There's actually a lot of lithium deposits in Canada (which would be much cheaper than getting it from Afghanistan). Ironically, there isn't enough demand to build mines on all those deposits. Cellphones and laptops require a pretty small amount of lithium.

He wasn’t a SEAL and the photo of him on truTV is from the movie Predator.

Facts you should know about Jesse Ventura

- Ventura lied about being a Navy SEAL on active duty. He joined the SEAL Reserves after active duty. (Page 102).
- He lied about being in Vietnam. He told Dennis Anderson of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that “you haven’t hunted until you’ve hunted man”. Ventura was never in combat and he never hunted man.
- Bribed a candidate on July 17, 1998 so he could run unopposed in the Reform Party and keep his radio show. Call for free video of the actual bribe.

- Killed caged birds at a game farm with Maria Shriver and Charlie Weaver.
- Endorsed “torture” of people at Highway 55 when 600-law enforcement (the largest police action in Minnesota history) arrested peaceful protesters trying to prevent demolition of homes for a road. Many protesters were handcuffed behind their backs and pepper sprayed in their eyes. (Page 4).
- Ventura took government money to go to school in Hennepin County and later told students that if they were smart enough to go to college they should be able to figure out how to pay for it.

if piers morgan was told to eat his own ****, im sure he wouldn't waste anytime.

Go Jesse!! If it's lithium, of what I was not aware, or if it's oil, or if it's just so we can continue to fund the war machine and make those companies rich that benefit from the war machine, its damn sure not because we need to maintain our freedoms or because Afghanistan is harboring terrorists. It's not a conspiracy theory. The words "Conspiracy Theory" are a copout to divert people from seeking the truth!

Wouldnt surprise me at all. Actually makes sense dude.

haha. As if Afghanistan is safe for anything. Especially mining.

ugh.. michael moore

good for jesse Ventura....the only honest man left in America.....I'd vote for him for President. He's not a light weight like Obama..Venture does understand the middle class...he doesn't live in an ivory tower like obama...I think he'd do common sense things for the country and he's not as crazy as the republicans who only care about the very rich. He's a good solid independent and that's what we need in this country right now. When Venura was in office...he had a problem with the media and got voted out because of it.. But, he had really competent people around him and had he had more time in office I believe he would have done much better. Unfortunately, in order to survive in this day an age you have to get along with the media. All that both parties care about today is getting re-elected and taking care of their own sorry asses.
