So two US-based banks might consider financing this? That's the almighty neo-con plot in full swing?
You''re barely out the gate and falling over.
So first you were saying it basically didn't exist and the US was completely uninterested, to your now current complaint that there are not enough suckers willing to gamble on US projects anymore.
There are more banks but ever sense it has become obvious the US has lost the war there are far less than there was in the beginning as over the years more and more have dropped out realizing the war is a complete failure = no pipeline.
Now days the US has had to get on her hands and knees in a desperate attempt to try and secure the TAPI pipeline to at least have accomplished something in this disaster.
Anyway, before I begin with another bombardment of links to prove that US officials have repeatedly said that the TAPI pipeline is of US interest with links that verify that the US believes the TAPI pipeline will benefit the US geo-political strategy, I want to make sure I understand your position clearly.
Your position is that from the very start of the war the TAPI pipeline has been of no interest to the US because it does not benefit the US geo-political goals and therefore was not an issue that has ever been considered when the US was deciding on weather to invade after being turned down by the UN security Council for lack of evidence? (the same evidence other nations had asked for)
Therefore you believe that the US never planned before 9/11 to invaded Afghanistan and only invaded Afghanistan for the sole purpose of trying to apprehend one man because there was no other way to get him, (like is done with other international criminals), without a full-scale invasion that has left the US there ever sense while insisting the Taliban are not our enemy.
(Note: Governments have extradition hearings where they review the evidence before extraditing someone to another country. How is their fault for believing Powell when he said he was going to present evidence to the Taliban and the UN but never did.)
So the US has been crippled, disgraced, and stuck in Afghanistan for 11 years not because of an unsuccessful strategically worthwhile plan that would have benefited the US geo-political goals in the global energy war but instead the US has been stuck in Afghanistan for 11 years where it has been brought to its knees because the US could not figure out how to make an arrest?
