All we did in Afghanistan was to kill people, create a feeble puppet government and turn the country back over to the warlords after bombing the crap out of any large groupings of people that looked like they might be "the enemy".

GST, you are the most negative American I have ever seen post, but then again maybe you are bitter Arab in exile for all I know. What nationality are you? By the way, you missed this article the other day mentioning 1.5 million exiles returning to Afghanistan and thousands of men putting down their weapons for the first time in two decades. There are a record number of weddings too.

Since December, more than 1.5 million Afghans have returned to Kabul from years of wartime exile or refuge abroad, while tens of thousands of men have put down their guns for the first time in two decades.

<< Are you familiar with the weapons used against people?>>

You're referring to the 767s and 737s the savage arabs flew into the WTC and the Pentagon and that field in western Penn ?

<< We are experts at creating fried human hamburger. >>

Among the savage taliban and al qaeda combatants, yes. They were given over six weeks notice, given many ample opportunites to surrendur and cease and desist their terrorist ways. They didn't; they thought the US was bluffing. Shame on them.

Re We will not stick around because there is no oil to pump.

Not so sure about that. The "feeble puppet government" that the US created in Afghanistan will oversee the creation of a pipeline. Do you know that Hamid Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, used to work as a consultant for the US oil company UNOCAL, and was involved in the negotiations with the Taliban for a pipeline?

eurasianet.org

Under interim government Chairman Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan has revived an old hope. It is officially seeking to build a pipeline that would take Turkmen oil and gas to India via Pakistan and Afghanistan. (...) Karzai’s "pipeline of peace" would essentially reassemble the CentGas Consortium, a $2 billion project led by Houston oil giant Unocal in the mid-1990s.

Karzai should be familiar with Unocal; he worked as a consultant to the company in the ‘90s.


lemonde.fr

Il [Hamid Karzai] a parfait sa formation aux Etats-Unis où il fut un moment consultant de l'entreprise pétrolière américaine Unocal, quand celle-ci étudiait la construction d'un oléoduc en Afghanistan.

(Hamid Karzai was educated in the US, where he was for a while a consultant for American petroleum company Unocal, when it was studying/working on the construction of an oil pipeline in Afghanistan).
