Afghanistan: Unified Friendly Government Required? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Afghanistan: Unified Friendly Government Required?



Who will unravel twisted paths
on road to war what really
prompted invasion Afghanistan?

Let us review sly oiled palms crossed
on fascinating road to Afghani invasion?
Who are the players what plot timeline?

Oil Date 1991-1997
fat honey bee major U.S. oil companies
BP Amoco, Enron, ExxonMobil, Shell,
Texaco, Unocal and other players directly
invest billions cash bribing heads of state
in Kazakhstan to secure their equity rights...

what is up for steak prime cuts on table?
huge oil reserves in these regions sly oil
companies commit to direct investments
in Kazakhstan $35 billion more pending
but are not willing to pay exorbitant prices...

why pay Russia to use Russian pipelines?
major oil companies need control options
have no way to recoup their investments?

Oil Date December 4,1997
invited guests representatives of friendly
Taliban arrive at Texas Unocal headquarters
to negotiate pipeline support subsequent
reports indicate negotiation failure allegedly
greedy Taliban wanted too much money...

Oil Date December 4,1997 February 12,1998
later rising star to become favoured status
a shiny Special Ambassador to Afghanistan
Unocal Vice President John J. Maresca testifies
before House International Relations Committee
a single unified friendly government is required...

in place in Afghanistan before a trans-Afghani
pipeline tall order needed to monetize oil can
be built to liberate site vast Afghani oil reserves?

See No Evil Tell No Lies in 1998 the CIA ignores
warnings from Case Officer Robert Baer that Saudi
Arabia is harboring an al-Q'aeda cell led by known
terrorists two next a detailed list of known terrorists
August 2001 offered to Saudi intelligence is refused...

Oil Date April 1999
Enron is in a bind with a $3 billion investment
to build an electrical generating plant at Dabhol
India because Enron loses access to the plentiful
LNG supplies from Qatar to fuel electrical plant
remaining options to make investment profitable...

Unocal must build a trans-Afghani gas pipeline
from Turkmenistan terminating near the Indian
border at the city of Multan to save outlay Enron?
