Note the rare earth elements which weren't covered as much as should be. This is the stuff we need to build all the "green" crap that keeps popping up like your windmills and car batteries etc. not to mention your ipod, cell phone, handheld gadget batteries.

So how does it feel you "no more war for oil" loons to know that now we're at war for your green agenda?

"To Hannam, chairman of J.P. Morgan Capital Markets, Afghanistan represents a gigantic, untapped opportunity -- one of the last great natural-resource frontiers. Landlocked and pinioned by imperial invaders, Afghanistan has been cursed by its geography for thousands of years. Now, for the first time, Hannam believes, that geography could be an asset. The two most resource-starved nations on the planet, China and India, sit next door to Afghanistan, where, according to Pentagon estimates, minerals worth nearly $1 trillion lie buried."

This doesn't shock me...

It is a fact that the Obama administration and JP Morgan CEO James Dimon are doing illegal things

How Washington Mutual (the nations largest savings and loan bank) was let fail while the other banks were bailed out so JP Morgan could buy the bank on pennies on the dollar is evidence of that. There are emails between the government and JP Morgan discussing this very thing before it happened. These things are now being brought up in the courts. A class action lawsuit from the shareholders is being filed.

JP Morgan will be exposed pretty soon (and so will Obama)

The President is also the Commander of US armed forces. If he gave the order to bug out of Afghanistan and Iraq and return to the states it could be done in weeks.

Don't overlook the profitability of the European heroin trade. Why else has the US military been guarding Afghani poppy fields?
