| Taliban earn $4.8 million annually from Kajaki Dam |

| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Talibs group earn around $4.8 million annually from Kajaki dam located in the restive southern Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province of Afghanistan. The provincial council officials have said the group earns almost 90 per cent of the income of the dam on yearly basis. Majid Akhunda, deputy provincial council chief, told RFE/RL that the group has formed a special unit to collect the income generated from the dam. He said the 90 per cent income of the dam is almost equal to 500 million Pak Rupees which is equivalent to $4.77 million. 'Restive Helmond province' indeed. I always wondered why the Taliban never blew it up. I'd would hate to have to calculate the American and coalition lives lost in 'restive Helmond' over the years. I suppose no one ever thought to... follow the foking money ? |

| #3 Problem with following the money is that the follower might not like the path. Posted by Pappy Spot on! The corrupt regimes of Africa are not kept in power by their huge Toyota and Microsoft manufacturing facilities, it's their natural resources. Always has been. If the spoor leads back to Kabul, our man in power might be at risk. |

| #1 I suppose no one ever thought to... follow the foking money ? The US hasn't been in the business of "Winning" for a very long time. The pussification of this nation began a very long time before Obama took office. |
