Oil? We’re Here for the Heroin! (at $19,923,200 per barrel!) http://www.truthistreason.net/oil-were-here-for-the-heroin-at-19923200-per-barrel

US and NATO forces are the world’s largest drug cartel. The push into the Helmand Province was a key element, being some of the most fertile production areas in the world. In that article, I asked why US and NATO forces have not begun destroying the opium fields, salting the region or even engineering a Monsanto-like gene to sterilize the plants. Some people say the war is justified and that we should be over there – and yet allow the drug trade to flourish. IF we are going to be there, and IF the United States truly is dedicated to it’s (lame) War on Drugs and War on Terrorism, then why are we not incinerating these fields?
