US finds vast Afghan mineral riches

from Al Jazeera. If this is true, and I have little doubt that it is, then it likely means that the Empire will never leave the country. But listen to the Empire's Afghan puppets enthuse:
Waheed Omar, Karzai's spokesman, said at a news conference on Monday... "I think it's very, very big news for the people of Afghanistan and that we hope will bring the Afghan people together for a cause that will benefit everyone," he said.

"This is an economic interest that will benefit all Afghans and will benefit Afghanistan in the long run
."
This would be laughable, if it wasn't so tragic. Maybe ordinary Afghans will have other ideas.
