Is anyone not aware that Iraq was for oil and Afghanistan for gas?
Afghanistan also has massive reserves of Lithium
An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium," a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and Blackberries.
The vast scale of Afghanistan's mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said.
While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war.
Lithium....not a new discovery in Stan...as for the title??? our lads and lasses are losing their lives doing there job, what ever reason anyone believes why they are their, there must be a degree of respect for them doing the job they do and signing their life away, if it wasn't for this mentality back during the 1920's i'd probably be speaking German now.

Afghans fighting for independence from us for the first time, funnily enough.
Also Dan, rattling the respec' our troops line out is just what the gubbermint want, we don't question their motives. Bringing our troops home is the best way to respect them, not sending them to die for oil.
Very emotive subject fellas, you still have several serving personnel within WB, some of whom are either in theatre or just about to go (again!). Please just think before posting.
Thank you,
Stu
