Since when has Gordon Brown been 'left'?

Anyway, just leaving that aside for a moment, we can't actually do much in Zimbabwe short of invading (which we will never do) because ...
... they don't have enough oil.
I have corrected your post.
How much oil have we got from Afghanistan then? or the Falklands?
Afghanistan has a major pipeline running through it that the Americans need to control.
At the time of the Falklands (which was a different case scenario anyway becuase British territory had actually been invaded) there was much speculation about oil in their offshore waters.
HTH
African countries haven't really done too well since they were "liberated" have they?
Why do the Americans want or need oil ??
They are sitting on enough of their own
And as for the Falklands that's all it ever was speculation
Are you SERIOUSLY asking that? Oil means money.
Actually, they're not, and it's a huge problem for them.
From wikipedia:
" If the United States had to supply its entire demand of 21 million barrels per day (3.3×106 m3/d) without resorting to foreign imports, existing US reserves would last only three years at the current rate of consumption."
Oil is running out, but two thirds of what's left is in the Middle East. Hardly good news for the US.
f*** me i didn't know that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Latest estimates put the amount of offshore oil around the Falklands at 60 billion barrels. To put that in perspective, that's around three times as much as is thought to still lie under US soil. THat's the whole of the US, including offshore sites and Alaska.
Don't take my word for it, pick just about any link from here:
falklands oil - Google Search
You'll find the same info from a huge variety of sources.
