[lbo-talk] Left Bonkerism Re: Afghanistan and Oil

[100% vagina free]

And how about the ludicrous ideas of "regime change" by cluster bombs; "exporting democracy" with a puppet "government" and military occupation; or enhancing women's rights with depleted uranium? Irresistibly funny.
LOL

  Iraq is one thing, but this idea that we invaded Afghanistan for oil and gas is completely ridiculous, on a par with the JFK stuff. What an embarrassment to be associated with people who peddle this line.

  "Indeed, it is arguable that our invasion of Iraq and our toppling of the Taliban, a government the US put in place, happened because we needed Iraq's oil reserves and the Taliban refused to cooperate with the deployment of oil and gas lines through their territory."
