RE: funds transferred to the Taliban to "fight drugs" ineffectively - amounted to $45 million just four months ago, no doubt helping to support the assassination of over 6,000 of our civilians and shorting the stock market We help too many crackpot dictatorship governments, we need to help only our real friends. I hope the war on terrorism is a lot more effective than the war on drugs, which was a big joke, IMHO. It's sickening when you think of all the money we've paid to our government to protect us and see this happen. As a nation, the US became soft and complacent and we got sucker punched, simple as that. We need to reorganize our priorities and get back to basics. We really don't need all the BS consumer items and 200 TV channels that we have grown to depend on. FIRST PRIORITY MUST BE DEFENSE AND ATTACK CAPABILITIES!
