Ex U.S. official: Afghan leader shields drug trade
Posted 24 July 2008
"Karzai was playing us like a fiddle," Schweich wrote. "The U.S. and its allies would fight the Taliban; Karzai's friends could get rich off the drug trade; he could blame the West for his problems; and in 2009 he would be elected to a new term." Poppy eradication this year will be less than a third of the 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) that Afghanistan eradicated in 2007, he said.
