How the U.S. Funds the Taliban


www.alternet.org
In this grotesque carnival, the US military's contractors are forced to pay suspected insurgents to protect American supply routes. It is an accepted fact of the military logistics operation in Afghanistan that the US government funds the very forces American troops are fighting. And it is a deadly irony, because these funds add up to a huge amount of money for the Taliban. "It's a big part of their income," one of the top Afghan government security officials told The Nation in an interview. In fact, US military officials in Kabul estimate that a minimum of 10 percent of the Pentagon's logistics contracts--hundreds of millions of dollars--consists of payments to insurgents.

Yes you are right, The American government has engaged in briberies for decades to keep the so call enemies closes, but in todays world where America has lost credibility we are been used, our tax payer dollars are going for nothing but funding of more terrorism.

Every time millions goes to support governments in the middle east most of that money goes to fund terrorism against our soldiers and people around the area.

Places like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq, are breeding terrorist with more energy than ever before and they are becoming more sophisticated in their tactics. . . only money can achieve that.

Two wars has created mass movement of the region natural citizens escaping from chaos and destruction, this only becomes breeding ground for recruitment of Tali ban supporters when young able men find nothing else to do.

Money, contraband of weapons and very good financing is going on in the region and it has American dollars stamp all over.

they have to first to allow for Napalm to be used again.. since that is an effective weapon for burning down crops.. smoking and burning out the taliban in there caves.
The war can be won in Afghanistan if other tacticts are used ,.. and that with same amount or less soldiers ..
push the taliban and foreign fighters towards mountain area in the northern part of Afghanistan ,, Pakistani army push them from Pakistan towards the place you want the taliban to go and then push from Iraq with Nato and US special forces then when the talibani are in the area where you want them .. napalm between the US / nato forces and the taliban and from the other side too.. so the talibani can not escape due to a fire wall. and then when they are trapped ask the to surrender or lethal force will be used if they are not willing .. Nerve gas will do the job and some nuclear bunker buster to blow the top of the mountain onto the caves will to the job.
Only thing this is not allowed due to Geneva law ect and the media will take a beat on this .
