The German government has approved an extension of Bundeswehr personnel deployments to Afghanistan past the 2014 ‘pullout’ date.

The U.S. Department of Defense revealed that more than $2-billion USD in taxpayer money has been spent supposedly fighting the record levels of opium production, since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. The record level of U.S. citizens now addicted to heroin proves the $2-billion counternarcotics ops in Afghanistan is a big ass fail! However, the Defense Department’s principal director for counternarcotics and global threats, Erin M. Logan, told Congress otherwise: “We believe that $2 billion has been well spent in developing specialized units and capabilities that have begun to achieve concrete results.”
Logan also revealed, using Orwellian double speak, that the U.S. government will increase its opium drug running ops: “DOD plans to continue its successful and effective partnership with the interagency and international partners to disrupt the sources of revenue for terrorists and insurgents, and reduce the corrosive, corruptive, and destabilizing impact of illicit narcotics.”

A federal court in the U.S. has sent 12 U.S. citizens to prison (for 15 days) and fined them $250 each for protesting UAV (drone) strikes. The Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars had demonstrated on the Hancock Air National Guard Base, in New York, back in 2012.
