'Viagra lure' for Afghan warlords

Viagra is not always known about in rural areas of Afghanistan
America's CIA has found a novel way to gain information from fickle Afghan warlords - supplying sex-enhancing drug Viagra, a US media report says.

The Washington Post said it was one of a number of enticements being used.

In one case, a 60-year-old warlord with four wives was given four pills and four days later detailed Taleban movements in return for more.

"Whatever it takes to make friends and influence people," the Post quoted one agent as saying.

"Whether it's building a school or handing out Viagra."

The newspaper said the use of Viagra had to be handled sensitively as the drug was not always known about in rural areas.

It quoted one retired agent as saying: "You didn't hand it out to younger guys, but it could be a silver bullet to make connections to the older ones."

In the case of the 60-year-old warlord - the head of a clan in southern Afghanistan who had not co-operated - operatives saw he had four younger wives.

The pills were explained and offered. Four days later the agents returned.

"He came up to us beaming," the Post quoted an agent as saying. "He said, 'You are a great man.'

"And after that we could do whatever we wanted in his area."

The pills could put chieftains "back in an authoritative position", another official said.

The paper said the CIA had a long line of inducements for the notoriously fickle warlords, including dental work, visas, toys and medicine.

It quoted one private security official as saying that simply handing over large sums of money would raise suspicions about newfound wealth.

so this is how we are fighting the war now lol,good old cia.seafire

Please don't let the liptards know how we are fighting the war on terror. They will want it stopped as incouraging drug use.

My sympathies go to the four young wives, but war is hell.

Now that brings a new meaning to "spreading a little peace, love joy and cheer, this holiday season".

I guess my only question would be why are CIA types walking around some muslim type country with viagra in their pockets in the first place??

There is an additional advantage to bribing warlords with viagra. Blackmail. If a warlord doesn't do what you tell him to do, you can always say "hmmmm, I wonder what other warlord would be interested in knowing who needs viagra?" Instant cooperation.

SUNDAY, STOP THINKING LIKE A WOMAN.

IT WOULD BE JUST AS EASY TO BUILD A WAL*MART TO KEEP ALL THE WIVES SATISFIED.

why are CIA types walking around some muslim type country with viagra in their pockets in the first place??

Cos it's easier than getting them to become Jesuits?

Flash: Having had some experience with the Jesuits they probably thought up the idea of giving out the viagra.

No self-respecting Mrs. Warlord #20 would shop at Wal-Mart!! We're, I mean, they're all uppity women who shop at Target (pronounced Tar-jhay).
