The war on terror can never be won, because it has no target. It is just a word and can therefore be manipulated by anyone for their own needs. The only "winner" from a war on terror is those that profit from war...that is my opinion. |

how funny that your ever-so-predictable response is hostility I feel real sympathy for you because all those years of being in the military have probably taught you that hostility is the best form of defense. However it is you who are wrong. Dismissed or not you won't bully me
It is you who looks like the fool. :thumbsup:1orglaugh |

The press is actually discounting the pipeline "theory":
http://www.slate.com/?id=2059487 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1626889.stm The actual plans for the pipeline, 2002: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/1984459.stm |
That must be one helluva pipeline to take this long to build. The trans-Alaska only took about 3 1/2 years.

what are they arguing? That a pipeline will not be built? That the US wouldn't be interested? A pipeline will be built starting "officially" in 2010 and the US is backing it... http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...0619/undefined |
Hmmmm.... If I was President, I'd go back to the old ways and arm the warlords, and let them all fight it out. Then, I'd buy the last man standing.
We'd save a lot of American lives; but, the Afgans would never know the joys of McDonalds. |
You guys are all fucking idiots.
They've been building this pipeline since the mid 1980s. Or at least talking about it. As for this pipeline, you do you know that at any given time there are dozens of pipelines being built? They are building one in Venezuela, why aren't we attacking them? We get more oil from from Venezuela than we do Afghanistan.... How would the US benefit from this magical pipeline? - Cheaper oil? Nope. A single pipeline, no matter how important, doesn't effect the price of gas. - More oil? Nope. We get most our oil from Cananda. No pipeline in Afghanistan is going to change that. - More money? Nope. We don't get any money from that. And if the bulk of the US forces three was protecting one single pipeline, don't you think the entire world would know about it? Because you can't have tens of thousands of troops guarding one pipeline and not have everyone on earth know about it. Don't be stupid. |

Venezuela is working with Russia, and as a superpower, USA are not going to start a nuclear war over Venezuela. Next question....Afghanistan is only a conduit for the pipeline. The only thing the US wants is a stable regime to control the pipeline security and the resulting flow of dollars. The oil comes through/from from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Central Asia into India. The demand will be growing for decades to come. Whatever is left of the oil resource can be sold at astronomical prices. Supply versus demand. It is clear and obvious to anyone with a grain of smarts about them that oil is running out fast. Everyone needs it. If you control it and the currency it is dealt in, you hold the power. This would be one of the biggest pipeline flows in the world, and would negate the need to rely on the Russians or Iran for oil. Independence when it comes to oil saves/makes billions of dollars. Quote:
How lucky you are to be so mercifully free from the ravages of intelligence. If you build a pipeline through to India as planned then US oil interests who control the flow of that oil stand to make billions in profits as India's demand for oil increases...really, really obvious stuff here. Quote:

You should listen to Rochard.... and stop reading Internet crap. Just to point out one factor.. Top U.S. Crude Oil Supplier -- Canada - 1,956,000 barrels/day Top U.S. Total Petroleum Supplier -- Canada - 2,493,000 barrels/day |
fyi, the trans-afghan pipeline is for natural gas, not oil.

You guys are fucking hilarious

King, why do you think there is conflict there? THERE WAS NO CONFLICT until western forces invaded. A pipeline there is no different than a pipeline in Iraq. Sure, easy targets, but that is why you have PMC's and the US Military, to protect them. Both are protecting oil fields in Iraq, when the pipeline is complete, they will be protecting that too.

Just because such an operation is beyond your military pay grade, that doesn't mean it's not real. I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm just being straight. There are a lot of things happening in both of these two countries neither you nor I know about. |
Quote:
You are talking to people who know, who have no reason to tell you about their job there. I, on the other hand, have been there, seen it, touched it, worked on it. At no time did I hear anyone discussing how they couldn't wait to tell their buddies in the USA, what they were up to. If you were in the military, which I believe you say you were, then you know first hand, you do what you're told and you don't ask questions. If your job is to shovel shit and ditches all day, then that is all you know during that time. If you are patrolling Kabul, I doubt you're going to have any data on a oil or gas pipeline being built in another area of the country, especially if it's an area where you have never been to and not allowed to go to. |

King, your friends we not on the moon either. Did we land there or not? |

Sadly, you're right, many don't leave. I did spend a lot of time in Fenty, though, most of my time was out surveying the land for back up routes for the pipeline, in the event it had to be moved. Spent a lot of time in Lwara too. I was there back in 2002 when those fucks fired 6 rockets into it. |

I also worked on the GAS line out of Uzbekistan and into Bagram. That is running, as is the one to Shindand. It's the oil pipe and some new gas lines that are being built. |

Three more that are currently serving in Afghanistan have responded and they...like me...are aware that there have been plans in the works to possibly build a pipeline but are not aware of any major pipeline currently under construction.

Haha, Mr Ice prob touched the Trans Afgan Pipe Line (having some repairs done on it) and thought it was some secret, gov cover up, that the U.S. is in on.
Now we have some super gas line that the U.S. Military doesn't know about, Does NOT Protect for some reason (cause it never gets attacked?), ohhhhh.... and NOBODY has a Camera. |

No conflict my ass. |

generally there is not much cross talk between KBR upperlevels and the average joe's on the ground. Usually would have to be either working in close proximity to them, or in staff meetings to be up on what they are working on.
Most guys don't know or care what KBR is up to, until they hire a bunch of ethiopians to work the dining facility and you get sick over and over from dysintary :repuke |
