Fighting the Taliban? The objectives had nothing to do with the war on drugs. I thought it was well known that the reason there was hardly any opium farming in Afganistan before the invasion was because of the Taliban.

We can go on about how the invasion failed catastrophically but. This is just Afganistan going back to the way it was.
