Re: dubya and the taliban?

My mistake, yep he was Governor (doh!). I c where you're coming from. Reports I heard was he met on numerous occasions with representatives of the Taliban. Under what role he was acting though, I've no idea. Also, that the meetings were to do with oil rights issues. Whose oil and whose rights though I have no idea.

Think yr more than likely right in your analysis. But another thought occurs to me. Considering the vast reserves that have been found in the neighbouring countries of Afghanistan, wouldn't ownership/stewardship of Afghanistan to 'keep-an-eye-on' these relatively new oil states seem like a good plan. A bit like the role that Israel plays for the US in the middle east. Or am I just going oil conspiracy mad ?
