Tut Tut Santosh, I thought I was cynical. Next you will be telling us this
war is also about Central Asian oil & gas, that Bush met with the Taleban
before he was elected, that Unacol proposed the pipeline across Afghanistan,
that Unocal contributed $125,000 in soft money to the Republican Party and
spent over $1.4 million in lobbying to insure that its "special corporate
interests" would be represented by the U.S. Government, that Unocal has said
the project would have to wait until Afghanistan achieved the "peace and
stability necessary to obtain financing from international agencies and a
government that is recognized by the United States and the United
Nations"..... ...surely not?
