It says the value of it is off 40% to $438 million this year.<br /><br />It also says 1.6 million farmers are involved in growing it. My calculator is showing that comes out to just under $274 dollars per farmer this year.<br /><br />It says the Taliban impose a tax on it in exchange for safe passage of the crop. It doesn't say what percent, but lets call it 1/3. That would be $145 million dollars.<br /><br />The Taliban also get roughly $1 million each month from Pakistan, and some unknown (to me) amount from other various crimes, or legit means.<br /><br />Let's say they get $500 million and apply it all to fighting NATO troops. It's probably very optimistic, but I want to try and make us look as good and smart as I can.<br /><br />The cost of the war to the US taxpayer is, say, $100 billion for the year.<br /><br />This means the US is getting much better at fighting these wars in terms of efficiency.<br /><br />When we were fighting at a standstill in Anbar providence, the US was outspending the 'enemy' 1000:1. Now we are down to 200:1<br /><br />If we only wanted to spend 10 times the amount of the Taliban to fight them, the war would only cost $5 billion.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be cheaper to just pay them to stop fighting? It worked in Iraq. Is it possible they forgot that?<br /><br />Is there any possible explaination other than a deliberate ripoff? It simply is not possible to be so stupid - they would have died a long time ago just crossing the street, or using a power tool. There is no way the outward display of being hopelessly moronic, no matter how convincing, can be real in the presents of so many weapons.<br /><br />I'm looking for that whistleblower hotline. I'm going to make me some money. Obama is going to be furious when he finds out what is going on. I'm going all the way and telling him that it wasn't even the Taliban that attacked us, and that the real Al Qaida could possibly be doing anything it wants because nobody is checking up on them.<br /><br />I also thing a formal complain should be lodged against Afghanistan for not telling us Al Qaida left the country. They might think it's funny, but everything is funny until someone loses an eye.K Ackermannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-11185552713490458772009-09-03T09:28:10.392-05:002009-09-03T09:28:10.392-05:00The BP oil find is even deeper than the oil off th...The BP oil find is even deeper than the oil off the coast of Brazil. So we will have at least some supplies when oil goes to $300 a barrel just before the Aztec asteroid hits in 2012.<br /><br />They sure are making a fuss about this mild flu, what with all the forced vaccinations, and secure detention camps. I think there is something they are trying to hush up. It must make people smarter if they survive.<br /><br />So we have the 12 monkeys flu, global climate fritz, economo-terrioristic meltdown, the new serfdom, and political normalism.<br /><br />I'm headed to the closest catty-lick church and preying on some teenagers for a good flocking!!<br /><br />TTTulsaTimenoreply@blogger.com
