Re: At war again?
I only quoted you when I made that comment.
I am more than aware of what Zimbabwe has or has not, having spent many fruitless weeks ploughing furrows off Beira.....

states they have platinum, cotton, tobacco, gold, ferroalloys,
So why are we in Afghanistan who only have wheat, fruits, nuts; wool, mutton, sheepskins, lambskins ? OOps forgot the opium.

As for the opium, you might find this article interesting (I've deliberately used a New York Times link to avoid any suggestion of bias). http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/20/wo...aides-say.html

You didn't catch the irony in my post about the ironfist did you m8? As for why we're in Afghanistan, see if this article gives you a clue http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/2017044.stm

ten year old articles are of no use to anyone.
Victoria had a problem with Afghanistan, Rudyard Kipling wrote about it, nothing has changed except clicky-ba isnt much use against an IED even in the hands of Pvt Chung.

its normally me that does the irony, and in this instance makes no sense to me.

And the women come out to cut off what remains
Then turn to your rifle, and blow out your brains,
and go to your god like a soldier."
