Could this have anything to do with Trump's desire to stay?

1. Well, he wanted to plunder Iraq's oil, remember?

So exploiting Afghanistan's resources would be right in line with that.

6. Lanthanium, atomic number 57, cerium number 58 and neodymium, number 60

These are needed in computers and stuff I don't even know about.

8. And Donny Trump

who stares at a solar eclipse, probably puts those rare earth metals in his breakfast cereal.

2. Oh please, say it "ain't" so....... We are bringing enlightment,

democracy, education, health care, women's rights, come on. We all know the drill. All our intentions are nothing but altruistic. Get with the program.....

3. Trump DID say we want to make more money in Afghanistan

We have to stay to keep Afghanistan from being a safe harbor for Jihadists. But in his speech he did say we need to steal more of their stuff as compensation for the cost of blowing up their stuff.

4. Follow the money

Heroin, MIC and rare earth metals

5. That, or the natural gas pipeline

Note: He mentioned India and how they needed to step up in his speech, and India stands to be the biggest beneficiary of the The Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India Pipeline (TAPI).
