" Let's see .., six months before 9-11 is just about the time the natural gas pipeline negotiations with the Taliban broke down. They wanted more money than we were willing to pay to allow Unocals' pipeline to run through Afghanistan and into Pakistan.

The project has been around for some years The building of the trans-Afghanistan pipeline has been under discussion for some years but plans have been held up by Afghanistan's unstable political situation. This follows a summit meeting bringing together the presidents of the three countries last May when the project received formal go-ahead. The pipeline would represent the first major foreign investment in Afghanistan in many years. Alternate route With improved regional security after the fall of the Taleban about a year ago, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Pakistan have decided to push ahead with plans for the ambitious 1,500-kilometre-long gas pipeline. Pakistan will be the terminus for the pipeline The leaders of the three countries have now signed a framework agreement defining the legal aspects of setting up a consortium to build and operate the pipeline. The trans-Afghanistan pipeline would export Turkmen gas via Afghanistan to Pakistani ports, from where it could reach world markets. India is the largest potential buyer and the Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, said Delhi was welcome to join the project. Turkmenistan has some of the world's greatest reserves of natural gas, but still relies on tightly controlled Russian pipelines to export it. Ashgabat has long been desperate to find an alternative export route. Wary investors Afghanistan would profit by receiving millions of dollars in transit fees and construction of the pipeline would provide thousands of desperately needed jobs. It is also hoped such a project would boost regional economic ties and pave the way for further foreign investment. The chief difficulty will be actually finding the money to build the pipeline. The Asian Development Bank is carrying out a study for the project. But investors will be very cautious about putting serious money into Afghanistan when the central government in Kabul still has only limited influence in the regions the pipeline would cross.

I reckon I can come up with at least 4 fairly different answers with official quotes and links that've been issued over the years. . .

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites airborne47 0 #45 October 15, 2009 Yeah i agree her friend (Lori) and the others did their jobs. And the powers that be used her for pure propaganda! She was no super soldier but just another inadequatly trained r.e.m.f. However she was also not in a firing position (Turret or leaning against door weapon out) Sitting in the midde of the back in a vehicle maunuvering that aggresivly her best role would have been to distrubute ammo. Which she did not do! like i said remf!!! But i really don't expect supply clerks in maintenance companies to react like COMBAT soldiers. As for being unable to clear her weapon. Again it goes back to training. Combat soldiers are far more likely to maintain their weapons then remfs! And in a dessrt enviromant that is APSOLUTLY CRITICAL!! Failure to do so is almost a gaurantee for a malfunction. And not all malfunctions are clearable simply by pulling the charging handle back. Sometimes you have to rod it. Again back to training can you spell remf. But such acttions are typical of remfs! So like i said she WAS NO SUPER SOLDIER. JUST ANOTHER REMF!! But she also was not responsiable in any way for how she was used. What really pissed me off was the same people who used her fucked her rescuers. And i gaurantee that breach of opsec (releasing the video) was NOT a milatary decision!! Ther are only two units in the U.S. Milatary which were created primarily for hostage rescue. Which is a mission they almost never do. This is not world war two you don't need a camera man with a big bulky caamera on his shoulder to get combat footage. Video of that mission would be apsolutly priceless to those units for after action review! So of course it's going to be filmed!! But is not for public disemanation!!!!!

cliffwhite 0 #35 October 14, 2009 QuoteQuoteAll of those people are dead for a pipeline . How's that project coming, cliff? Surely if the US could pull off the 9-11 hoax, it would be a piece of cake to get that pipeline built in the last 8 years. So, where's my cheap Turkmeni gas? Or maybe it's not about a pipeline...hmmm. Ya know Dan, Im flabbergasted that the military has failed to clear the proposed pipeline route of "terrorist threats". Especially as the deal for construction was signed shortly after the invasion began. Darn those pesky Afghanis! Blues, Cliff2muchTruth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your ideas are complete shit. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/soouth_asia/2608713.stm "An agreement has been signed in the Turkmen capital, Ashgabat, paving the way for construction of a gas pipeline from the Central Asian republic through Afghanistan to Pakistan. The project has been around for some years The building of the trans-Afghanistan pipeline has been under discussion for some years but plans have been held up by Afghanistan's unstable political situation. This follows a summit meeting bringing together the presidents of the three countries last May when the project received formal go-ahead. The pipeline would represent the first major foreign investment in Afghanistan in many years. Alternate route With improved regional security after the fall of the Taleban about a year ago, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Pakistan have decided to push ahead with plans for the ambitious 1,500-kilometre-long gas pipeline. Pakistan will be the terminus for the pipeline The leaders of the three countries have now signed a framework agreement defining the legal aspects of setting up a consortium to build and operate the pipeline. The trans-Afghanistan pipeline would export Turkmen gas via Afghanistan to Pakistani ports, from where it could reach world markets. India is the largest potential buyer and the Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, said Delhi was welcome to join the project. Turkmenistan has some of the world's greatest reserves of natural gas, but still relies on tightly controlled Russian pipelines to export it. Ashgabat has long been desperate to find an alternative export route. Wary investors Afghanistan would profit by receiving millions of dollars in transit fees and construction of the pipeline would provide thousands of desperately needed jobs. It is also hoped such a project would boost regional economic ties and pave the way for further foreign investment. The chief difficulty will be actually finding the money to build the pipeline. The Asian Development Bank is carrying out a study for the project. But investors will be very cautious about putting serious money into Afghanistan when the central government in Kabul still has only limited influence in the regions the pipeline would cross.

