Fox News and NYT are both reporting that we will be Nation building in Afghan region until 2017.
16 billion will be pissed away in an attempt to covert those people into civilized humans. It will, of course, ultimately fail.
Can you just imagine what 16 billion dollars could do, if invested in the private sector? I know what I could do with it!! There is a real estate market around here that is ripe for the pickings, if one wanted to create a rental real estate empire. That is only a part of what I would do with that sort of money.
But, instead, It will wasted to prop up a corrupt Government.
Hope and Change…. yeah, sure.
