    Osama Bin Laden, world's best hide and seek player from 2001-2011.
    I think maddie mccann has this title now.

    so tell me, did Bin Laden and the US make some sort of agreement to say we'll stop chasing you if you play dead?

    somehow i think not, and somehow i think the Taliban would have more to say than that and the pakistanis would have uncovered it by now and not gone to the trouble of demolishing bin ladens house and deporting his family.

    ^most of what you hear in the news is propaganda bull ****.
    The US government is losing money but the powerful lobying arms manufacturers are making more money than ever through these wars.
    Afghanistan is strategically important because of its proximity to Russia, China, Iran and Pakistan. No oil in Afghanistan but lots of oil and gas pipelines coming from Kazakistan and other countries go through Afghanistan.

    Doesn't stop the fact that with the recession and the on going war in Afghanistan, the US is losing lot's more money then they are making. We're talking billions if not trillions here. As for strategic importance, America have military bases all over the world. It's not really a matter of strategic importance, it's a matter of maintaining a presence and security. Who else is going to pick up the pieces if the US was to leave tomorrow? Afghanistan? They're still trying to shape themselves. As I said, right now the US is in a transition period, their forces will most likely be gone from Afghanistan in a few years depending on politics. As for the oil thing. The oil that Afghanistan would get, most likely goes to Afghanistan itself, not the US. US buys from Canada and Mexico. Unless you're implying that the US is stealing oil, in which case they would be breaching international protocol and be controversial, and I don't think they'd want that.
    You are very gullible if you continue believing what the US/western media feeds you. There's a lot more going on than just "securing our borders".

    Once again we come back to this word "gullible". Here's the thing. I don't just believe US/Western media. I only watch the news for need to know basis and keep track of current events, but I look into things from other perspectives as well. If you're implying that I don't question what i'm being told in the media myself, then you're wrong. There have been many things that I do question. However at the same time, a lot of the things that have been mentioned on here, like 9/11 and Bin Laden's death I do believe are true. I don't believe there is some conspiracy behind any of them, this isn't because I believe what the US said, this is because i've judged both sides and I have made my opinion on them. All this talk that 9/11 was an inside job, and Bin Laden's death was just a publicity stunt are far reaching to me and outlandish. There is no reason not to believe them except for what a few people my have you think. But again, most of what has been said on here is not fact, just speculation which can't be taking as a credible source.
