V Iraku treba zotrvať

Blíži sa termín odovzdania moci Američanmi do rúk Iračanov a medzičasom sa aj my pýtame, či majú naši chlapci zotrvať v Iraku. Argumentácia proti sa opiera o to, že zbrane hromadného ničenia sa nenašli. Navyše, objavili sa ohavné zábery mučenia irackých väzňov americkými vojakmi, publikované zlyhania americkej administratívy a iné škandály...

Chcete odkazy na podrobnosti o vycviku KLA teroristov v Britanii? Chcete vediet o islamskych linkach? Viac o tych spinavostiach? Hladajte a netvarte sa stale akoze udiveny. Nemam cas si viest podrobnu databazu vsetkeho, co sa naozaj sustne vo svete ale bolo by mi nepredstavitelne, aby so zil v takej bohorovnej lzi ako to niektori dokazu. A este s usmevom na perach. Preto mozem objasnit iba nieco a postupne.
Dnes vas mozem poinformovat o Bosne. Je tam ropa!!!?:
Oil Discovered in Bosnia: Find Hushed Up for Years, Official Says
Four years ago, the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences described Azerbaijan as ".the focal point of the next round in the Great Game of Nations, a dangerous, hot-headed place with a Klondike of wealth beneath it. It is Bosnia with oil."
What then, we might ask, would actually constitute a "Bosnia with oil?" We will soon find out.
Macedonia's A-1 TV reported yesterday that two major oil deposits have been discovered in Bosnia. While oil exploration there dates back over one hundred years, little results have emerged until now. The Balkan wars of the 1990's put a temporary halt to modern efforts, many say.
However, a veteran Bosnian oilman has told Bosnian daily 'Nezavisne Novine' that officials first knew they had a significant find before Bosnia's independence war, but were told to keep quiet about it.
".The foreign consultants back in 1991 advised us to not say anything in public yet and that we should wait for a better time," said Brod Refinery's Mika Sukurma. "But for that 'better time' we had to wait almost 13 years."
According to 'Nezavisne Novine,' the oil discovered is of a "very good quality." Officials believe that it amounts to 50 million tons near Tuzla and 500 million tons near Samac. According to A-1, this total would serve to supply the country for the next 10 years. Bosnian officials believe that from the Samac hoard alone $300 million of profit can be made annually. But they have yet to equate how much excavation and infrastructure costs will cut into profits.
Interestingly enough, the US oil giant Amoco (now part of BP) has been on the job for the past 12 years. Since then, it has been cooperating with the one of the biggest Bosnian corporations, Energoinvest.
Tuzla was also conveniently located in the SFOR American sector, and served as a key logistics area for the covert importation of Iranian and Saudi mujahedin by the US during the 1990's. The area was home for the Bosnian Army's "9th Muslim Brigade," composed of local and foreign religious warriors used against the Serbs (as well as for a time a rival Muslim militia). Tuzla is also located in the east of Bosnia, near where the RS border dips down alongside Serbia proper. This border area was one of the most strategic locations on the whole Balkan war chessboard.
As for Bozanski Samac, this important inland port of the River Sava is located in the north of Bosnia, within the Republika Srpska and just south of the Croatian border. In 2002, the EU financed a 17.5 million euro bridge reconstruction near the town, to connect with Croatia's Slavonski Samac on the other side. The area is located on the important ".road/rail axis E-73 (M17)" which connects Sarajevo and Budapest.
All things considered, it should come as no surprise to learn that the Bosnian state ".for now can't finance the project and so they may give concessions" to Amoco for developing the country's energy riches.
Oil exploration in Bosnia is said to date back to 1890 by 'Nezavisne Novine.' Disrupted by WWII, it continued under Tito but without success. From 1964-73, leading Yugoslav energy company INA tried its hand at unearthing Bosnia's oil riches, thereafter passing over the task to the Brod Refinery, which continued until 1984. That year marked the beginning of the first "serious investigations," with the creation of a special company within Brod Refinery tasked with searching in two areas of the republic, north Bosnia (now Republika Srpska) and Dinaridi. Bosanski Brod is located not far to the west of Bosanski Sabac, also along the river and again with a Croatian counterpart having the same name. ('Brod' in Serbo-Croatian means 'boat').
Back in 1995, when the Balkan wars were nearing conclusion, keen observers noted one of the reasons for America's pro-Croatian strategy. At the time, Michel Chossudovsky wrote that ".Chicago-based Amoco was among several foreign firms that subsequently initiated exploratory surveys in Bosnia. The West is anxious to develop these regions." Further, he reported that there were "substantial petroleum fields" in the then-Serb held territories ".just across the Sava River from the Tuzla region." The area would be incorporated into Croatia subsequently. Croatia's state-owned oil and gas corporation, INA, was finally privatized in August 2003, though not to an American company.
While Croatia has been pacified and is well on the way to fully embracing Western consumerism, economically sluggish Bosnia's future is still an open question. Whether or not this multi-ethnic experiment- a miniature Yugoslavia created paradoxically out of a denial that the same values could ever have held together the former state- can survive is an open question. Thanks to Clinton's organized mujahedin summer camps, it remains a potential breeding ground for terrorists even today.

It's hard to imagine that the "new" oil discoveries will lessen the country's factional discord, though. Now we do have yet another reason, however, for the Americans' never-ending bullying of the Bosnian Serbs over compliance with the kangaroo court at the Hague.
