This sounds as if it could really turn out to be something. Maybe all of those mountains are good for something after all.

Too bad they're land-locked. But, on a lighter note, imagine bin Laden sitting in a cave with diamond crusted gold teeth...

When I read this, I thought, here we go! Now, the real reason we're there. Bush was in bed with the middle east for the oil and Obama's entertaining a liazon with the Afgans for their minerals. WTF!
What's geoloists doing in the middle of a war zone?
I'm not, particularly, a potitico, so I guess, I just don't get it!
Happy Motoring!

Hell, all the caves and tunnels are already dug. Just gotta go in and get the minerals.
