

When you invade another country and kill innocent civilians living there who haven't a clue what's going on, then this will happen to you.
