In June 2001, American diplomats warned the Taliban that, if they did not cooperate with the Northern Alliance, and thus provide a stable environment for Unocal's projected oil pipeline, they would see bombs over Afghanistan "before the first snows fall in October." Between June & October, 9/11 happened. On October 7, American bombs began falling on Afghanistan. Now a map reveals that U.S. military bases line the exact route planned for a pipeline to extend from Central Asia, through Afghanistan & Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean.
