Afghanistan sitting on a gold mine.
The real reason we’re fighting the war?

The US Geological Survey estimates there are 700 billion cubic metres of gas and 300 million tons of oil in Afghanistan. Afghan Mining Minister Mohammad Ibrahim Adel said there are also significant deposits of copper, iron, gold, coal -- as well as emeralds and rubies.

Lots of Opium!

The USA did not have declare war on the Afghan people in order to get a pipline though their country.They had good relations with the Taliban after defeating the USSR and could have quite easily done a deal with them ie paying them compensation for the pipline and giving their people education instead of creating hate for the West.

Hamed Karsai worked for Occidental Petroleum in Afghanistan before becoming leader of Afghanistan.

Dick Cheney is the ex-CEo of Haliburton the company that has the technical ability to build these pipelines.I have no problem with companies doing ligitimate deals with Central Asian Companies to access their oil.I do however find it reprehensible that wars are created for nothing but profit and we accept this BS about Al Queda and the war on terror being fact.

*...it wasnt till taliban destroyed the wholr crop did usa see an issue worthy of invading..*

Ah of course lol, it was more opium that the US was really chasing.

That and a bit of oil was enough for them to seemingly create
the Al Queda conspiracy, blow up some embassies and hoodwink
the public. That CIA did it one again!

At least we have our resident OLO comedians!

I thought you were a most exceptional comedian, yourself, Yabby.

It was hilarious the way you were able to portray someone who was totally fooled by the succession of obviously fake video tapes in which 'Osama bin Laden' 'confessed' to orchestrating the 9/11 terrorist attacks. (see http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2166#49893)

daggett,Yabby and Pericles have their own hidden agendas.They cannot explain the fact that 3 buildings came down at virtually the free fall acceleration of gravity.It is impossible for this to happen if the kinetic energy is being used to crush in a pancake style the lower floors.There was no evidence of pancaking and molten steel flowed like streams.They have the scientific evidence of re-acted and un-reacted nano-thermite.

All these two can do now is to resort to derision,in the faint hope of labelling anyone who can think for themselves as lunatic conspiracy theorists.

I guess that it is the fate of every second thread on OLO to be hijacked by the 9-11 conspiracy nutters.

Sad, really.
