You're right Rocketman - 10 yrs of fighting & what has really been accomplished. Billions of wasted dollars & thousands of shattered lifes - we will never change their culture or mindset or stop the roadside bombs etc - or even conrtrol the oil situation.

Just think how easy it would have been to spend $6-7 Billion/commercial CTLF plant & employ 4,000 families/plant at the same time. Shame the U.S. has no intention of becoming energy independent. Remember how Obama & Hiliary Clinton endorsed CTLF before they were elected? What happened to all that political rhetoric?
