The big news today is that the Army, doing it's usual mineral prospecting, found a trillion dollars plus worth of minerals.

They just made the discovery!!. Amazing. Who knew the army was involved in prospecting? Tomorrow, we'll discover that the army has also discovered three major league baseball players, two quarterbacks and a seven foot eight basketball player too. More natural resources.

Of course, Japan will sign the baseball players and China is already on track to dig up those minerals. That's the way the geniuses in the White House-- Democrat and Republican-- do things-- spend a trillion to secure a country then hand the stabilized country's resources (okay, somewhat stabilized at best) over to China or Russia or Europe.

Bottom line though is that the noise is rising in the US calling for Obama to get the hell out of Afghanistan. Or is it get out of the hell Afghanistan. What the hell, why not both!?

I have serious doubts... no, I have total doubt and don't believe that the army just magically discovered a trillion in mineral assets in Afghanistan.

Some one is lying to truss up support for Obama's Afghan disaster. Some media are helping sell the lie. What a surprise.


Next week, they'll announce that they suddenly discovered a full sized replica of the Brooklyn bridge...or another Noah's Ark (there's supposed to be one in eastern Turkey) and there will be media outlets that unquestioningly report it as fact.

What do you think?
