The money I've made investing has primarily been made in start ups. Some have been researching new start mines of rees. So I've been researching to see who the companies are that are starting the new mines in Afghanistan hoping to buy shares in a new gold,  lithium, berylium, and/or silver mines at a really  low cost as I've done in the past which works out well because when you hold onto them, you end up getting a lot of return on your fairly cheap investment. While doing this, I may have inadvertantly discovered why the Republicans want to keep the war in Afghanistan going. Why they aren't happy about the agreement and why their cohorts may hire mercenaries to start trouble up in order to stop progress. It is the oil and natural gas resources that Afghanistan has and who the Afghan ministry gave the contract to in order to develop; drill; refine; and distribute their petroleum assets. They awarded it to none other than - China National Petroleum Corp. You  know the Republicans aren't happy about this. To make matters even worse, the group that got awarded the right to oversee the development of all Afghanistan's rees was China Metallurgical Group. Now this doesn't mean that they will be running all the mines because China has a similiar company doing the same thing in Mongolia and they are just overseeing the mines and contracts. They aren't doing the mining. There are numerous multi-national companies in Mongolia working operating mines and assessing potential sites getting ready to start production at sites. So you know the Republicans have to be seething, chomping at the bit that China has been awarded these contracts giving them so much influence and power in Afghanistan. But America blew their chance some 80 years ago when Afghanistan opened its doors to us. They invited America to come and mine their mines and develop their petroleum fields but we refused. Had we not done that in the 1930s, how different would Afghanistan have been by the late 1960s when Russia began their incursion into Afghanistan? Would that have even happened? And definitely how different would Afghanistan had been towards the likes of the Taliban and bin-Laden with his band of al-Queda? Only if we could go back and relive history we just might not have to come forward in 2001 and fight a war and loose so many good Americans and get into such deep debt.

Obama must be getting enough cocaine and liquor so he's happy.

We're on the right track? With a leader whose government is built upon corruption, nepotism, election fraud, and drug money? Atta boy, Barry Soetoro. More evidence you don't have a clue what you're doing.
