Wow, 10 million per day seems to have "gone missing"...

Im sure alot of people knew about funds go missing in Iraq quite a few years ago... But this money could have directly gone to the "opposition"...

Isnt this like.... Our tax money?

21 leads on the potential crimes, and only 4 were followed up on?

What is going on here... Why is everything backwards any more?

Sounds a lot like the French Revolution. No surprise here, big banks funding both sides of a war. History repeating itself over and over again.

The Rothschilds were good teachers.

Every time there's a war, there's a Rothchild behind it funding both sides.

It's too bad that this family wasn't laid to rest a long time ago.

There is a lot of money in dealing Opium...and guns...and terrorism....

No one dealing with the amount of money missing would go this long without attempting to find
it unless they had personal investments in what it is truly being used for. Especially....only taking
on investigating only 4 of 20 some odd complaints?

Mr. Obama...DO NOT demean the American people again when you can not keep track
of where you invest OUR MONEY!!!

Talk about brain dead...

war is very profitable, that is until it ends... funding both sides is the only way to assure the conflict continues, as well as the profits.

You obviously know very little about the history of war.

Al-CIA-da the initial grants for the Taliban drug trade and weapons dealing worldwide.

We live in the most corrupt hypocritical country in the world but they wouldn't do that?

Step into reality..

$10,000,000 per day

For 1 year = $3.65 Billion
For 9 years = $32.85 Billion

I haven't heard that many "Billions" since this guy died:

Tailiban was eradicating the poppys before the US invaded. Since the US has invaded, the opium production has WENT UP 4 times pre-invasion levels.

Correct me if i wrong. U.S don't need Taliban to achive their goals, they only thing they can do for them is to sell wepons. That what russians did in the first war against Chechnya, they started it to make money, by selling weapons. And of course U.S is no differient. Before the war, Taliban had reduce their opium production till minium, and when americans toke control it's got increased for over 400%

U.S making money by selling weapons to taliban and producing opium, but why to fund them, I can't understand

The Taliban is just a loose band of local militia that defend their county. There is no threat to the US, just an unwilling actor to play some sick and stupid games.

I'm not surprised. The Banks are indeed funding both sides to create a fictional war. Funny how the US government funded the Taliban to remove the Soviets back then and funded Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war. And now, the Taliban have become the enemy they helped create, and disposed off Saddam Hussein, the very person they helped finance with weapons.

Whether its a Zionist conspiracy or mere stupidity of the US government, only in time will the truth be revealed.

wells fargo and wachovia were busted laundering dope money...
and then fined a fraction of the total..

wooohoo!

for thosse of you who don't get it:
refer to the Pat Tillman murder...
till then maybe this will explain to you how things work




“London and New York, two biggest laundries of criminal and drug money”
Martin Woods, a former senior anti-money laundering officer at the London office of Wachovia Bank says that New York and London have become the world's two biggest laundries of criminal and drug money, and offshore tax havens....

....It all started 10 April 2006, when Mexican soldiers intercepted a DC-9 jet which landed in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, on the Gulf of Mexico. They found 128 cases packed with 5.7 tons of coc aine, valued at 100 million USD. But something else – more important and far-reaching – was discovered in the paper trail behind the purchase of the plane by the Sinaloa narco-trafficking cartel.

Sounds like the Iran-Contra scandal. Except this time it's opium instead of coke.

And Ollie is a news reporter in this one.

A Chinese general once said, "I don't need friends, but enemies I couldn't live without."

Or something to that effect. I couldn't find the exact quote.

I made a thread about this some time ago. Congress was actually investigating the president at one time.

Note the date on this article.

AP

If the allegations are true, then the U.S. would be unintentionally involved in a protection racket and indirectly financing the enemy, the Democrat leading the inquiry, said Wednesday.

WASHINGTON -- Congress is investigating allegations that U.S. tax dollars are being paid to warlords and the Taliban for security on supply routes used to truck food, water, fuel and ammunition to American troops in Afghanistan.

If the allegations are true, then the U.S. would be unintentionally involved in a protection racket and indirectly financing the enemy, Rep. John Tierney, the Massachusetts Democrat leading the inquiry, said Wednesday.



Another, again, note the date.

Taliban leader rejects U.S. attempts to lure away fighters with money

He was referring to the Taliban reintegration provision, part of the $680 billion defense appropriation bill that Obama signed Wednesday to pay for military operations in the 2010 fiscal year.

The provision would separate local Taliban from their leaders, paying the fighters to quit the organization, replicating a program used to neutralize the insurgency against Americans in Iraq, according to the Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Akhund said 19th century British invaders and Soviet fighters in the 1980s tried the same tactic, unsuccessfully.

He said the Taliban consider the U.S. measure "a sign of weakness and complete despondency of the enemy."



It's not any secret where this money is going, and why. Never really heard anything more over this investigation that was started by a Democrat.

You can read the thread and see how people were actually supportive of this being done, supporters of Obama, and Hillary was on record in a hearing admitting to it.



At a Dec. 2 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton acknowledged the long, rugged supply lines to landlocked Afghanistan through Pakistan's port city of Karachi offer numerous opportunities for fraud and corruption that pad the Taliban's accounts.


It is too close to Fast and Furious, different intentions, but the same players.

www.smh.com.au...


"There is a standard series of inducements you use to stop people fighting you, and money is one of them," said John Nagl, a former colonel who helped devise the surge strategy in Iraq.

(snip)

A complication, said Colonel Kilcullen, was that the Taliban's drug money gave it deep pockets to compete with US dollars.


Until the money runs out...

Don't you think if we just left them *alone*, they might quit wanting to *kill* Americans?


"Pull all your forces out of our prideful country and put an end to the game of colonialization by shedding the blood of innocent Muslim people under the unjustified name of terrorism," he said.
