Description

The Obama admin. is crafting a new strategy in Afghanistan, and we are seeing the first effects of the increases in military and civilian resources. One of the emerging changes is on counter-narcotics policy. In the past, our emphasis was on eradication. Today, we are focused for the first time on breaking the link between the narcotics trade and the Taliban and other militant groups. The admin. and our military commanders have made targeting major drug traffickers who help finance the Taliban a priority for U.S. troops. This report represents the findings of research conducted by the comm. staff in Afghanistan, the U.A.E. and the U.S. It describes the implementation of the new counter-narcotics strategy and offers recommendations.
