A new Senate Foreign Relations Committee report lays out their “roadmap” for continuing to pour billions of dollars in aid into Afghanistan annually.
The plan, which Senate Dems say was timed for release after President Karzai’s term in office ended and the troop deal extended, and will keep the $5-$8 billion average outflow of US “aid” into Afghanistan more or less intact.
With the vast majority of that aid being flat out squandered on things Afghans didn’t need or want, the committee’s plan seeks to make the future aid “condition-based” with some vague sustainability requirements.
Details of all the conditions are not yet clear, but indications are that they will mostly been centered on the administration signing off on the Afghan government dubious human rights record, something they’ve been only too willing to do in the past, and will undoubtedly do in the future to keep the gravy train flowing.
Yeah sure, why not, it's not like the war mafia doesn't get enough money already, and it's not like the country is broke. Just keep printing them dollars and handing them over to the mobsters.
The USG Military Industrial Complex can always depend on its whores and prostitutes
in Congress to continue wasting taxpayers' dollars on perpetual war and bloodshed.
The MIC has no problem squandering millions on Afghan military aircraft, (only) to be
sold for (32 thousand) bucks worth of scrap metal. Don't forget the two satellite
Afghan cable TV trucks costing (3.6 million) bucks that arrived (broken), and are
somewhere collecting dust and sand in a parking lot in Kabul.
Oboomer, the political hack candidate, in 2007, said he opposed a (stupid) war.
Well, President Oboomer, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has a few (stupid) wars of
his own, including ISIS, his Nazi pals in the Ukraine, and the continued quagmire
in Afghanistan.
Someone needs to put Congress on record, especially right before the election…and ask them exactly "WHY" they think the money they are printing for Afghanistan is necessary 0 and demand specifics. Don't allow them to change the topic or tap dance around a cogent answer.
Ask them what could be accomplished with the money in their own districts.
Ask the Senate parasites if they think their own constituents would be better off keeping the money in their own pockets rather than laundered by the MIC into the pockets of the Afghan "government".
We know what their answer would be: "The government can spend the money better than you can."
Yes Sir,
USG can also waste (our) money better than (we) can too.
