It’s still about the oil, but I guess that doesn’t matter does it? Civilian casualties do not matter. Shredding the constitution does not matter. The fact that this is nothing but a war to promote the interests of the American establishment and the goal of American corporate-military global hegemony.
Bush Names Oil Firm Advisor as Afghan Envoy:
- As an adviser for Unocal, Khalilzad drew up a risk analysis of a proposed gas pipeline from the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan across Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Indian Ocean. He participated in talks between the oil company and Taliban officials in 1997, which were aimed at implementing a 1995 agreement to build the pipeline across western Afghanistan.
Unocal was the lead company in the formation of the Centgas consortium, whose purpose was to bring to market natural gas from the Dauletabad Field in southeastern Turkmenistan, one of the world’s largest. The $2 billion project involved a 48-inch diameter pipeline from the Afghanistan-Turkmenistan border, passing near the cities of Herat and Kandahar, crossing into Pakistan near Quetta and linking with existing pipelines at Multan. An additional $600 million extension to India was also under consideration.
More innocent blood spilt in Afghanistan:
- “The bombing is very intense and very heavy. Many people have died. The United States should stop bombing. They are all civilians in this area,” Tani tribe elder Ghazi Nawaz Tani was quoted as saying.
maybe next time they won’t allow terroists
who bomb the most technologically advanced
nation in the world to train inside
their poor, patheitc country.
And how would they do that? They are not living in a democracy. Thanks for posting.
