Most Taliban Funding Comes from Oil Countries
not the Heroin trade. According to Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. Special Envoy to the region, most funding for the Taliban comes from the Gulf States (countries).
Heroin + Oil lead to alot of support for the Taliban.
"He didn't identify the countries where the sympathizers were donating from, but nations located on the Persian Gulf include Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq."

U.S. Addictions: Oil and Drugs and we can't select a commander and chief who will not address or deny his drug use! THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. Again, our task is daunting.

Texas has got to get over its addition to the other 49 states.
Texas doesn't like you, but no doubt it will take any health care money you "force" on it.
Texas has 6 Billion uninsured, yet a healthcare complex in Houston dubbed as larger than than the Chicago Beltway. They also heavily advertise for help outside the state and the country. (Bring your college education with you, please)
""It boasts the immense medical center that offers top-notch care at its 13 hospitals, but also has a higher ratio of uninsured patients than any major U.S. city: about 30 percent. Cancer patients can get advanced radiation treatment, yet others need an emergency room just to fill a prescription.""

They should be they turned him in and he was bombed on the way to a health clinic.
Mehsud was locally active with some ties to Afghanistan. The U.S. is doing their dirty work apparently. Bin Laden (and "others")still run free!
The Taliban increase oil prices and keep the aid funds coming into
Pakistan.

"The U.S. military does not conduct operations against narcotics dealers who are not involved in the insurgency, because those individuals are dealt with by law enforcement agencies, according to Capt. Elizabeth Mathias, a U.S. military spokeswoman.
"It's terrorists with links to the drug trade rather than drug traffickers with links to terrorism," said Lt. Col. Todd Vician, another U.S. military spokesman."
