Treasonous or criminally incompetent. Is there a third alternative?
“Taliban gets $239 million in aid after failure of State Dept. vetting,” by Terrance Kible, Just The News, August 4, 2024:
The Islamic extremist Taliban has received at least $239 million in U.S. aid aimed at counterterrorism after State Department vetting procedures fell apart, according to a government watchdog.
The government watchdog, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), issued a July 2024 report identifying at least 29 grants where the Taliban may have erroneously received counterterrorism funds.
SIGAR “investigators found that the State Department failed to comply with its own counterterrorism partner vetting requirements in Afghanistan,” Judicial Watch reported.
The funds came from State Department divisions called “Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor” and “International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.”
The SIGAR report identified more than two dozen instances where these divisions failed to keep proper vetting records.
The SIGAR report includes a response to the findings from the State Department.
A June 2024 letter from the State Department claimed “the majority of the Department’s Afghanistan-related awards fully complied” with vetting requirements” but acknowledged “the gaps in compliance highlighted in the report.”
The letter expressed the State Department’s “commit[ment] to ensuring that all program offices comply with applicable . . . vetting requirement.”

What about cynicism ?

The taliban….a terror organization…must now use these illicit monies to fight among themselves.
This was supposedly a “mistake.”
Yesterday, there was an article about the flights of illegals into the country…the U.S….being conducted by the biden gang. The report was that the money being spent to bring them in, and the people/groups ‘sponsoring’ the illegals was fraught with ‘fraud’ and other illegalities.
Such as….the same phone numbers being used by different individuals and groups; the same addresses, many of them bogus, and other things needing investigation. So the flights have been put on pause until it can all be sorted….it is already sordid…and straightened.
“incompetent” Maybe at completely hiding the evil doings. But the money was meant for terror.
MD Anthony says
The only thing accidental in this anti-terrorism funding being given to the Terrorist Taliban was that the audit report was released exposing the Cash to Islamist behavior of America’s closet Muslim President Joe Biden.

Biden is just Obama’s dhimmi house-slave.
Somewhere in all of this there is no doubt some kickback maneuver to enrich some bodies here in the USA.
The Dhimmicrats just love to p*ss away our hard earned money.
Rick Smith says
So true man, it honestly makes my blood boil…these foktards on the Left fall all over each other to give millions and billions of tax dollars to the worst scum of human who rape and slaughter little girls/women for not covering themselves.
There needs to be accountability…and like you said there must be some bribes/kickbacks enriching all those involved in all of this.
Tbh, I’m sure anyone in their position would do the same, knowing they can get away with bilking millions of dollars from taxpayers and they’ll never go to jail for it. What a sick world we live in.

But, I shudder to imagine what they’re judging.

How much of this idiocy can we endure? And will there be mass firings, as there should be?

Not to worry folks. The new President Cackles will soon whip things into shape.
somehistory says
She’ll go to Afghanistan to whip, like she went to the Southern border to czar.

The terrorists they don’t fund in afghanistan, iran and elsewhere, they allow to enter the country.

There is a lot more….including
“Border Patrol had encountered migrants on the terror watchlist from 36 different countries — including places with active terror presences. Those countries include Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan and Yemen.”

Walter Sieruk says
The reader may be sure that Joe Biden along with those “behind curtains’ who use and control that puppet “president’ are some of the reasons why the US State Department had done that wicked action of providing the Taliban with $ 239,000,000
They by having that have to be people of wickedness and insanity. As the Bible in Ecclesiastes 9:3. reads “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
The is strong indication the the State Department , along the higher up staff of the Biden administration, have been thoroughly infiltrated and influenced by the stealth jihadists.

This was no mistake the violations of our laws were intentional as were the govs violations of our immigration laws
brenrod says
As much a mistake as Biden’s sending billions to Iran to fund irans proxy war on Israel.
Like an arsonist who starts a fire and then shows up as a fireman to put it out, only he fails at putting it out.
OLD GUY says
It appears these agencies of the American government justify their existence and budgets by giving away billions of our hard earned tax dollars to the enemy. ” TRAITORS “
