We reported the contracts with terrorist-affiliated groups back in August, yet the contracts are still in place.
This new report now shows how much money they are actually getting, $150 million, and that the practice continues, despite ample evidence of the connection being shown. The response? We cannot violate the “due process” rights of the terrorist-connected groups. Meanwhile the US has in fact suspended contracts for fraud or other misconduct. But apparently terrorism doesn’t constitute sufficient “misconduct”.
Is there an adult anywhere in this administration to take any kind of responsibility to stop this? Sorry, I realize that’s probably just rhetorical…
Via Daily Mail:
A new investigation has revealed that the U.S. government has paid more than $150 million to groups that fund terror attacks against American soldiers.
The findings have been reported by the Pentagon itself as the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction compiled a list of 43 such companies who are connected to Taliban leaders who have arranged bombs and attacks on American targets.
‘It’s like the United States government subsidizing the Taliban, al Qaeda, the Haqqani network, those groups that are trying to shoot and kill our soldiers,’ New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen told ABC News.[ed.-not “like”, it IS subsidizing terrorists!]
