Robert Gates: 'We're Not Ever Leaving' Afghanistan

Like playing the game of GO! But for Oil and oilpipelines I do believe we are there! For some other resources, yes, to deny others who could then be our rivals. After all, the World belongs to US!....or so the US 'Elite' (sic) thinks.

By the way, since we are never leaving, time to set up the Walmarts, McDonalds and Disneyland, et al......Confusedhakehands: They'll be much happier with our occupation than the former ones.....:dancing2: They'll get rid of us the way they did the Soviets and before them others.

How are bodybag and casket futures doing? Munitions? Tanks? Warcraft of all sorts? Drones? Lasers? Missiles? DU rounds?....oh what a lovely war!!!!!...and what a racket!
