#1 These guys have regular bureaucracies running their killing enterprise. Al-Qaeda are the true killing masterminds. They sign contracts, they get a healthcare plan, and pay for drinks at strip clubs on company dime. I have been suprised time and again at how civil their operation is in destroying civil society.
They are not a joke and they move around lots.

However, going against poppy farmers is not the answer now, nor end game to financing.

Terror financing is not only poppy money driven, it is conditional upon organizational structure.

Let the Afghans sort through the poppy mess, we need to be applying pressure on the business of bad guys in all conventional ways they persue their mayhem.

#2 BTW, much of that trade ends up in Iran. That government does not allow drugs to ingress in masse unless they want it to. It is as if a country is sponsoring terrorism through inaction.
