The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John F. Sopko, has confirmed the obvious: American tax dollars ended up in the hands of the Taliban. Beyond that, American weaponry for jihadists ended up in Kashmir and even Hamas.
“Inspector general confirms American tax dollars end up in Taliban hands,” by Adam Andrzejewski, WND, April 7, 2024:
Topline: The United States has sent $2.6 billion of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan since August 2021, some of which wound up in the hands of the Taliban terrorist organization, according to a recent Inspector General report.
Key Facts: Afghanistan does not have the infrastructure to support electronic money transfers, so the United Nations flies stacks of physical U.S. cash into the country. The money goes to groups fighting the drought and famine in the region.
Sometimes the groups can use the U.S. dollars, but they also need afghanis — Afghanistan’s currency — to pay employees and vendors. So, the groups exchange their cash through private banks.
But many private banks in Afghanistan do not have enough afghanis to support the U.N., since the Taliban controls the money supply.
To get more afghanis, the private banks auction off the U.N. cash to the highest bidder. Oftentimes, that’s the Taliban-controlled Da Afghanistan Bank, which makes a profit for the Taliban because of the currency exchange rate.
Once the exchange occurs, the same physical U.S. dollars flown in by the U.N. are now held in the Taliban’s bank….
Tony Rice says
WELL DONE Joe, or should we say OBAMA ? THAT would make sense.
somehistory says
They needed the services of an IG to tell them this?
Common sense should have been enough to know this would be the case before any “stacks of cash” left the U.S. It’s no different than giving money to a drunken bum who gambles away his paycheck and telling him it’s to buy food for his kids.
Except that giving the money to the taliban is so much worse than giving it to a bum on the streets
Walter Sieruk says
That despicable and treasonous US “President” Joe Biden, has only helped the murderous Taliban enemy conquer Afghanistan.
Now Biden continues to send $2.6 Billion of “humanitarian aid “and support the Taliban. So now the Taliban can more effectively oppress, terrorize the people of Afghanistan. For it’s very obvious that the Taliban will take that aid sent the people of Afghanistan use to further uphold their Islamic tyranny and finance different murderous jihad terror groups that are in the world.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is responsible for that catastrophe which he created in which the Taliban savages took over Afghanistan.
That fiendish “president” imposter Biden must not be content with harming America and the American people, now he’s furthering is destructive scheme to harm the Western countries and the citizens of those countries. The evils of Joe Biden must have no limits.
Furthermore, just think of all those Americans and out good Afghans, friends he abandoned in Afghanistan to be encountered captured tortured and murdered by the bloodthirsty Taliban.
To make matters even worse Biden admitted many unchecked and unvetted “refugees” into and throughout the United States , a number of them , not doubt are criminal and secret jihadists scheming and waiting for the time they consider to engage in murderous violence.
The innocent people who will be murdered by them will guilty and likewise Biden will also then have their blood on his sinister wicked and destructive hands.
All that evil in Afghanistan would never have happened if that President Pretender, Joe Biden just threw away and totally destroyed nearly twenty years of progress accomplished by the blood sweat and tears and even the deaths of many Americans as well as those blood, sweat and tears of America’s allies.
Also Biden threw away more than trillion of the American taxpayer’s money that was invested in for the betterment and development of Afghanistan.
This tragic scenario didn’t actually have to had happen in Afghanistan because the generals of the Pentagon who are strategic military advisers to the President strongly counseled Biden not to have a sharp, sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan but instead have and start a gradual drawback of the US armed forces after September 11, 2021.
The problem was that the arrogant conceited and stupid Joe Biden refused to heed or listen to the wise council of the intellects of the Pentagon. Therefore is this complete catastrophe with the Taliban total takeover of Afghanistan.
In the ancient but wisdom filled book by Sun Tzu entitled THE ART OF WAR, it is written “He will win who has the military capability and is not interfered with the sovereign.”
That awful incompetent and probably even treasonous villain, Joe Biden, ruined everything.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is the one who should really have charges of impeachment filed against him .For many reasons.
For that jihadist road from Taliban owned Afghanistan to the countries of Europe, he had his wicked hand in creating
Even before this new jihadist pathway to Europe that treasonous US “President” Biden, has aided and new continues to support that murderous Taliban enemy conquer Afghanistan and even let the America and American people hating Taliban have new high quality US military equipment.
Likewise, Biden is a traitor to all the families and friends of those US soldiers, who had shed their blood, were killed and terribly maimed for life by the Taliban. For creepy traitorous old Joe just ‘gave away” Afghanistan to the Taliban.
Biden also has betrayed many Americans and the good Afghans who really aided the US military in the land by abandoning them all to the vicious and murderous Taliban.
Furthermore, Biden really does not care about those thirteen Americans who died or the other American who died in Afghanistan because of either his incompetence or treasonous orders.
Therefore , Joe Biden is very, obviously is ether completely incompetent and despicably treasonous. In the first or second case Biden should not have been allowed be enter the Office of the Presidency in the first place.
As that catastrophe, he created in Afghanistan and letting the Talban obtain may high quality US military equipment.
As the former US President Theodore Roosevelt that the Office of the Presidency in not only a powerful position but “a very strong man” is needed for the Oval Office. Joe Biden is not a strong man but as already stated is weak and feeble.
Roosevelt also, rightly, believed “a man holding that very important Office “should be sharply watch by the people [and] held to a strict accountability by them.”
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden so totally quickly destroyed all the progress that was achieved in almost twenty years in Afghanistan is so terrible severe that it’s now completely irreversible.
As Abraham Lincoln had said “You can’t unscramble eggs.”

We must not forget the $80+ B of weapons biden gifted to our enemies
OLD GUY says
When will our Government leaders ever learn that giving money and equipment to foreign governments never helps anyone but the leaders of our enemies and adversaries. Hey Uncle Sam I’ll be your life long buddy if you give me a BILLION DOLLARS, until I cash the CHECK. STOP FOREIGN AID!
