Why are we there? Right here is the answer from your post..

re: >>>"If you look at the deployment of US forces in Afghanistan, as against other NATO country forces in Afghanistan, you’ll see that undoubtedly the US forces are positioned to guard the pipeline route. It’s what it’s about. It’s about money, it’s about energy, it’s not about democracy." <<<

My brother told me a couple of years ago that there was a dozer operator from my old home town going to Afghanistan for 3-6 months at a time.. When asked what he was doing there. All he would say he was working on a road across the country..

It's not rocket science that that road is be used to build and service a pipeline..

Just like when the Vietnam war was heating up, the South China sea basin was thought to have the potential for vast reserves of oil.. It didn't quite pan out but it was worth going to war for the elitists must have thought imo..

Connect the dots folks, they are HUGE..

Now my neighbor just told me a few days ago her brother was going to Iraq to work under contract as a air traffic controller for a year, I think... He just retired here at about 50, got into a bad real estate deal, had two children in college and needed to go back to work..

Oh boy, that's the problem, the war profiteers throw the common man a pretty good bone and they go for it. So then they support these shenanigans..

Sad but true..:(

Excellent summation of US "policies". Too bad that Mars, Mammon and Eros are the rulers of the US.
