Didn't you read my post????????
Your "source" is lying, just like the article.
This is one of a dozen articles concerning the aid package:
The package includes $28 million worth of wheat from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, $5 million in food commodities and $10 million in "livelihood and food security" programs, both from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
We didn't send money, we sent humanitarian aid. Unless the Afghans have a new "wheat gun" we haven't heard about.
Seriously though, if you do the research you'll not that not a single DOLLAR of that aid is provided directly by the USA. 100% is funneled through various United Nations agencies and NGO's. The U.S. admits that we don't have anyone on the gound inside Afghanistan to see how that aid is being applied. We do know that the largest portion is in fact food stuffs (i.e., not cash) and is applied to Afghani refugees in Pakistan where we can monitor what the result of our aid is.
Also, a portion of our aid $$$ (a little less than 20%) are cash payments earmarked for various self-improvement programs for farmers and villagers. But again, we have no one inside Afghanistan verifying that every single $$$ goes where it is supposed to.
Given our history of covert operations, training and arming Afghani's don't you think it's just a little bit possible that some of that aid is finding it's way to the Taliban? I think to believe anything less is just a bit naieve.
P.S. For future reference, Freepers can only reference FoxNews, NewsMax.com, Drudge and graduates of the EIB University. CNN and the like belong to us liberals!
just kidding!
