" The "The Clinton administration has dealt with Afghanistan in a manner similar political Although Afghanistan is a transit country to the sources of oil and is not an essential source." He said: We've dealt with the countries of East Asia that takes the oil, just as we dealt with the policy of Iran from Eisenhower to Carter, and let Do not forget the plan the rush to Libya and that means that the United States confront dental European to make additional concessions. " He added it was ironic after years of occupation that China is the country that lie ahead in Iraq, as we seem to have opened the market to find ourselves outside the circle of competition.
