It is very obvious now why the Americans wanted to invade. They probably know about this for 10 maybe 20 years and now they have full control over these resource because they install the puppet Karzai in charge and he will let USA steal this wealth that belongs to Afhgani people.

Hey Matt,

Did you know that the govt offered to turn "those bad people" over if they were to be tried in a nuetral court. We were not out to get the "bad guys" we were mad and wanted a war. Period.  Don't you remember the rhetoric back then. They wanted war. The US was going to war whether the "UN" wanted it or not. And they also lied to go ti Iraq as well. A classic case of Imperialism. All an excuse for war-mongering.

Do you have friends in the govt? How do YOU know they did not know about the minerals?

check this out:

One retired senior U.S official is calling the government�s mineral announcement �pretty silly,� Politico is reporting. �When I was living in Kabul in the early 1970s the [U.S. government], the Russians, the World Bank, the U.N. and others were all highly focused on the wide range of Afghan mineral deposits. Cheap ways of moving the ore to ocean ports has always been the limiting factor.�

At least two American geologists have been advising the Pentagon on Afghanistan�s wealth of mineral resources for years. Bonita Chamberlin, a geologist who spent 25 years working in Afghanistan, �identified 91 minerals, metals and gems at 1,407 potential mining sites,� the Los Angeles Times reported in 2001. In 1995, she even co-wrote a book, �Gemstones in Afghanistan,� on the topic. And Chamberlin worked directly with the Pentagon, after they commissioned her to report on sandstone and limestone caves mere weeks after 9/11.

�I am quite surprised that the military is announcing this as some �new� and �surprising� discovery,� she told Danger Room in an e-mail. �This is NOT new. Perhaps this also hints at the real reason why we would be so intent on this war.�

And Jack Shroder, a geologist at the University of Nebraska, told the Associated Press in 2001 that mineral deposits in Afghanistan were so rich, they could be vital in rebuilding the country. He�s collaborated with Pentagon officials since the 1970s, when he worked on mapping the country. In 2002, Shroder was approached by several American companies who hoped to start mining the area.

It�s not clear exactly what those experts shared with military honchos, but the Pentagon�s knowledge of Afghanistan�s minerals clearly preceded the 2004 discovery of �an intriguing series of old charts and data,� as the Times reports. In 2002, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported that the U.S. Department of Interior�s Mineral Yearbook, among other atlases, noted Afghanistan�s �significant deposits of gold, precious stones and other minerals waiting to be mined.�

But whatever the U.S military knows, and no matter how long they�ve known it, Russia likely has �em beat. At a 2002 conference on rebuilding Afghanistan, reps from several countries complained that Russia continued to withhold decades-old information about mineral deposits in the country.

This could make or break Afghanistan.  Sadly their independence is as stake. Greed knows no bounds.

Matt Browne wrote: The Americans didn't know about the minerals. The UN authorized force because the Taliban did not hand over the criminals responsible for murdering 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Cheap anti-American polemics won't accomplish anything. Sorry to be so blunt, but it doesn't make these kind of Muslims look very smart.

So what has been accomplished so far just fill in the blank...............................................................................Who says Muslims are smart...They used to submit to God and now you have their submission except some? This is going on for four score years...today the Gitmos are full just tell us , how many have been tried in the court of some sort of laws?

BTW you are smarty pants pray tel what knocked the Building # 7 down like a stack of pancakes? If you are clueless than click on...and then respond!

Some Professional Engineers have looked into this and dots don't connect to who killed 3000 people!
