According to some whistle blower accounts, it is the CIA which is up to its neck in helping the TTP with finances and weapons. Now where are they getting those millions of dollars from? The Afghan drug trade, which they are deeply involved in! This came to light when an unmarked plane belonging to the CIA carrying 4 tons of opium from Afghanistan crashed in South America scattering black kit bags full of the stuff for hundreds of meters around.
That's where much of the funds for the CIA come from to finance their top secret black ops projects as well as to mess around with those color revolutions - from the Central Asian Republics to the Middle East (Libya, Egypt, Syria, Turkey etc). And needless to say, all this skullduggery is beyond US Congressional oversight as these funds from the drug trade are 'unaccounted assets'.
Have you ever wondered how and why there's a thriving drug industry in Afghanistan, operating with impunity under the very noses of the U.S.? Now you know why they haven't destroyed the hundreds of acres of poppy crops. The 'livelihood of farmers' argument is just an excuse to keep the industry going.
The purpose is to keep the PA engaged and off balance so that it does not do anything that may pose a threat to their interests in Afghanistan. They have piggy-backed on the TTP which has its own agenda of enforcing Shari'ah in Pakistan, unite against NATO forces in Afghanistan and perform "defensive jehad" against the Pakistan Army. The TTP needed funds and weapons. The CIA obliged. The rest is history.
