SACEUR's Quotes of Note
Click to enlarge image

"The current  counter-narcotics effort (in Afghanistan) is ineffective.  The money from the narcotics trade is feeding the insurgency.  It buys weapons and pays fighters - the weapons and fighters that kill soldiers and Afghan citizens alike.  It is a cancer, fuelling the insurgency, contributing to corruption, impeding legitimate commerce, and undermining governance. Indeed NATO must step up to this task."

"I'm not talking about crop eradication but about destroying the ability by Taliban to buy materiel for IEDs, the ability by Taliban to buy the trigger."
