Pentagon report in April never mentioned $1 trillion in Afghan wealth

Original goal of Pentagon task force that performed Afghan minerals survey was to get “contracts going between US firms and Iraqi firms”

A RAW STORY investigation has revealed that a report released by the Pentagon last April on the progress of the Afghanistan “surge” included only a single passing reference to a survey that is now being touted as having discovered mineral resources in that nation potentially worth $1 trillion.

The lack of any mention of dramatic new discoveries is likely to reinforce suspicions that there is something bogus about the claim in last Sunday’s New York Times that “the United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself.”

The only reference to minerals in April’s 152-page Pentagon report occurs in a section of just two paragraphs devoted to the Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO), whose survey last fall supposedly revealed the newly-found resources.

“During a 12-week assessment,” the report states, “over 50 members of TFBSO teams conducted more than 60 individual site visits throughout Afghanistan, assessing many critical sectors of the Afghan economy. Four strategic observations were made during the 12-week assessment: Lack of economic sovereignty, lack of emphasis on rural agriculture, lack of economic benefit from international development, and lack of intra-Afghan commerce.”

“Afghanistan must develop self-sustaining, indigenous revenue sources,” the report continues. “Mining was specifically identified as a key area for economic development by the TFBSO because of its potential to attract foreign investment and generate significant government revenue. The group noted that accelerating this development will create an indigenous revenue stream for Afghanistan, and ultimately economic sovereignty.”

The relatively modest reference in the report to the possibility of “significant government revenue” contrasts strongly with the current hype over the TFBSO’s findings. For example, one ABC News story — which includes a photograph of a TFBSO geologist participating in last year’s assessment — is headlined “U.S. Geologists Discover $1 Trillion in Mineral Deposits in Afghanistan” and subheaded, “Even President Karzai Has Difficulty Imaging Afghanistan Potential Wealth.”

The story of new-found wealth has already aroused widespread skepticism, especially since a detailed US Geological Survey report on Afghanistan’s mineral resources was published as recently as 2007. Wired, for example, suggests that “the timing of the ‘discovery’ seems just a little too convenient. As Blake Hounshell at Foreign Policy notes, the Obama administration is struggling to combat the perception that the Afghan campaign has ‘made little discernible progress,’ despite thousands of additional troops and billions of extra dollars.”

What may be an even more acute observation, however, was offered by Jim Lobe at Asia Times. “The Pentagon memo may have been an effort to attract international interest in the mining sector before the auction in the next few weeks of the 1.8 billion-ton iron-ore field in Hajigak, which could be worth $5 billion to $6 billion,” Lobe writes. “Afghan and Western officials want more companies to bid for Hajigak and other deposits to prevent China from gaining control over Afghanistan’s natural resources through bids subsidized heavily by Beijing.”

It is also possible that both theories are correct, since the Pentagon’s Task Force for Business and Stability Operations has been devoted since its creation in 2006 to the dual mission of promoting local economic development to counter insurgencies while simultaneously furthering American business interests.

In December 2006, the Washington Post quoted one US official as saying of the newly-formed task force, “It’s about stimulating interest and getting contracts going between US firms and Iraqi firms. That’s the goal. The solution in Iraq is not primarily a military one. It is primarily an economic and political solution.”

“As Iraq descends further into violence and disarray, the Pentagon is turning to a weapon some believe should have been used years ago: jobs,” the Post explained. “Economic development is a departure from the military’s usual missions, but officials think the Defense Department’s heft as a consumer of goods and services can boost the effort. The department has been reaching out to U.S. companies that can place large orders for products from Iraq. Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England set the task force in motion in June after Paul A. Brinkley, deputy undersecretary of defense, returned from a visit to Iraq the month before.”

TFBSO’s mission of drawing on the free enterprise system as a component of counter-insurgency policy might seem like a quintessential Bush administration approach, but the Obama administration has embraced it just as enthusiastically. In March 2009, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates issued a memorandum continuing the Task Force and stating that its purpose was “to aid the Department’s on-going military operations and to fully leverage economic development as a strategic and operational tool.”

TFBSO continues to be headed by its founder, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Business Transformation Paul A. Brinkley, but a couple of young Obama campaign workers have been added to its leadership roster. The current deputy director is Jacquelyn Rebekka Bonner, a former Goldman Sachs vice president who worked without pay for the Obama campaign for seven months. Rudi Shenk, formerly the Obama campaign’s national outreach director, is now TFBSO’s manager of indigenous industries.

In April 2009, the German paper Der Spiegel commented on Gates extension of the TFBSO, describing it as “a part-military, part-civilian body whose value was difficult to define, an experiment that took place, not coincidentally, during the rise of General David Petraeus.”

