Well a day or two after writing the original post below, I was scouring the news sites and ran across this article from wired.com explaining how the US government was well aware of those natural resources in a 2007 report that was done by the Navy and Geological survey team. I am pretty sure they knew long before that report was generated back in 07' of all the goodies that Afghanistan has to offer. Read the article from wired.com
MY EARLIER POST:
American geologist have just discovered large deposits of gold, iron, copper, cobalt and other key industry metals like lithium within Afghanistan borders. Currently it has been valued at more than 1 trillion US dollars.
I am pretty sure that Russians were well aware of these rich mine deposits prior to their war with the region back in the 1970's but were to bogged down in guerilla fighting to start mining.
News like this is just going to add fuel to the fire on the true reasons why we are over there. To think, everyone thought it was just the poppy fields.
