You try to congratulate them on their success and they want to spin even those facts. And then they offer to sell bridges they obviously don't own. Go figure.

Oh, and Tom might examine motivation of the Taliban here. Opium production was seen an anathema to Muslims in a Muslim culture, but to raise it and sell to non-belivers--and make money on it at the same time--in non-Muslim Yiddish would be a mazel-tov. And Tom, apparently you have the 2004 and 2005 figures confused. But to look at the picture, look at the increase of acreage devoted to the crop.

Bow-wow, why does a compliment raise such ire? Could it be the Bush Republicans feel they should reject the consequences of their handiwork? Are Republicans now questioning their "victory" in Afghanistan? Curiouser and curiouser.
