Taleban hiding from Canadians in Marijuana Plantations.

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Sunday October 15, 2006 23:11author by o as if Report this post to the editors

"behold the craftiness of the evil-doer."

Apparantly ten foot high cannabis plants planted close to together for strictly medicinal export purposes are
difficult to burn.

Not even White phosophorus (the soldier's friend) will clear a field of grass. This is bad news for Canadian troops attached to NATO in Afghanistan as they must resort to burning the areas with diesel. A very smelly & nauseating noxioum ambience resulting.

This is exactly what the Taleban fellow wants of course. These plucky insurgent manaics lurk in the vegetation taking advantage of its heat's keeping properties to foil the infra-red & motion detectors of the Allied army.

& then they pounce.

stirring stuff.

Oh yep & a carnivorous plant ate a mouse in Lyons France.

doesnt really make much MORE of a difference,
the Afghans are used to terrible air quality in the cities because they use diesel for EVERYTHING there.

KABUL, Afghanistan, Oct. 15 — Two Canadian soldiers in the NATO force were killed and three were wounded in an ambush in southern Afghanistan on Saturday afternoon, and an Afghan provincial council member was assassinated Sunday on his way to work, officials said.

The Canadians were killed when their convoy came under fire by rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire in Kandahar Province, forcing their unit to call in airstrikes, according to a NATO news release. Thirty-four Canadian soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan this year, and 42 since November 2001.

I am of course referring to the carnivorous plant which ate a mouse in Lyons (France). Is it too much wonder that someday the US will genetically modify the small range of carnivirous plants provided us by Mother Nature in all her quirks (& possibly divine delusion) to attack humans in the battle field?

if you go to the link I left in the original article you will be able to watch a video! & the good news is that that video is not part of the "you Tube" network or even the rumoured video download imperialistic ambitions of "Yahoo".

Others amongst the readership will just want the facts.
for we have to realise that the order of vegetatious organisms previously referred to by different & often mutually hostile traditions or biologists as insectivorous plants have now demonstrated mamiferous munching potential . But...... they only do it once. Strangely enough no plant has yet evolved that ate flesh of either bug or rodent kind twice. It's a once off phenomona, & one which doesn't even provide energy only nutrients. This of course means we don't need to measure the calorific value of either the mouse eaten or common or garden housefly.

here endeth the lesson.

The UNICAL pipline from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean is looking less likely now as the plan to control Afghanistan is falling apart with the reat of the Bush Plan. British have run from their base in Helman and the Canadians who were supposed to be looking for Taliban are really to busy burying their dead here are some of them....
