Karzai "Thank You, U.S. Taxpayers for Supporting Us and the War in Afghanistan."

Did he really seriously say that?

I would like our elected officials to respond to this! 


What has the war in Afghanistan gotten us?  Besides the military making billions by smuggling in and keeping the heroin pipeline going!  


Oh, besides Afghanistan has major minerals in the country that could transform it into being one of the most important mining countries in the world.

The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.

An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys.

The vast scale of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said.

 So is it any wonder that the U.S. will continue the "War on Terror" in Afghanistan so they can give all the big corporations control over the mining of the countries resources, besides continuing to protect the Poppy fields for heroin export?

Yet We the Tax Payers of the United States are suffering within the U.S. and 'supporting' Afghanistan at the same time.  We are losing our most valuable resources too.... the death of our soldiers due to the fake war there.

Wars are all about taking over resources of another country with made up excuses.

I am a Tax Payer and I DO NOT SUPPORT THE CONTINUED 10 YEAR OLD FAKE WAR ON TERROR IN AFGHANISTAN!

Karzai - You are NOT Welcome for our Tax Payer money supporting you and your country and the war that is costing us our citizen's lives and Trillions of our money!
