Thanks! Wasn't aware of that nugget of information. So no surprises the same remit in Syria, to get their pipeline through it. In Afghanistan from where which country to where was the pipe line?

Also were you aware of this? WikiLeaks - Julian Assange speaking in 2011: "The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war" #Afghanistan https://uploads1.newtube.app/TonyHeller/Goz4EH7

Yes I heard that and I don't doubt all kinds of criminal corporate interests have ways to exploit war zones in similar ways but that was not the original reason for the Afghan war. It was all about the pipeline which was planned to bring oil and/or natural gas from the Caspian Sea down through Turkmenistan, Afganistan, Pakistan to India. They have now remamed it TAPI. (Probably to distance it from that original project).

They have pretty much sanitised the internet of the masses of incriminating information about it that used to be easy to find but some references to it still remain like this page from early 2002
