Here's EXACTLY what Obama will do.
He will invest hundreds of millions of American dollars into building the infrastructure necessary to extract said minerals, then he will summarily turn it over to the Afghans without so much as a plan for us to be repaid what is owed us.

What is owed us? By who? We invaded Afgahnistan to capture or kill Ossama and failed.
Afgahnistan did not make any act of war against us. A few rag tag terrorists were holed up out in the Afgahni wilderness. Afgahnistans army, if you can say they even had an army, was in no position to do anything about Ossama.
You are certifiably insane.

Actually the leader of the Afghan government, Mullah Omar, was allied with Osama bin Laden. That fact makes the attacks on 9/11 an attack facilitated by the Afghan government regardless if they knew the plan was afoot.

That statement requires proof. I don't recall any resistance invading Afgahnistan by the government there. If Omar was an "Ally" of Ossama why was there no official government fighting to protect him? I believe you just made that up.
Regarding Bin Laden’s sworn fealty to Mullah Omar. He made this pledge when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan. When Bin Ladin accepted Mullah Omar as his Amir, Mullah Omar became the spiritual leader of Al Qaeda. Bin Laden is still the political leader of the organization but as the spiritual leader Mullah Omar has authority over Bin Laden
Former Taliban official, Waheed Mujda talks about Al Qaeda | Kabul Center for Strategic StudiesYou could see this was so when, before 9/11, Mullah Omar told Bin Laden he had to stop speaking to the media. Because Bin Laden had sworn to obey Omar, that’s exactly what he had to do.
If Omar was an "Ally" of Ossama why was there no official government fighting to protect him?
with that said, this is going to turn out bad and lead to decades of corruption. the taliban and other militant groups will control actual access to the resources, enslave locals to gather it, and then sell it to multinational companies who will turn a blind eye to whats happening as long as they get their profit. it will be the next blood diamonds

And they shall call them... BLOODBERRYS.
Speaking seriously, as blu said, this is pretty terrible for Afghans. I mean, it could be good considering what a horrible state they're in right now, but you know what's the other place with huge lithium and mineral deposits?
That's right... THE CONGO, one of the bottom 10 shittiest places on Earth. Enormous mineral riches have been anathema in the Congo and much of central Africa, and this might turn out to be very similar in a place that's already as fucked up as Afghanistan.

So that's what Bush was after. And I thought he was dumb. Silly me.

This is priceless...ha ha ha.
How do you suppose Bush knew those deposits were there since they were only just recently discovered?
