I doubt it. It's more of a stubborn thing at this point, the Repubs don't want to leave because they want the Dems to be the ones to pull out, and the Dems don't want to pull out because the Repubs will call them cowards.

Proving metal resources takes years and transportation and lots of time. Why bother? There are plenty elsewhere.

As for Karzai, he's living in a drug dream. He's a hopeless nut at this point in time. If the US pulls out, he'll either be a slave to the Taliban or executed, probably executed, in short order.

The world is gearing up for WWIII, and it's going to be a mess. Given the news about Pakistan, China, Tibet and India over the last few weeks, I'd say we know where it will start, we just don't have an exact date.