DanG 1 #39 October 14, 2009 QuoteThe leaders of the three countries have now signed a framework agreement defining the legal aspects of setting up a consortium to build and operate the pipeline. My point is contained in your link. They signed an agreement about coming up with an agreement. There is no pipeline. If that were the reason for the US invasion, don't you think we'd have made more progress on it by now? The only people going on about a pipeline are the conspiracy nutjobs who think we never landed on the moon, GWB brought down the Towers, JFK was killed by the mob, and Pamela Anderson's tits are real.

DanG 1 #42 October 14, 2009 QuoteTerrorists and car bombers? Like these? "The two British operatives, arrested by Basra police and later freed by a British military operation, were identified by the BBC as “members of the SAS elite special forces” (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/424614.stm ). Your link to the BBC article is no good. A search using the supposedly quoted sentance is not fruitful. Care to try again with your link? - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vortexring 0 #43 October 14, 2009 You'll love this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1626889.stm The piece at the end: "But the argument that these are the main motivations behind US actions, not the desire to stamp out international terrorism, will probably find support mainly among those who already have a fondness for conspiracy theories." Doesn't it resonate? Still, the key question needing asked is exactly why are we in Afghanistan? I reckon I can come up with at least 4 fairly different answers with official quotes and links that've been issued over the years. . . Taking into account the variety of the official government policy of at least the USA & UK, coupled with blatant and ridiculous government lies - who can blame anyone of being sceptical? 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbearfng 16 #44 October 15, 2009 Quote You sure about that? Last I heard the deal was never even finalized between Unocal and the Afghan government. Maybe your sources are better than mine. Of course, your sources say that GWB brought down the twin towers, so maybe they're not so good after all. Why am I bothering? Your ideas are complete shit. Come on Dan, what else do you expect by now.....after all Cliffwhite is.... SUPERTROLL!!!! -------------(please don't feed the trolls.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airborne47 0 #45 October 15, 2009 Yeah i agree her friend (Lori) and the others did their jobs. And the powers that be used her for pure propaganda! She was no super soldier but just another inadequatly trained r.e.m.f. However she was also not in a firing position (Turret or leaning against door weapon out) Sitting in the midde of the back in a vehicle maunuvering that aggresivly her best role would have been to distrubute ammo. Which she did not do! like i said remf!!! But i really don't expect supply clerks in maintenance companies to react like COMBAT soldiers. As for being unable to clear her weapon. Again it goes back to training. Combat soldiers are far more likely to maintain their weapons then remfs! And in a dessrt enviromant that is APSOLUTLY CRITICAL!! Failure to do so is almost a gaurantee for a malfunction. And not all malfunctions are clearable simply by pulling the charging handle back. Sometimes you have to rod it. Again back to training can you spell remf. But such acttions are typical of remfs! So like i said she WAS NO SUPER SOLDIER. JUST ANOTHER REMF!! But she also was not responsiable in any way for how she was used. What really pissed me off was the same people who used her fucked her rescuers. And i gaurantee that breach of opsec (releasing the video) was NOT a milatary decision!! Ther are only two units in the U.S. Milatary which were created primarily for hostage rescue. Which is a mission they almost never do. This is not world war two you don't need a camera man with a big bulky caamera on his shoulder to get combat footage. Video of that mission would be apsolutly priceless to those units for after action review! So of course it's going to be filmed!! But is not for public disemanation!!!!! And yeah the Tillman incident was a FUCKING DISCRASE!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyChimp 0 #47 October 15, 2009 QuoteQuote Last but not least, a mention from you on innocent people in Afghanistan being killed. I'm seeing a lot of people killed in the middle east by IED's and bombs planted on motorcycles, cars and suicide bombers, not so much from Nato forces. Quote Terrorists and car bombers? Like these? "The two British operatives, arrested by Basra police and later freed by a British military operation, were identified by the BBC as “members of the SAS elite special forces” (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/424614.stm ). They were disguised by wigs and Arab dress. Iraqi sources reported that the Iraqi police were watching the two, and when they tried to approach them they shot two policemen and tried to escape the scene. The Iraqi police chased and captured them, to discover large amount of explosives planted in the car, which apparently was planned to be remotely detonated in the busy market of Basra. " Blues, Cliff Oh I get it....... so you mean for the last decade of terrorism attacks worldwide like showed in the earlier post of mine are nothing but British operatives.
