We once gave them stinger missiles, now we replay an even older tactic! Incidentially, the Polish news put up the story about 20 minutes ago, Drudge should have it soon...

"U.S. has a secret weapon in Afghanistan: Viagra
"By Joby Warrick | The Washington Post
"The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached in his bag for a small gift.
"Four blue pills. Viagra.
"'Take one of these. You'll love it,' the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.
"The enticement worked. The officer, who described the encounter, returned four days later to an enthusiastic reception. The grinning chief offered up a bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes -- followed by a request for more pills."
