Our Afghan War for Pipeline & Poppy Fields

This may be tinfoil hat shit. Then again, it may not. Whatever, it bears bringing up once in a while.

Professor Smartass, links to all his important points.

"There is only one thing in this world, and that is to keep acquiring money and more money, power and more power. All the rest is meaningless."

Instead, it is more likely we are in Afghanistan because someone thinks they can make a lot of money there, from the Trans Afghanistan Pipeline and so Wall Street can continue to collect the income from the Heroin poppies, just as the British did when they tried to force Afghan opium on the Chinese way back in the Opium War, and just as Bush was trying to force oil laws favorable to oil companies on Iraq, so they could collect up to 88% of the income from Iraq's tens of trillion of dollars worth of oil.

Energy companies courted the Taliban for a pipeline from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to take natural gas to India ended shortly before 9/11. In 2006, India was concerned about continuing the project until America gave assurances that we would protect the pipeline.

Plenty more.

I never put anything past capitalists and their politicians. Particularly the Bush family & friends.