“Brinkley and Petraeus know each other, and one can assume that they get along well,” the article continued. “It is rumored that the general made sure that Brinkley’s group would survive the transition in Washington from Bush to current President Barack Obama. Petraeus needs Brinkley, and not just in Iraq. It doesn’t take much to imagine similar task forces in Afghanistan or crisis regions in Africa, in fact, in all asymmetrical conflicts.”

That extension of TFBSO’s mission to Afghanistan — and beyond — is already under way. The website of a private contractor, Defense Group, Inc., boasts that “DGI is supporting the OSD Task Force for Business Stability Operations (TFBSO) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and DGI personnel previously supported the TFBSO in Iraq. … As U.S. policy toward Africa continues to evolve, as marked by the raising of the new US Africa Command (USAFRICOM), DGI will expand its reach into selected countries on the African continent, where its experience is both broad and deep.”

    if this was really worth something the u$ & uk would not publicize it, they would keep it a secret until they had the mineral rights and then they'd anounce it and look for partners that will bend to the u$ terms

  • crash2parties

    Gee, might those “minerals” include the vast uranium and gold deposits in Northern Afghanistan that were fairly well known at least as far back as 2005 (most recent citation I can find, didn't look to see how far back they go, but the deposits have never been a secret)? I find it hard to believe that much exploratory mining has occurred *during* the occupation, which would indicate that they may indeed be the *reason* for us being there…

  • crash2parties

    Don't worry, we have more than enough troops there to ensure that we have the mineral rights.

  • Herdersheep

    I guess it's now morally acceptable (only to Americans) to invade a country for it's resources.

  • Third_stone

    This is of course old news, and will any sale of rights survive our defeat? We are very close to the day when we will be driven from the field with our tails between our legs. Would one mention the minerals at this moment to encourage us to fight on? Who would be encouraged? At least if we were there to steal minerals it would be something we could understand. As it stands today, we are not given a believable reason to be at war there.
    Of course, if the Afghans themselves develop the copper, it will break the monopoly in copper, something our congress may well be under pressure about. Kill for Copper. At least we have an excuse.

  • Edgar Cayce

    Sources close to Blackwater and its secretive owner Erik Prince claim that the embattled head of the world’s most infamous mercenary firm is planning to move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Middle Eastern nation, a major hub for the US war industry, has no extradition treaty with the United States. In April, five of Prince’s top deputies were hit with a 15-count indictment by a federal Grand Jury on conspiracy, weapons and obstruction of justice charges.

    The Blackwater/Erik Prince saga took yet another dramatic turn last week, when Prince abruptly announced that he was putting his company up for sale. One Blackwater source told The Nation that Prince intends to sell his company quickly, saying the “sale is going to be a fast move within a couple of months.” The report of a move to Dubai makes a lot of sense in context. Prince may be trying to liquidate major holdings so he can move his money offshore, too, in advance of possible claims by victims of Blackwater violence.

    Okay, we won the lottery in Afghanistan, but remember that most lottery winners end up more miserable after winning the lottery than they were when they were dirt poor.

  • chabuka

    Why does the United States assume any resource, of any value, in any country..(except the the countries who can fight back….like Russia or China) automatically belongs to the United States and all we have to do is just take it, using force if needed, either enslaving or killing the inhabitants (in the name of freedom or “Democracy” and of course, God!)…Isn't that what England did..and the Romans..and the Nazi's…and the Vikings…etc…

  • carol h.

    The knowledge has been with Washington for a year. Now let's see. Isn't that when Obama decided to begin his own surge with an increase of men etc. And isn't he now funding this war and the other one by doing as Bush did, i.e. supplemental funding. That way we are not supposed to realize that even though it does not show on the regular budget, we are still in debt? And wasn't this how Bush financed the same way that got us so far in debt?

    And are we going to help the Afghans the same way we did Iraq? Remember when Bush and Cheney claimed that Iraqi oil would pay for the war and the rebuilding of Iraq? Remember how they dashed to the wells to keep them from blowing up, thereby leaving the borders open for the Taliban to come in? I am still waiting for Iraq to pay.

    Now that we know about the minerals and wealth just waiting to be mined, by people that have no ability to mine to get at it, are we going to help them too. Or are we helping ourselves? And could this latest idea of wealth be the thing that keeps the Taliban there? And the Afghanistan people wanting their own land for their own profit? And even if they don't have the ability to get at their own wealth, is it our business to keep the country at war so we can do it for them?

    Talk about colonial power grabs. This land is not called the “graveyard of empires,” for nothing. We need to get out of both wars. We need to mind our own business. And we need to SPEND THE TWO BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH IN THIS COUNTRY. Either that or learn to speak Chinese in order to beg forgiveness for the money we owe, or to beg them to pay off the trade deficit they owe us.

    We are heading down the road for second rate. Second rate education, second level jobs as a permanent result, second rate infrastructure of what is left, that we have not sold off to other country's already, second rate corporate government, second rate politician, and no manufacturing base left.

