Why not post up something that shows my statements to be false instead of smugly assuming.

I mean, you are wrong and we are pretty much supporting the entire economy of both countries. Afghanistan's #1 cash crop is Opium, btw.

I am not sure how you can accuse me of being wrong. I asked you to provide proof of American tax dollars paying for the healthcare of Iraqi/Afghan people. You admitted you embellished your facts.

As for opium, it is 35% of the GDP of Afghanistan, which is a tremendous portion. I don't believe I ever attempted to say otherwise. Oil is a form of income for the country. Along with natural gas, precious and semi precious stones, wool, cotton and other items.

The country of Afghanistan is far from dependant on US dollars. To date, only around 4-5 billion dollars have been given to the Afghan people. Far less than promised. 2008 GDP for Afghanistan was approximately 12.8 billion.

here is a helpful link to support some of the information I have provided:

I can summarize Iraq too, if you'd like. :9:
