That’s the question officials in the UK are looking into amidst reports that soldiers have been transporting the lucrative drug, Frank Lucas style, on military aircraft. It certainly makes sense if they were (and it wouldn’t be a first either). After all, how else can a country as occupied and remote as Afghanistan, still account for 90% of the entire world’s opium production?
The BBC cites a 2008 UN report that claims “98% of the country’s opium is grown in just seven provinces where there are permanent Taliban settlements” and notes how it allows “militants to purchase weapons with which they then attack the Afghan government and international forces.” So therefore British troops are collaborating with the enemy?
What the fuck? Lyndon La Rouche was right? Year-1974: Lyndon La Rouche's "Executive Intelligence Review" puts out the story that England's Queen Elizabeth II is part of an international drug smuggling cartel.Widely reviled and criticized at the time, 34 years later he might actually be proved right!
Enough of this LaRouchie bullshit. Why the hell would the Brits want to smuggle drugs? It's not like they're a poor nation.

How does any of that prove british troops are collaborating with the enemy. is the BBC not allowed to make basic observations?
