If we wanted the oil and the problems associated with defending it we would still be in Kuwait. Since the oil rich countries have more oil than sense we don't have be in the area - they attach each other! It think it is about time that these lowlifes start tinking about wha they do with our money. Recent reports show U.S. dollars are the currency of choice in Islamabad.
If the Taliban didn't want our attention them they should stop harboring those who would injure us and just live their miserable existance alone. They drew first blood, know they will meet their God.

The Taliban are speaking the truth; 6000+ Americans died for Unocal and Israel and the Bush family's financial connections with the House of Saud, and the death toll isn't over yet.

Geesh, it's amazing how things get turned around when they're passed from source to source. "We want to get all those oily dirtbags" has turned into "We want to get bags of oil from the dirt".

Uh, okay, which is it? A war against Islam or a war for oil, I'm getting confused. Tell the Taliban to make up our minds!

Perhaps they mean that our bombers are fueled by jet fuel refined from oil. They were simply making a factual statement. ;>)

Note that we're after the Taliban, not particularly Bin laden. We will get him, he knows too much. The Pres said we are after the Taliban for supporting a terrorist named bin Laden who is responsible for killing 6000 American civilians. While an oil pipeline would likely benefit the Afghans and a whole lot of other people, it is hard to imagine that 6000+ Americans died for Unocal and Israel and the Bush family's financial connections with the House of Saud, ............
Afterall oil is a strategic resource for the USA. That necessitates us being involved in the middle east. With or with out Israel in the picture.The proof is that the U.S. got Bin Laden's American family segment (with their new Swiss citizenship) safely out of the conntry (via Texas) immediately after 9-11.
If there actually proof of this?

The WTC , etc attacks gave the GREEN light to the US to take over Afganastan (put in US controled government)so the US can build a pipeline...
In reality, this war is NOT about terrorism...!!!

Better yet, go to where workers are still digging out the bodies of 6000+ civiliians and tell *them* that. See how long you last.
You're one sick, deluded bastard. Seek help. Or just crawl back under your slimy rock.
