The Brothers Karzai: What are we really doing in Afghanistan?

Reports surfaced a couple weeks ago that the CIA is paying Ahmed Wali Karzai, Hamid Karzai's brother. So this means:

1) The CIA pays A. Karzai.
2) Karzai ALLEGEDLY uses this money in his ALLEGED role as a major player in Afghanistan's opium trade.
3) The opium trade supplies the Taliban.
4) The Taliban kills Americans.

The options are that the generals who want us to increase troops in Afghanistan didn't know that the CIA is pouring money into that country, or they did know. I don't know which would be worse.
