Nauru has no money, zilch, nada if it loses a court case in New York or something.
Their pres. had the cajones to ask ours for 50 million to tide him over. This after throwing us out.
Quick, have hussein write out a check!
Cash-Poor?!? LMAO!
I’m sure Karzi could cut them a check for it.
Sounds like our country’s financial position!!
Don’t worry, ISIS is there to hire the unemployed at a rate higher than they were making working for the government .......
Of course they don’t have the money. The billions we airlifted in there was all stolen by Karzai and his cronies.
There was a report that 98% of the government spending in Afghanistan was paid for by foreign governments. Once the spigot is tamped down, it’s all over for that country.
The value of all those poppy fields covering the country isn’t a ‘Let’s Make Afghanistan Beautiful’ effort...
Between 9/11 and our invasion I read an article in the British press that was an interview with a Taliban defector who told how Mullah Omar ruled in traditional Afghan style. He held court in a room where he sat on a dais with a tin box next to him. Tribal leaders would come to see him, kowtow and pledge their loyalty. Then they would tell him about their people’s hardships and ask for help. He would open the box, and hand them money. Every week or so a convoy of new black SUVs would pull up with Osama bin Laden and his bodyguards. He would come in a fill the tin box with money.
We should have just given our ambassador a big box of cash and had him pay off the tribal leaders instead of spending 1000 times as much trying to set up a government that they see as a threat to their power, and that won’t last a year after we leave.
Oh, if only that would happen here.
I’d love to see the tax leeches fretting about getting by like the rest of us.
