The trillions of dollars spent in Afghanistan and Iraq, which are really about a gas pipeline and some crude oil? That money, which could’ve bought a clean energy network for America? Here it is: “U.S. paying insurgents to attack U.S. troops”
June 8th, 2010
KABUL, Afghanistan —
Insurgents killed 12 NATO soldiers on Monday,
7 of them Americans, military
officials said.
WASHINGTON – June 7 –
After the New York Times reported that
investigators in Afghanistan and Washington D.C.
believe that private Afghan security companies, with close
connections to the Karzai government and family, may have bribed
insurgents to attack American and NATO convoy lines in order
to demonstrate their companies’ value to the security
of U.S. and NATO forces, Congressman Dennis
Kucinich (D-OH) released the
following statement:
“The American people
are paying to prop up a corrupt government
that may be using our money to pay private companies
to drum up business by paying the insurgents to attack our troops.
Our troops are dying in Afghanistan, and now it turns out we
may be funding their killers. Our continued presence
in Afghanistan is detrimental
to our security.
“In the coming weeks,
Congress is expected to be asked to give
another $33 billion for war efforts. Congress is having
difficulty finding the funding to provide for the health and
nutrition of the next generation of Americans,
but we can find funding to prop up
a corrupt government.”
