#1 Where do these bozos get the money for the truck, the gas, the bullets, the sandals, the rags, etc.? Is Khost in the poppy region?

#2 Sure is... But I'd guess the money's coming from JUI and JI, across the border, ultimately originating in a combination of Saudi "charitable contributions" and Pak tax rupees. I don't think they've had time to make big money off the opium yet, and they're probably still fighting over who gets it.
