U.S. troops may soon be used to protect the Trans-Afghan Pipeline in Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Construction on the pipeline will begin in 2010 and continue through 2015 and beyond, but only after the region is secured. Since the U.S. interfered with the original contracts awarded to the Bridas Corp (from Argentina), the Pashtun and Taliban tribal forces are not so interested in Unocal's counter-offer, which was extended by Hamid Karzai (a former Unocal consultant). This means either the U.S. will have to commit genocide to secure the area, or our troops will be sitting ducks while guarding the pipeline through each phase of its construction. Wasn't there supposed to be another reason we invaded Afghanistan?

Unocal proposed building the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline to congress in 1998 to provide oil and natural gas to several Asian markets. Regardless of their stated intentions, they had to pull the ruling Taliban away from agreements they had with the Bridas Corp to convince them to sign on with Unocal instead (which eventually got backing from the US government). Enter Iran as the new kid on the block. They offered a pipeline to cross the southern part of Pakistan which would cover less harsh territory and cause far fewer tribal disputes over pumping oil and gas to India and Pakistan. Do you see a potential conflict here?

  And , in maintaining consistency with what I do today, if I saw others being lynched, I would do what I could to ensure they got a fair trial and any punishment fit the crime first. That is another part of why our Bill of Rights and Constitution is so important. They worked all this stuff out in the presence of contemporaries instead of having death and Doberman eggs shoved down their throats amid shreaks of sadist laughter from minions of queen lizard and the rest of the genetic slag royal wankers, like Obummer, the Bush cabal, lying Hillary and the rest of those molesters and trolls, including the mewling, prancing congress. They get a 9% approval rate and their response is to declare Martial law. Well I have a few declarations of my own, of the people by the people, and for the people, which blows today's congress and Obummer straight to hell without me firing a shot. Graft and vice get you 8 miles high, only for awhile. It is the only life they have ever known.

There are many conflicting reports concerning Libya's self sufficiency. I was under the impression that Gaddafi had balanced the budget, was in the process of (or had already done so) creating their own commodity based currency and the infrastructure was equal, if not greater than, many first world nations.

Venezuela is a tricky situation. I believe the proximity to the U.S.A. and the backing of Russia is a main factor as to why the US "officially" ignores Venezuela. Much like the condemnation of human rights abuses around the world while committing similar, if not worse one within our own borders.

It is the epitome of hypocrisy...in the same vein as yelling and screaming about Iran gaining nukes while a nation that we have been at war with, albeit under a cease fire, for decades has officially stated that they have nukes (N.Korea) and we do nothing.

I  agree  mirablu dictu --however I thought the  IMF  hand  gone into Libya c 2006 and Libya  was  getting  less self  sufficient but  I  have not  worked that up.  Had  you said  Bosnia I would  have agreed --oops  we did  that one (good   guy  bad guy does not figure in this) I had thought  that  directly or indirectly   Egypt  Libya  and  Syria  were  dominated by  globalist  control  --Iran is  a  different  story and her  I had thought  Russia  would  come into play.  So I remain puzzled  Latin America  on the   other hand seems to  be  following  your  scenario   I do  not  have the  competence  to make  sense of it--but  don't  count out Venezuela

  If somebody was lynching me, I would then accept Stalin's help until he fell asleep. then I would run as fast as only a cat or rabbit could.

From my understanding, most of the African nations are already under some from of globalist control via the IMF and other regulations that starve their economies, people and resources. Those that rise up and become self sufficient (Libya comes to mind) are destabilized through clandestine measures such as happened with the Arab Spring uprisings. Puppet dictators are put in place until they run afoul of their globalist masters.

In the case of Syria, Assad appears not to be in the pockets of the globalist and the propaganda machine is ramped up while so-called rebels are put in place to sow discord and incite violence. The MSM run stories demonizing the ruling regimes while candy coating the atrocities committed by so-called freedom fighters.

It is a global chess board and the nations that refuse to be a part of this New World Order fall like dominoes and the corporatist move in to take over all industry in said nation.

I do not know if Syria will be attacked by NATO forces overtly but I have a strong feeling that the legitimate government of that country will be replaced in the near future. Quite possibly, the only thing that has prevented this from occurring is the fact that Russia has deep financial and strategic ties with Syria.
