Recently there was a find in Afghanistan of minerals worth 1 Trillion Dollars. This find now alters the situation in Afghanistan where Barack Hussein Obama is preparing to begin withdrawal in 2011. What will now occur now is that the Tranzi Progressives Neo-Wilsonians will pressure Obama to keep troops there, not to defeat the Taliban but secure the minerals. As what happened in Iraq, it will not be America who benefits from this, it will be China. Ralph Peters explains it in his current article and it’s not good for America.
Beyond reportedly vast deposits of rare minerals (lithium, etc.) essential to popular technologies, there’s copper, cobalt, iron and gold in them thar hills. Afghanistan never before offered so much to fight over.
Instead of making life easier for our troops, the finds will make it harder to disengage. Washington will succumb to arguments that we need to preserve access to these strategic resources, even though it’s far cheaper to buy them than to prolong a military protectorate. (US firms won’t get the good contracts, anyway.)
We already provide strategic security for Chinese mining interests in Afghanistan — having been chumped by the Karzai government out of the gate. Now the Chinese will arrive in hordes, bribing and smiling.
It’s high time to ask ourselves the basic question about Afghanistan that we’ve avoided since we made the decision to stay: What do we get out of it?“Chinese access to strategic minerals” is not an adequate answer.
America must stop being the world’s sucker and we should fight only for our interest. We should get economic benefits from our wars, not the Global Community. The United States of America is the world’s biggest sucker.
More News: In a blow to the Progressive-Islamic Axis, the state of Oklahoma has banned Sharia Law.
Legal experts contacted by ABC News said they did not know of one instance of a judge in the U.S. invoking sharia in rendering a decision.
Cases of first impression are rare,” said Jim Cohen , a professor at the Fordham University School of Law in New York City, adding, “I have never heard of a case” involving sharia.
Cohen added that he questions whether the proposed amendment would pass constitutional muster.
“Our federal system and our state system is in part governed by the concept of separation of powers. It’s far from clear that the Oklahoma legislature can restrict what a separate branch of government can consider in terms of doing its job – in this case, deciding cases,” he said.
More states should pass this measure to prevent Islamic Colonization of America. I salute the patriots of Oklahoma for taking a stand against the Islamic-Progressive Axis.
