Ten foot tall and bullet proof

It's not enough that all the troops over in Iraq have enough problems with car bombs and everything else. Now they have come across a now bigger foe to battle too and your not going to believe this one. Canadian troops fighting Taliban in Afghanistan have come across a unexpected and potent enemy - an impenetrable forest of ten foot tall marijuana plants. The Talibans are using this forest of marijuana for cover. The problem is that the plants absorb energy so their thermal devices are of no use to see where the Taliban are hiding. So the troops can't just go through the forest of marijuana because they don't know if the Taliban are in there waiting to ambush. The troops tried burning the plants with white phosphorous that didn't work, they tried burning with diesel that didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now they wont burn. Even when they were successful in burning some of the outer plants that were starting to brown it had certain effects on the troops downwind. So they decided this was the wrong course of action to take. One soldier even commented "sir three years ago when I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'." Best of luck to all the troops on fighting this new foe. Good luck to all our troops fighting this insane war. I still believe we should be after Bin Laden the man who disgraced our country.
