File under: Taliban

#1 Senator McCain: you need some distancing from the current Republican administration. Without attacking, you can pose your policy viz the Pashto Opium/Heroin trade. Silence will be seen as consent to an unworkable policy. Common sense dictates that it is suicidal to allow $100 to 200 million dollars in drug money to flow to the Taliban each year. Americans are killed in the Summer Offensive because the enemy can purchase effective weaponry. That can be stopped.

#2 Fascinating. I hope this means the Afghans think they are ready to deal with this themselves.
