Endgame in Afghanistan
by Jayne Lyn Stahl | July 18, 2010 - 11:34pm

The goal in Afghanistan has never been to win. There was never anything to win in the first place. There was no war, until we got there. The objective has been, from the start, acquisition of that nation's resources.

Still, the pablum from the mainstream media, and from the campaign trail in 2008, was that the U.S. had to go into Afghanistan to capture, dead or alive, those fellows who brought down the Twin Towers.

While the military effort in Afghanistan began less than a month after the bombing of the World Trade Center, some report that interest in invading the region by India, as well as Iran began as early as March, 2001.

By the time the U.S. is ready to declare "game over" in Afghanistan, it may be lights out for the planet.

It might be wise for the U.S., and whatever allies it has left, to leave the apocalypse where it belongs--in the Bible, and implement a definitive plan to begin the immediate withdrawal from that region. If the U.S. continues its mad course of empire-building in an effort to control the natural resources of other sovereign countries, it may find itself with another use for lithium: to treat manic-depression.

I wasn't aware Dick Cheney was hiding in Afghanistan. Ossama Bin Who?
