lol yeah... Years on the take and the Taliban lives in mud huts and ride 25 year old motorcycles.
btw... I don't even accept that Afghanistan has rare Earth reserves. They would have been accessed already, through cooperation between the Afghan government and US interests.
the Taliban had 98% of the poppy fields razed by 2001
they killed the farmers that did not change their crops out
And after 911 it only took 2 years for them to get back to record level crops of heroin.
They single-handedly put the CIA worldwide opium black market in dire straits.
