Senior officials in Karzai's government are implicated in bank fraud. Not a single senior member of Karzai’s government has been arrested, and most of the investigations have stalled.
Well, there was that deputy sec of something-or-other who caught a grand larceny beef buying stuff at Target, then going back w/n a decent interval. marching up to the shelve, picking up a 2nd copy of what he'd just bought, and then taking it to the return desk w/the receipt from purchase #1. I think the charge was aggravated stupidity, w/enhancements....but not official misconduct, or such like.
In the late nineteen-nineties, working for the legendary anti-Taliban commander Ahmed Shah Massoud, Ferozi sold emeralds mined in the crags of the Panjshir Valley and used the hard currency to pay an obscure Russian company to print truckloads of Afghan currency. In this way, he helped underwrite Massoud’s movement. According to a Massoud associate, the commander became enraged when he discovered that Ferozi was helping to print currency for the Taliban as well.
In a nutshell, I don't think you could paint a more exquisite recipe for perpetual war than this, especially when you read how pervasively this kind of activity continues to pervade the government gangsters of Afghanistan.
Wanna see how it works? Well, all you gotta do is invade the country and spend hundreds of billions in dollars to prop up one government gangster family of your choosing. Spin. Rinse. Repeat.
It is a foregone conclusion that you can continue in this fashion for oh, let's say, ten years or more and still find you are making absolutely no progress in nation-building.
Any doubts? It works! Honest! Cross Obama's heart, and hope it's someone else's kid who dies!
Well, I haven't done THIS in a while!.......No idea how to eliminate a double-post. Apologies!
