Opium production in Afghanistan has “grown fortyfold” in the 13 years of US Operation Enduring Freedom, according to the head of the Russian Security Council. The intervention has “exacerbated existing problems,” rather than solved them.
“Unfortunately, the failed policy of Washington did not solve, but on the contrary exacerbated, the existing problems,” Nikolai Patrushev has said while addressing the heads of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Security Council.
At the same time, the aims of introducing foreign military to Afghanistan, including the destruction of Al-Qaeda and Taliban, were not accomplished, he added.
According to Patrushev, Afghan extremists’ organizations benefit from lax law enforcement and use their positions in northern Afghanistan to enter neighboring countries in Central Asia.
He stressed that the situation in Afghanistan is one of the crucial factors in building stability in the Central Asian region.

Sadly most things the government does that is wrong is not very well hidden. Whats even more sad is that most people choose to deny the evidence when confronted with it.
A woman named Kay Griggs, the wife of Marine Corp Colonel George Griggs can help us understand.
Her information about the U.S. Government comes from her husband, her personal observations, her husband's diary, and people she met & associated with.
Openmindedly read & watch her revealing testimony regarding the black world of our US military.
Here are two theories...
1) The most powerful military in the world can't defeat peasants and plants.
2) We want the opium to sell it.
Which one seems more likely?
That is where the government gets their money for covert operations. If it's not in the budget, it didn't happen, right?
