Burning Through the Taliban, One Weed At A Time

Things I never expected to read on CNN.com:

"Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall."

"In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana."

"Even successful incineration had its drawbacks."

"But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action"

"Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

Maybe we should just send over the RCMP's BC drug squad to take care of business.
