I do hope that we are not just writing the big check from the Tax Payers and
hand it over to the Afghanistan government to dispersed the funds as they see
fit. There are corrupt officials within their government and I can see some of
the money being funneled in ways that it will come back and haunt us later on.

IN Afghanistan our success depended on helping Afghanistan fight its own
battles. Even with 130,000 troops at one time we could not continue to fight
there as the American people hate casualties of our troops and some are
inevitable. We can kill one to a hundred, but that one counts. We have had
some success training local troops and basically that is what we must do. I
can't understand why it costs $500 million to train a few thousand men?
