Just prA’li not in our lifetime tho’…
While the Gulf of Mexico will be fucked the fuck up for a long ass time there is some other shit we have been fucking up since the G Dubbz administration. Namely, Afghanistan.
Afghanistan seemed like a shithole to me. Especially when you looked at all those pics from the days of their war with the Russians. I mean yeah, they have hell’a poppy fields and that helps the heroin dealers move horse like a mother, but do we need to keep losing American lives so the Amy Winehouses and Lindsay Lohans can stay lifted? My problem was that I wasn’t using the molecular microscopes that the Pentagon has in effect.
Afghanistan looks like a land filled with deserts of sheepherders when in reality they might be one of the richest nations on the planet. All that bombing we have done to the Afghan terrain in search of, er, yeah, has uncovered a vast wealth of mineral resources that were previously unaccounted for. Something to the tune of trillions of dollars in mineral wealth. Iron, copper, gold, cobalt and LITHIUM. Wait until the Energizer bunny hears about all the lithium they have in Afghanistan. And you know that dude doesn’t stop beating his war drum for nothing.
He just keeps going, and going, and going…
The Gulf of Mexico? That shit will be clean enough to drink from in a few years and life will return to that region.
Afghanistan? Not so much.
Dallas,
You already know this country doesn’t drop half a million dollar bombs on thirty dollar Fred Flinstone cribs for nada. Just like we don’t keep it popping in the Congo for those Coltan reserves.
Good luck to the US military when they try to capitalise on that mineral wealth. Research how long the Soviets were over there, and they knew about the goods back then, too, if I understand correctly. Afghanis ran ’em right outta there. Someone will begin to question the human cost, too late.
