So the correct answer is (b) and (c), not shown.

Time To Take Back America From The Democrats And The GOP
From Karl W B Schwarz

Our Constitution, our freedoms and civil liberties have all been altered because of 9-11, an investigation that has been covered up by the Bush Administration and Congress. They have even covered up the Cheney Energy Task Force, where we suspect that it was discussed that the landlocked oil deals in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan would not be landlocked much longer - as Cheney and Bush intended to take control of the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline, or TAP as it is called, with military force.

That pipeline was under contract from Turkmenistan, through Afghanistan, through Pakistan to the ocean with an Argentine oil company named Bridas Corporation and its parent Bridas S.A.P.I.C. On September 9, 2003, Bridas prevailed at the Fifth Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals on a $500 million interference of contract lawsuit. That lawsuit was then taken to the U.S. Supreme Court and on March 22, 2004 the high court refused to hear the case or consider reversing the Fifth Circuit decision. See US Supreme Court, case 03-1018, State Concern Turkmenneft v. Bridas S.A.P.I.C.,

The Bush Administration does not want any American knowing the truth about what happened in Afghanistan or that we breached a commercial contract with military force to take over a deal that was denied to US oil companies, because there was already a deal in place. Under the Clinton Administration they upended the Pakistan government to cut off that part of the Bridas Corporation deal. Under the Clinton Administration, they compelled Turkmenistan to breach its agreements with Bridas, hence the judgment award of $500 million for interference of contract.

The only remaining obstacle on 9-11 was the remaining agreement between the Taliban and Bridas Corporation.

<snip>

Both the Bush and Clinton Administrations do not want Americans to know that Bridas was interfered with in Turkmenistan and Pakistan to isolate both the Taliban and Bridas Corporation regarding the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline, a pipeline that we now control through use of military force in Afghanistan and raises serious questions about our true motives in attacking Afghanistan following 9-11.

Have we?

Because the can't finsish the job on TERRA when the troops needed in Afghanistan are in Iraq.

IRAN is between Iraq and Afghanistan.
BHN

the bush admin can refer to when asked, rarely, about the promise to get him 'Dead or Alive'.

Gotcha!

:rofl:

right-of-way we went to war for, but it's probably just coincidence that we have access to Iran's eastern border for the coming war. The heroin....just business as usual. Supplies are back to normal and then some. How else could we finance PNACs excellent adventures.
