SIGAR: U.S. Risks Wasting Billions In Afghan Security Aid Given 'Inadequate Planning'

Thursday, January 27, 2011


We've been doing it (foreign policy) your way, the neocons' and neolibs way, the Republican­s and DLC-Democr­ats' way, for several decades now and each day we are less safe, in worse shape, more /oathed, poorer, less energy independen­t, farther from clean green sustainabl­e energy.  

We, the American people, and all of our progeny for generation­s to come have paid (and will for decades to come) the price with our blood and our money.  The top income levels of this nation have not.  They've made fortunes off the neocon-neo­lib foreign policy, and that's been the point of it.

I don't know how old you are or whether you've ever lost anyone you love to t/errorism­, but this nation has not worked and hasn't been the America that most of us think it is since the Nixon administra­tion (and then the post-Water­gate years, when Nixon's aides C/heney and Rumsfe/d, along with then-RNC chief B/ush, went on to stage the greatest heists in the history of the world).

We had a window right after the end of the Cold War to turn it all around and be the great nation we think we are.  We failed.  And it's because of Americans like you who think military force is the answer.  It's the problem, not the solution.
