        The US will stay in Afghanistan for as long as the bloodthirsty war hawks of DC think they can keep exploiting it.

        It is NOT a war, it was and still is an invasion of a foreign country to reward the appetite of unscrupulous and deceiving politicians, and war hawks who will always benefit from their convenient "patriotic decisions".

        Afghanistan has always been a story of woes for many world powers in the recent past ask the British, The French , The Russian and now the American governments. Frustrated to a point where a general is calling for the end of American presence there. Saddened.

        Yup! Creating the basis for instilling fear so that freedom as we know it is lost. We now spend at least 20% of business time going through security checks. Control through fear! We know why you are there!

        Warum könnte es wohl sein? Alle NATO Soldaten wo in Afghanistan stationiert sind, sind nur aus einem Grund dort. Weil Öl Kartelle es wollen. Man möchte Öl Transport nach China verhindern.
