Bye-Bye Withdraw -- Afghanistan says it found 1.8 billion barrel oilfield

Congratz...the U.S. has now found their needed execuse to stay permanently. And so like this story goes a few people will get rich while everyone else stays poor and die while this fake war gets paid for by the dwindling coffers of the American tax-payer. Thankfully the repubs (and growing democrats) are looking to rob the last great piggybank -- social security -- which will help pay for this war to the eager US war contractors and drop the rest into a bottomless pit and wonder gleefully what happened to the unaccounted $10 trillion which will expectedly go missing. All part of the plan. Afganistan, America thanks you. :sarcasm:

Now the real question is whether Obama will stick to his word or cave to the right and corporate america again and let this never-ending war never-end for the sake of appeasement. As usual we wont know until after the mid-terms since right now all democrats are pretending to be progressives since it is only progressive speak that gets the votes...after the mid-terms we will know where he stands....my guess is...Good luck on that 2011 withdraw.

3. I can hear the speech already...........
I've delayed the draw-down of troop strength to give Afghan leaders time to sort out oil revenue sharing.

5. You don't have a clue-I don't either. I will wait to hear what
the President says before I second guess with snarky suppositions.
