They can't simply just take foreign land right?

What a bizarre quote:

"An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the ?Saudi Arabia of lithium,? a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys."

How weird to quote one specific brand of mobile phone like that. It's like finding a new source of rubber and saying "a great source of rubber, used to make tires for trucks and chevrolets".

Haha we gonna go der skeeter and take dem riches.. Grab my ol tick hound blue and me ol shotgun be der soon :)

LOL when I read this all I could think about was Daffy Duck "I'm rich!!! I'm rich!! I'm a happy miser" and "Consequences shonsequences - as long as I'm rich" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

wonder how long we're going to be there now?
Along with convoy escorts, now we can do some Force Pro when the mining equipmnet shows up.
Or...
Possible contact who will mine that area and get a phat contract for protecting their operation... hmmmmm....


I smell money to be made here for private security contract.
