If the reports of lithium deposits are true, we will never leave Afghanistan.
Indeed. You can count your stars the government will want to take a cut. The question is, how big...? And what are they willing to do in order to gain it?

Ooh please wise one, tell me under what pretext you make this assumption from? Considering the amount of oil we are getting from Iraq, which proves your full of hogwash!!

Great. We found valuable natural resources underneath a Muslim nation. What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, things have a way of not working out, which is why it's best not to invade other countries with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, tanks and planes--you better be pretty sure of the results before you commit those lives.

It sure is.

But should we be doing the liberal thing of saying that Obama is only if Afghanistan to steal all of their minerals?

How many years did we have to hear that Bush went to Iraq only for the oil to only find we never took a drop of it.

I find it odd that someone in Afghanistan or has traveled to the area did not know this was there before this. Surely some expert would have known this before now.

That's rampant. Or rabid.

Your Hitler comment is as incorrect as your spelling.


Or perhaps you were replying to some other thread, my apologies.
