We are fighting a war on terror. Don't turn this into a political argument or bring up conspiracy theories. This is a forum dedicated to saving fuel.

A look at Daniel Yergin's book,"THE PRIZE " or Chalmers Johnson's "BLOWBACK" would be insightful.Or you can talk to retired CIA Ray McGovern.
I'm a combat veteran and it's important to take a deep look at geopolitics and it's ramifications to US 'lifestyles.' Ask your commander about oil pipelines in Afghanistan and it's strategic location with respect to proven oil reserves.
I've been trying to get the US off foreign oil since 1974.It IS about fuel economy.40-years later.
