Here’s another trick shot. The neo-cons are now admitting that leaving 12,000 U.S. combat troops in Afghanistan “until 2024 and beyond” has nothing to do with fighting the “Islamic terrorists.” It has to do with giving Karzai $200+ billion taxpayer dollars over the next 10 years. Apparently our Congresspeople can’t justify to “we the people” why they’re going to spend all that money unless combat troops remain in Afghanistan. Our troops are going to be used as cannon fodder just so our political leaders can pump billions of our tax dollars into Afghanistan to prop up some undemocratic flunkie leading a corrupt government. That they are willing to do. But they are NOT willing to feed our own poor here at home. WTF?
