#1 The Taliban have always been an arm of the criminal enterprises that exist in AF. Once we leave, a LOT of contract money and easy to steal loot dries up.

We paid the Taliban for the privilege of fighting them...and they fought us back in some cases to make sure they created the demand...

#4 ...first oil and now opium? Maybe they need a real cartel like OPEC to set artificial production limits that no one pays any attention to.
