It is about oil.

• Unocal wanted to build a 1,000 mile long pipeline from the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea
• All of the leading Taliban officials were in Texas negotiating with UNOCAL in 1998
• Negotiations were quickly broken off and the contract was awarded to an Argentinian company to build the pipeline by the Taliban
• The Taliban are determined to be 'evil' in 1999 at Congressional hearings
• Post 9/11 we invade Afghanistan, though all of the terrorists hail from Saudi Arabia
• Hamid Karzai is installed as the new leader of Afghanisitan. Karzai is a former employee of Unocal
• The US announced Jan 31, 2002 we will support the construction of the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline

So my question to you, my friends, is what would it take for the American public to realize what is really going on? What needs to happen to make sure the Bush family and those like it are not in a position to use the White House for their personal financial gain?

By the way, my wish isn't for this blog to become all about politics, my primary area of expertise is in technology, music and the web. However, I have some strong feelings about what is being done in our name as Americans. As someone with friends in other countries I hope they know that Bush doesn't speak for me or nearly anyone I know. He is a man with a private agenda and the means to carry out whatever he (or his family) wishes it appears. So much for power to the people.

Thanks to Maltesh's Avatars for the Taliban/Unocal timeline.
