Afghanistan- A War For Gas And Oil Pipelines
"Since the 2001 invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, the US has a military presence on China’s Western frontier, in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. is intent upon establishing permanent military bases in Afghanistan, which occupies a strategic position bordering on the former Soviet republics, China and Iran."

*One could add,bringing in "Democracy" to the list of excuses!Usually when a journalist idiot wants us to become entangled in another war / social work action using the British army / policing role / Oil Imperialism escapade then they either use the usual ‘Think of the children’ routine or now the ‘what about the women’ routine.
We are not in Afghanistan for any of the following reasons ;
1) Helping the children
2) Helping the women
3) Stopping the heroin
4) Fighting terrorism
5) Stopping terrorism in the UK
There is in fact two reasons why we are in fghanistan, and why British soldiers are dying, and that is for ;
1) Oil
2) Gas
The maps above show you the proposed Oil pipe line and gas pipe line planned for Afghanistan – The Eurasian Corridor.

PS:The US wants India to have no role in Afghanistan for this very purpose.It neeeds the Pakis to control Afghanistan to build the pipeline to the Arabian Sea.It is also why it does not want an Indo-Pak-Iran pipeline for gas,as it cannot control it and it would make Pak more energy independent and less inclined to want the Caspian pipeline as well.Iraq was "all about oil",controlling Iraq's oil wealth in a world of declining oil production.Saddam who wasn't playing ball had to go.It is why the US will never let their favourite rent-boy in the region, Pakistan,from going under and will support it to the hilt dspite its terrorism against India.An agreement has been signed in the Turkmen capital, Ashgabat, paving the way for construction of a gas pipeline from the Central Asian republic through Afghanistan to Pakistan.
The Global research Group states that ;
The Eurasian Corridor
Since the 2001 invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, the US has a military presence on China’s Western frontier, in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. is intent upon establishing permanent military bases in Afghanistan, which occupies a strategic position bordering on the former Soviet republics, China and Iran.
Moreover, the US and NATO have also established since 1996, military ties with several former Soviet republics under GUUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Moldava). In the post 9/11 era, Washington has used the pretext of the “global war against terrorism” to further develop a U.S. military presence in GUUAM countries. Uzbekistan withdrew from GUUAM in 2002.(The organization is now referred to as GUAM).
China has oil interests in Eurasia as well as in sub-Saharan Africa, which encroach upon Anglo-American oil interests.
What is at stake is the geopolitical control over the Eurasian corridor.
In March 1999, the U.S. Congress adopted the Silk Road Strategy Act, which defined America’s broad economic and strategic interests in a region extending from the Eastern Mediterranean to Central Asia. The Silk Road Strategy (SRS) outlines a framework for the development of America’s business empire along an extensive geographical corridor.
The successful implementation of the SRS requires the concurrent “militarization” of the entire Eurasian corridor as a means to securing control over extensive oil and gas reserves, as well as “protecting” pipeline routes and trading corridors. This militarization is largely directed against China, Russia and Iran.
Take a look at the maps above – then note how the army bases are in prime positions to protect the oil and gas pipelines.
That is what this ‘war’ is about.
The Afghanistan war is about securing the territory through which the oil and gas pipelines will have to pass through in order to ensure Russia, China and Iran are outmanouvered in the last great wars for the last of the global oil supplies on the planet.
Only yesterday the Independent reported that the Peak Oil process is even close than the ‘experts’ have been so far admitting.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/scien ... 66585.html
The world is heading for a catastrophic energy crunch that could cripple a global economic recovery because most of the major oil fields in the world have passed their peak production, a leading energy economist has warned.
Higher oil prices brought on by a rapid increase in demand and a stagnation, or even decline, in supply could blow any recovery off course, said Dr Fatih Birol, the chief economist at the respected International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris, which is charged with the task of assessing future energy supplies by OECD countries.
This is what the Iraq War and Afghanistan War are about.
This is also why China is exporting millions of its people into Africa in order to colonise the African continent as Lebensraum for the Chinese state – and to steal its oil and resources from the indigenous African people.
British troops are being slaughtered in Afghanistan for gas and oil pipelines.
That is the truth behind the lies the government spin.
They lied to get us into Iraq and they are lying now about why we went into Afghanistan.
The Taliban are not Al Qaeda.
The Taliban are mainly local Afghans who do not want to be occupied by any invading army, local Afghan nationalists resisting occupation, ISI pakistani agents fighting a proxy war against the US, drug smugglers and opium growers protecting their drug territories, foreign jihadists working with the pakistani ISI and the angry relatives of Afghans killed by coalition forces getting revenge.
The Taliban are not a threat to us – the fact we are over there means Islamists will attack us over there and over here.
We must withdraw and seal our own national borders, deport all islamists from the UK, execute all convicted islamist terrorists in the UK, deport all those that fund, support and assist Islamist terrorism in the UK – and most important of all create a 100 % national energy production system that means we do not have to depend on any imports of energy from the Middle East oil, Russian gas or Eurasian oil and gas supplies.
We are at risk of being attacked here in Britain, because we are over there in Islamic nations stealing their gas and oil, or stealing their land to allow us to pump the gas and oil of other nations into our nations.
