February 12, 1998 John J. Maresca vp of UNOCAL oil appeared before a House sub committee.

The purpose of the meeting was to gain support for exploitation of oil & natural gas resources purchsed by BIG OIL in the Caspian Sea area. In his testimony he stated, "The key question is how the energy resources of Central Asia can be made available to nearby Asian markets ". The exploitation option stated : "One obvious route south would cross Iran, but this is foreclosed by American companies because of U.S. sanctions (with Iran ) . The only other possible route is across Afghanistan, which of course has it''s own unique challenges. "

He continued saying, " the pipeline we have proposed across Afghanistan could not begin until a recognized government is in place that has the confidence of governments,lenders (world monitary fund & world bank ) ,and our company "......

" UNOCAL and other American companies are prepared to undertake the job ".

More than a year and half before 911 the CIA Special Activities Division was conducting operations in Afghanistan, trying to topple the Taliban regime for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas Pipelines.

In 2007 Condoleeza Rice in a meeting with President Musharaf of Pakistan said the administration was not happy with the progress being made on their end of the Caspian Sea Pipeline. Unkown to the administration at the time, Musharaf was talking to Iran & India.

January 24,2008 India announced a plan for a 2,775 km Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline. Union Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said, "Iranian ambassador spoke to me tuesday and they are very keen that the project takes shape as it is in the interest of all three countries ". Times of India

This is a new twist that does not fit Cheney''s energy policy for the Caspian Sea Oil & Gas pipelines headed for Pakistan to supply Asian markets.

Will Musharaf dump the USA''s Caspian Sea Pipeline now that he has Iran on line in this new deal? Or will he take both pipelines through Pakistan for Asian markets ?

Bush Senior invaded Panama, and some think
that was the end of it. That was the training grounds for the war against poor
americans called the war on drugs.
How many Men, Women, Children, and Babies
have had their homes destroyed and Murdered
by Cops since the Panama Terrorism Training
See how easally the cops follow instructions on PERVERTED jUSTICE.
They''re like WWF George The Animal Steel.
ME WEAR MIC, ME WEAR CAMERA. WE WAVE 20
MACHINE GUN PISTOLS IN THEIR FACES whlie
screaming like Maniacs'' looking like savage
Hoggs but dummer.
Then the FBI is constantly setting up
an entrapment to lure the gullible and unwary into doing something that was their
own Idea bankroll and everyting.
Look america we caught another Terrorist!
RON PAUL is talking about getting rid of
our AMERICAN TERRORIST organizations!

They keep calling this the War On Terror. It should be the corporate war of terror and we are the terrorists by being complicit.

Time for boycotts and general strikes to bring it down!!!

No matter what Bush does or where he sends troops I''ll make sure that the younger generations always know what he did with Iraq. That he lied about WMD''s, lied about Saddam and Al Queda just to name a few, to get us into an illegal war to protect the interests of big business. I will make sure Bush''s legacy is what it should be that of a criminal at a time when Congress didn''t have the guts to do anything about it. He will go down in history as a bigger disgrace then Nixon. I hope his family is proud.

"It suggests to me that the administration is taking this much more seriously than it was." That has meant more attentiveness to the needs of U.S. commanders in Afghanistan" ------ It''s Election Time

This story is about something that "could be" instead of something that is..........

Not sure the journalism integrity in that as what "could be" is open to a lot of opinion and few facts as "facts don''t exist yet".
