observer Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 The Government is to increase financial aid to Afghanistan by 40% at a time of austerity at home; in order to provide a veneer of progress prior to a retreat by 2014. Problem is according to news reports, that Afghanistan hasn't the structural capacity to absorb $billions in aid being thrown at them, other than to line the pockets of corrupt politicians or to buy off the Taliban. So, beside wasting lives, we're now wasting money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
