The US has been sending a stream of taxpayer’s dollars into Afghanistan, claiming the money’s needed to improve infrastructure and living conditions. But the latest auditing reports indicate most of this money – amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars – has been outright wasted or swallowed by corruption. RT’s Lucy Kafanov assesses the results.
It going as a payoff so we can keep sending our young into a meat grinding me and health destroying money pit for the oligarchs.
Dang spell check
Are we great or what. Everything our gov’t. touches turns to shit.
Yeah, we’re going to invade a country where they live in the stone age, where they shit out the back door, and magically transform it – I think not.
Many of these ‘soldiers’ that return from our current wars have serious injury’s or PTSD.
However, they sold their soul to the Devil. They went to college, and had it paid for by the US Military, and they never thought that they would ever be called upon to see any action.
This wounded warrior stuff is a sham.
The big buyers of flash houses in Dubai are Afgans. Any guesses where they get the money?

We pretty much fucked up Libya as well.
The USA is now the most militaristic nation that ever existed on the planet.
The voices Bush, Obama, and likewise pukefuk assholes hear
— tend to overstate threats,
— see the opponent as an enemy
— think that the opponent has designs to conquer territories
— favor force of arms as responses and solutions
— side with anyone who opposes the bigger enemy even if that ally is odious
— eschew diplomatic means to defuse situations
— hark back to inapplicable past situations like those in the 1930s involving Germany
— always call for military responses even when military threats are minimal or nonexistent
WTF did Iraq ever do to us?
WTF did Afghanistan ever do to us?
WTF did Libya ever do to us?
Nothing. Yet we (those who rule us) — unilaterally, really — decided to kill (murder) thousands of their citizens, and destroyed (literally) their countries. Why their citizens aren’t flying more airplanes into our buildings is amazing to me.
It just to disgusting to think about money and young men wasted in and on that country.I know I shouldn’t do this but I’m going to start drinking again.Beer for lunch ,beer for supper ,beer tonight.
Yes, but the poppy fields are producing a record yield!
