Karzai: Japan gets priority in Afghan mining - Afghanistan- msnbc.com

Karzai said the leg up in mineral exploration would be granted in return for the aid Japan has given his nation.

"Morally, Afghanistan should give access as a priority to those countries that have helped Afghanistan massively in the past few years," he said, noting Japan has been his country's No. 2 aid donor.

what a fucking slap in the face

What part of they hate us haven't you understood?

 

[uscitizen]

You expect the Afghani people to love us?

They do have a demoncratically elected government now don't they?

Yeah it is aggravating when they do things we don't want them to....

The Japanese need the minerals for their plans for Gundam:

I say let them have it if it brings us Mecha's!

Hell ya---let em start right now and I wish em the best of luck. I'm sure it's safe to begin.

People working a mine make good targets.

I figure an American could get a job there if they had the skills and wanted to be a target.

We need Japan to build Mecha's dammit!

Who will protect us from the Nazi Mecha's then?

I'm for it--The Taliban may just lay down their weapons and help out. It would be way funner to make Mechas than hide in caves

"We've shot an amazing number of people and killed a number and to my knowledge, none has proven to have been a real threat to the force...

"To my knowledge, in the nine-plus months I've been here, not a single case where we have engaged in an escalation of force incident and hurt someone has it turned out that the vehicle had a suicide bomb or weapons in it and, in many cases, had families in it."

That was General Stanley McChrystal's acknowledgment that US forces have killed civilians who meant them no harm.

Why should any US citizen, individual or corporate, profit from the mass murder of Afghan civilians?
