How is this good news? And for whom? If you think there were problems with tribal warfare in afghanistan before this announcement....well....just wait.
I'm highly confident in my prediction this will be used to justify sending in more US troops.
It's good news for us. If we act accordingly, this could help us get out of there. As for tribal warfare, that's going to be a problem no matter what happens. I mean, we really can't change thousands of years of Afghans being Afghans. That being said, as was my experience, the tribes will jockey for position on this and we can use it as a carrot and stick to keep them in line.
I suppose we'll see if this results in more troops or not. I think the biggest find was in Ghazni, and we've already got plenty of troops there.
Thank you.
Mining would produce thousands of well-paying jobs in Afghanistan and lead to a stable econmomy.
It would be like West Virginia.
