As Robert Gates, former defence secretary in the Obama administration, said in his 2014 book,

Biden has ‘been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades’.

Biden was the ONLY the only senior person in the Obama administration to argue against the pursuit and execution of Osama bin Laden - which WAS the original mission in 2001.

Afghanistan has 1.8 billion barrels of oil between Balkh and Jawzjan Province .

By 2050, the US expects to import more than 80 percent of its petroleum from this region and much of that oil would be extracted from beneath the deserts of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The September 11 attack provided the Cheney-Bush team with the opportunity to use the US military to pave the way for Big Oil’s long-sought Afghan oil route.

By 2050, the United States might have to rely on Australian exports of oil to be able to keep up with demand. But I can see Afghani remnants of the Taliban needing to rely on massive exports of oil at a relatively low price to keep alive.

We will likely not be needing oil to go towards fueling our vehicles by 2050.

At this stage...
