Poor Iraqi security helps drug smugglers – 22 Dec 08
December 10th, 2008 | by security |AlJazeeraEnglish asked:
Drugs are being smuggled from Afghanistan and Iran to Amara in Iraq. The lack of security along Iraq’s borders is making the trade more feasible. Al Jazeera’s Mosab Jasim reports.

Who gives a DAMN about drug smuggling in Iraq!!! As if some contraband can be as dangerous as an illegal war that killed over 152,000 including over 35,000 children. Do you think the insidious drugs like heroin or hash could cause that much damage? After what these people have been through, let them have their opiates and hash. This is CNN/BBC/CIA mindfuck bullshit that has no real substance on our lives or the Iraqis for that matter.

I know Afgan farmers that told me, when Taliban first came to power they got rid of Alcohol and farming of drugs. Only the Northern Alliance used the drug farming to fund their weapons. U.N. is a failed system man, its the same as the one set up after WWI. They’re doing that because their religion bans people from using narcotics, or even producing it. Im sick of these dumb youtube comments

I support the drug smugglers. Thank you for risking your life to bring us quality narcotics. You have the courage of a lion. Those who oppose you (mostly politicians) are sheep hiding behind the laws they create.

Taliban suspended heroin production to appease the U.N. Meanwhile they stockpiled tons of it. The price of heroin skyrocketed and Taliban was able to get 10X the price for their drugs. Taliban are shrewd businessmen.

New Amendment to the constitution: If the evidence/premise present by the president to the congress for a war turns out to be false/incomplete, the president must resign; he may legally fight back, but if guilty, he must be then impeached.

this is yet another reason why the US should have focused on Afghanistan and not interfere with Iraq

Taliban stopped the production of drugs in Afghanistan. Iraq stopped smuggling drugs into Europe and the Arabian gulf. It looks to me that US invasions helps drug smugglers, smells like Vietnam all over.

Thanks to our king pin drug dealer George W. Bush. This goverment does not want to help the Iraq people or after 5 years something would have changed for this country. These suit thugs want as much chaos to keep you busy worried about other things then what our goverment is doing behind our back. Blood filled streets in our name. These idiots are the terrorist to all of mankind.
