Saudi Arabia of lithium

[Bostech]

Ehh...USA found 1 trillion worth of minerals...in Afghanistan.
LOL.
I guess I was wrong,it was oil pipelines...and minerals.

Funny,many "western" companies are digging around world for "resources"...Before war in ex-Yu they found oil in...Bosnia(there was US base near that area),also in another war region Kosovo they found simillar minerals too(big USA base in middle of it) and so on....I guess if you have valuable resources and your government is not corrupted enough,you might end up in a "civil war" one day.

Saudi Arabia of lithium....discovered by "Pentagon scientists".
Lihtium is used in laptop batteries and also future for car batteries.

Didn't I say that oil spill in Gulf was shady?
I guess they want to create enviroment disaster so people get sick of oil and start moving to EV technology....and guess who controls Saudi Arabia of lihtium???

News barely made it onto CNN and then disappeared,on Fox News they are arguing how "Talibans would benefit from this".

[JeffreyS]

Hopefully all of the people of Afghanistan can benefit from a budding new industry for them.

[Bostech]

Yes,people of Afghanistan.

Its amazing comments people are living on other sites....they act like this is something innocent,like they just found minerals by accident.

CIA knew about all these resources from Russians DECADES AGO,which explains why they got involved in Afghanistan in first place.Now "conveniently" in 2010 they "discover" all those minerals.

Wasn't it just reported that Bolivia was the Saudi Arabia of lithium?  Wouldn't it have been a lot easier and cheaper to invade them instead of Afghanistan?  They are much closer to us and I bet the CIA has more experience there too.

But they have a friend in Hugo and a deity in Che.

Bos, are you suggesting the US started a trillion dollar war so that it could make a trillion dollars?  We in the US are falling behind in math, but that seems highly illogical.  But hey, sometimes you can get just greedy and bored enough that anything sounds like a lark.

There is more then lithium...gold,iron,oil and opium.
Afghanistan is gold mine,it was NEVER exploited.Most of lithium there is EASY to access.That is reason they call it Saudi Arabia of lithium...its east to get it.
1 trillion is probably on low side,they are not telling us entire truth...there could be 3-5 trillion dollars worth of stuff.
Entire country is controlled by USA with puppet government,so companies like BP and Haliburton can exploit resources without any restrictions.
Its a gold mine,it doesnt get better then that.

Russians must have discovered all this and CIA found out then got involved in Afghanistan with famous mujaheddins and then 9/11 attack gave excuse for USA to enter country and do whatever US wants.


Oh yeah and cheap workforce,those companies can hire Afghans to work for $2 a day.

1.Trillion dollars for war are paid by....Americans,not companies who stand behind these wars.They are ripping profits while average American pays for war.
Haliburton overcharged US government on more then one occasion.

2.That money for war would be spent anyway,its not like USA is hiring more soldiers...those soldiers would cost regardless if they were in Afghanistan or USA.
If wasnt for war those soldiers would be at some USA base practicing for war.

Money made of exploitation of other countries doesnt go to Americans by "chosen ones" like Bush family,Cheney,Haliburton and other companies involved.Its their private war and you are paying for it.

[St. Auggie]

Yes an american soldier stationed in the US training surely has an equal cost to one stationed on the other side of the world.  Also when my cousin was killed in Af., that had the same cost as well, right? 

[Bostech]

Millitary is just a tool for politicians to accomplish their goals.Like I said,even when expenses get higher that price is carried by American taxpayers...they DONT CARE.
They also don't care about casualties,unless they need to get elected and they will pretend to care about people.
Your cousin dying is expense to your family,as far as these scums are concerned they will find replacement easily.
These people are same like CEO of BP...they dont care,when someone gets killed they think of themselves not victims.
BP is company involved in all this past...100 years.And you see how they are treating Americans in their own country.

Nice timing.  Just when public support for the war in Afghanistan is at its lowest.  But oops....US Geological Survey, British Geological Survey, and the Pentagon have know about this for years.http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2010/06/14/say_what_afghanistan_has_1_trillion_in_untapped_mineral_resources

But more to the point, how exactly does anyone expect this to help the Afghan people?  An incredibly corrupt central government, many provincial governments run by warlords and drug-lords, a population of farmers, an active insurrection...color me skeptical but I doubt this will be Afghanistan's saving grace.  If anything the fight for control of valuable resources could make things worse.
