Now here is something to think about.
The talking heads are saying that, even after the allies have moved out , Afghanistan will still need Billions of Dollars in aid to support it.
Isn't there something a bit 'odd' about that.
The US has spent billions of Dollars over twenty years. The other allies have also contributed large amounts.
The new rulers of the country, the Taliban (public enemy number one not long ago) are running the show. All vestiges of the previous government have fled or are trying to.
The Taliban, a hard line Islamic group are now armed with American equipment that the Afghan troops gave them. They will install Sharia law.
Yet the US is still going to give them tax payer's money in the future.
WHY ?
