Ted Rall reports from YaHooNews:
NEW YORK--So where's the pipeline?Ted gets into a lot of the background details, many of which I had not yet found, but he also misses some very important ones and especially their timing and parallels to Iraq. I'll have much more on this later.In 2001 common sense, expert opinion and extensive research convinced me and other Central Asia watchers that the United States didn't have much interest in saving Buddha statues or Afghan women when it went to war against the Taliban. After we turned down their offer to extradite Osama, it became obvious that we weren't interested in capturing the alleged mastermind of 9/11 either. Logic and evidence indicated that the Bush Administration's focused on Afghanistan to make it secure for a pipeline to carry oil and natural gas from the landlocked Caspian Sea.