    With all this going on, unless we simply print more worthless money, we may just end up stealing the wealth of Afghanistan. Oops! I meant helping them while getting our soldiers killed. At the end of this tirade I think we are finally understanding why we are there. No one has had an answer for all the death and money spent. Now we know.

  • crash2parties

    Absolutely. I'm trying to find out when we discovered the Uranium deposits in Northern Afghanistan…I know the old USSR was allied with them since the early 1900's (1919?), but I wonder if the war in the 70's might have been at least partially over control of that magical element?

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/LPDG6AYIPE5GZLQCZTUVZ3XTM4 alpha

    The next press release will say that the Afghanistan will be able to repay all of the costs of prosecuting eight years of war there.

    If this sounds like deja vu all over again — it is. That is what the Bushies said about Iraq when they invaded hundreds of billions of dollars ago.

  • MrEthiopian

    Redeem yourself Obama and get us out of war, you promised the world that is what you would do.

    These mineral resources have been known about for years. Why do you think we made them the patsy for the 9/11 “terror” attack?

  • Patmos33

    The Soviets knew about it . That's how we found out about it. They told us. What country is buying up all our debt (China)? It seems to me the Chinese are kind of controlling our military. I guess it's one way to pay the debt back. I wish it were different people. We are no longer number 1 .

    “Afghanistan must develop self-sustaining, indigenous revenue sources,” the report continues.

    Don't you just love the way the U.S. thinks it has a right to boss other sovereign countries around? This controlling sense of superiority is going to be the death of this nation. Time to start studying what happened to the Soviet Union when it fell. Our fate will be similar.

  • Savantster

    Well, the TFBSO is PROOF that corporate america is using our military for their business needs. Our troops are dying over there, not because we're trying to be “free”, but because we're trying to extend markets and get “cheap stuff” from 3rd world nations; people that don't give a flying fuck about consumerism are being forced to be our new factory workers at the point of our military guns.

    This is what the moron tea-baggers are unwittingly supporting.. massive tax-payer supported corporate fascism. They bitch about money for our own citizens and clamor for more cash for the war machine, all the while being completely ignorant of the fact that our war machine isn't protecting us, it's enriching corporations.. DIRECTLY.

    and people wonder why “terrorists” don't like America. Morons.

  • Savantster

    Actually, China is dealing directly with Afghanistan to buy rights to those minerals.. and the U.S. does NOT like that, so we're there with our military causing wars that block any mineral extraction (and so delays any deals).. We're there trying to “secure the nation” for OUR corporations, to BLOCK China from moving ahead.

    Everything I've read recently about China implies they are quietly positioning themselves in strategic locations around the world.. not for military domination, but economic domination. Oh, and China is sitting on a SHIT TON of “precious metals” needed for the Green Revolution, probably part of why we're not pushing it here (yet).. we don't want to buy all that stuff from China, American Businesses want the money instead (even though the labor would come from China and the like) so they are trying to get a lock on the base resources.. controlling the resources means controlling the final price..

    Of course, the few “owning” natural resources is key to our failed and unsustainable monetary system. These wars are about nothing more than the few continuing to “own the world” while the other 6.45 billion of us stay slaves to those few owners.

    http://www.thevenusproject.com and http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com .. go see a clear presentation about the rigged nature of this game you're being forced to play (and die for).

  • Savantster

    this has been going on since the beginning of civilization. Only, it used to matter because the world was HUGE and some of those resources were _required_ for populations to live.

    In the TINY technological world of today (you can send a package to the opposite side of the planet in 2 days, no 8 months like it used to take), this kind of behavior is no longer needed.. it's the few looking to continue living like gods by holding all the resources hostage that cause today's wars of resource acquisition.

  • Savantster

    job creation in OTHER COUNTRIES, so their governments grant us permission to hold their resources HOSTAGE in this RIGGED GAME.

  • Savantster

    Uh, this isn't a lottery win, this is murder while robbing a bank.

  • Savantster

    None of those others you mention had as good a PR/Liar team as the U.S.' corporate world.

  • Savantster

    The problem is, if we're going to “empire build”, we need to do it the RIGHT way.. all this posturing and game playing is the problem.. we need a FULL military decimation of the entire nation if we want to “win”.. but that means explaining to the Public that 'winning' is 'destroying them to steal their resources'.. and even most tea-baggers would cringe at that.

  • Savantster

    And it's that arrogance and attempts at exploitation that have the terrorists hating us. They just want to be left alone, to live their lives.. the problem (for american corporations) is that they do NOT want to be rampant consumers.. they want to be people living their lives, simply, quietly, without all the pain, misery, and mental disorders that go along with being a consumer society.

    We create them over there so they attack us over here so we can justify invading them over there so we can steal their resources so we can have more junk toys over here.
