Did you know

[shantikam hazarika]

I got this in my mail last night. Is it true?

 

Did you know that:

q USA supported Bin Laden and the Taliban for years, and viewed them as freedom fighters against the Russians?

q As late as 1998, the US was paying the salary of every single Taliban official in Afghanistan?

q There is more oil and gas in the Caspian Sea, but you need a pipeline through Afghanistan to get that out?

q UNOCAL, a giant oil conglomerate, wanted to build a 1000 mile pipeline from the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea?

q UNOCAL spend $ 10,000,000,000 on geological studies for the pipeline construction, and courted the Taliban for their support in allowing the construction to begin?

q All leading Taliban officials were in Texas negotiating with UNOCAL in 1998?

q In 1999, Taliban changed its mind and threw UNOCAL out of the country and awarded the pipeline project to a company in Argentina?

q John Maresca, VP of UNOCAL testified before Congress and said no pipeline should be set until the Taliban was gone and a more friendly government was established?

q After 1999, the Taliban became the most evil people in the world

q In 2001, Bush declares war against Afghanistan, though not a single Afghani was involved in the plan hijacking?

q Bush blamed Bin Laden, but did not offer any proof, saying it was confidential?

q Talibans offered to hand over Bin Laden if there was proof, but Bush bombed Afghanistan instead?

q We now have a new government in Afghanistan, which is friendlier?

q That the leader of the new government is one gentleman called Hamid Karzai, who formerly worked for UNOCAL?

q Bush appoints a special envoy (Lakhdar Ibrahimi) to represent the US to deal with the new government. This special envoy was formerly chief consultant to UNOCAL?

q The US government quietly announces in January 2002 that it will support the Trans-Afghan pipeline construction?

q President Musharraf and Hamid Karzai announce agreement in February 2002 to build proposed gas pipeline from Central Asia to Pakistan through Afghanistan?

q And you thought we were fighting terrorism here, didn't you?

q It is all about OIL................

 

Scary is not it?
