We bomb your people, depose your government, set up our guy Karzai, and then we build our pipeline. What, you thought this was about Bin Laden and the Taliban? Go back to sleep.
Mr Razim said US energy company Unocal was the “lead company” among those that would build the pipeline, which would bring 30bn cubic meters of Turkmen gas to market annually.
Unocal – which led a consortium of companies from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Japan and South Korea – has maintained the project is both economically and technically feasible once Afghan stability was secured.
This article fails to mention that Karzai, the puppet leader of Afghanistan, is a former employee of Unocal. And when Unocal uses the word ‘stability’ they mean once the US has crushed all opposition to Karzai. Earlier this week, the CIA admitted to trying to assassinate one of Karzai’s rivals who supported the US against the Taliban.
