All About the Oil

Few people know about a corporation called Bridas (http://www.bridascorp.com/index.html), located in Argentina, and the dealings it had with the central asian Stans for the past couple of decades. That's a shame because knowing some history of oil pipeline politics would go a long way to understanding why the US invaded Afghanistan.

When 9/11 happened it took all of 2 hours to smell something rotten. By paying close attention to the media as well as the message it looked increasingly like we as news consumers were being fed a scripted stage play. One thing was an immediate and constant chant of Osama bin Laden.

Another thing happened a day or so later. As if on cue, every speech, every news bite by every administration spokesperson included the phrase "We will punish those that did this and the countries that harbor them."
At the time, this made little sense. The offical story was 19 Arabs and hijacked planes. Countries, what countries? Little did I know about the massive preperations to invade Afghanistan that had been underway long before 9/11.
