This whole thing is a charade. It’s all smoke and mirrors. The fact is that Afghanistan is all about the gas pipeline that runs from Turkmenistan through that country. And of course, it’s also about the drug trade. This disinformation campaign is as useful as the war itself. Are folks paying attention to what's behind the curtain of lies dropped before us by the media?

Sabine - Do not forget about the 3 trillion plus in minerals they are planning to mine in Afganistan. The fight for control over those mineral rights are a big thing right now.
In an article in the newspaper last week, Karzai and the Talaban are in negotiations over these mineral rights.
This is becoming another Vietnam. All we want is there natural resources. Politicians and big business do not give a damn about the people there.
