Well I suspect that Bush will claim we are winning the war in Afghanistan, but what he won't say is that we have lost the war on drugs. This year's opium poppy harvest will be a bumper crop. In fact the crop has increased 15% since 2006. Now that's progress!
Afghanistan now sits as the world's leading producer of the key ingredient in heroin, so much so that they produce 95% of the world's crop. Thanks puppet government of Afghanistan! Your refusal to take anti-poppy measures has really been a boon for organized crime everywhere, and now seems like the Taliban are getting involved.
I guess the private sector is triumphant again, after all the crop is worth around $38 billion once converted to street drugs. Talk about a profit margin!
