Where are the billions going? Are US taxpayers funding international terrorism? Did Obama include this in his victory lap - Afghanistan was his.

As much as I love to dump on Obama, this was going on under W too.

Happened in Iraq also.

Same thing happened in Iraq. Lots of money flowing freely and little or no oversight.

Afghanistan was a total waste of lives and money.
No one has ever tamed Afghanistan and no one will.
We should have bounced the rubble for a few months with continuous B-52 raids until nothing was moving and called it a day.

I’m betting all this money goes to terrorist with Obama’s full knowledge.

We’ll be in Afghanistan indefinitely. Or at least until the collapse of our economy. It’s where Empires go to die.

Given the frequency of divided loyalties of many Afghans, we should not be surprised if some U.S. money gets funneled to the Taliban through the corruption that takes place.

Afghanistan has many rare natural resources that can’t be found or at least in proper quantities any where else.
This is why we are there.

The fact that we are still at war and entrenched in Afghanistan and Iraq is a disgrace. Syria and Libya were war crimes by Obama and Clinton. We fight wars to kill and destroy and not to play nice nor be compassionate and understanding. It seems like many American interests (government and NGO) have taken advantage of war torn countries for power, greed and folly.

Curious as to why this is just coming out now.

The cultural marxists are doing lots of this. Squirreling away money to use elsewhere. I would like to know where the $500 million dollars for illegal alien defense fund came from. Anyone know?

After Operation Anaconda in 2002 the Afghan soldiers were well paid for their support, as I remember the quote:

“The Afghan soldier were paid $10 and a goat, the goats were well appreciated.”

"The U.S. government is paying the salaries of “tens of thousands” of non-existent Afghan soldiers, police, teachers and civil servants..."

When told about this, Obama sniffed and said, "Jizya."
