text: was the afghanistan war fought for china's oil security? is that why china has underwritten (aka paid) for the war by issuing debt? a cash account the chinese amassed by way of walmart outsourcing us manufacturing jobs... so could it also be said that walmart and others like them are really behind / the ultimate beneficiaries of the war against the "taliban?" unocal is building a 1500 mile pileline to the gulf in order to load chinese ships with caspian and kazakhi oil and gas... no.  but sounds like you might enjoy the movie "syriana".
