Special inspector says he can’t say that $2B in US aid to Afghanistan isn’t funding Taliban

JTN: Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko said Wednesday he cannot say whether $2 billion U.S. tax dollars given to Afghanistan assistance are not funding the Taliban.

The United States has appropriated $2 billion in Afghanistan assistance since withdrawing from the country in 2021, Sopko testified to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability during a hearing on the Afghanistan withdrawal.

“As I sit here today, I cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban,” he said. more

  1. That’ll teach ‘um
    Math is Hard
    So is Fucking Around and Finding Out
    I see no reason to keep fucking around in other countries businesses when we have fucked up businesses right here inside our own home. Much less send $2 Billion Dollars for anything at all, much less paying more democracy now teachers to go profess doctrine and subversion of the youth and women from within.

    Sound Familiar?

    PS: The word Taliban translates to Student is what has been heard.
