And that brings another question to mind:
Was any of the $43 million we shipped to the Taliban used for buying tickets and rental cars by the terrorists? If so, I think we ought to insist on a refund.

Your attempts to spin this into something it is not are disgusting. The money went to the UN for disbursement. It was to assist about 800,000 people who have been displaced because of the actions of the Taliban. Some have fled to Pakistan seeking refuge and assistance, and they died there because they starved to death. The money was intended to assist women and children especially, both victims of Taliban. Women suffer tremendously simply because they are female, and they have little support.

Certain points could be made about ensuring that the money was allocated with integrity....make them if you can. Leave the spin out of it, fraud. It had NOTHING to do with drugs, or the WOD...stop projecting.

Oh yeah--and it's probably not the best idea to use sources like Scheer, a self-confessed extremist liberal with an even more extremist agenda.
