Transparency International (TI) list Afghanistan as being tied for first place for corruption. North Korea and Somalia are also tied for top places for corruption. Officials with TI point out that Afghanistan is a major failure as the U.S. led West has poured trillions in taxpayer money, and military domination into a country with a thousand year history of anarchy (localized self rule, no centralized government system).
The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) blames the U.S. Department of Defense for failing to provide oversight for the billions in lost taxpayer dollars sent to Afghanistan!
NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said NATO would withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan if President Hamid Karzai does not sign the Obama regime’s bilateral security agreement. But wait, isn’t that what most people in Afghanistan want? Isn’t that what most people in the United States and Europe want? Why is Obama pushing to stay when he promised to leave?
The U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, said the Obama regime will except the signature of the Afghan Defense Minister on the Obama regime’s so called security deal. This is because President Karzai continues to complain about the details of the deal, and he has repeatedly stated he would rather the U.S. forces would leave Afghanistan! However, Kerry’s ploy backfired when Karzai banned any minister from signing the deal: “President Karzai wants an absolute end to the military operations on Afghan homes and a meaningful start to the peace process, and we are certain that the Americans can practically do that within days or weeks. As long as these demands are not accepted, President Karzai will not authorize any minister to sign it!”-Aimal Faizi, spokesman for President Hamid Karzai
The Obama regime’s security deal with Afghanistan is actually part of the new Title 10. This involves the role of the U.S. military with NATO members, and affiliated non-members. The New Jersey National Guard has already gone through Title 10 training in Germany. This training is planned for every month through to the end of 2014 (when U.S.-NATO is supposedly going to leave Afghanistan). Title 10 is all part of creating a greater NATO: “They are mainly concerned with Title 10 training……to make sure U.S. Army units are well integrated with our NATO and multinational partners….The training is exactly in harmony with what we want to attain in the whole of NATO.”-Colonel Thomas S. Matsel, Joint Multinational Training Command
