Over $100 Million Paid To Corrupt Officials-While We Have Starving People Here At Home

THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

A record from the WikiLeaks files reveal that U.S. officials wanted Afghan President Hamid Karzai to remove a former warlord from the energy and water ministry because they considered him a very corrupt individual. But Karzai who is a friend and close associate of Ismal Khan refused to get rid of him.

In 2010 Khan was asked about the corruption he was accused of but he denied the allegation. Even with the knowledge that this man is corrupt and Afghan itself is a hot bed of corrupt officials the United States continues to pour "hundreds of millions" of dollars into new energy and water projects in Afghanistan. Talk about a money pit - -Afghanistan is a one of the biggest in the world.

On December 14, 2009, Karzai said Khan was his choice for energy minister. He also said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to the choice. What does that say about the Secretary of State's reasoning powers? It's insane. It appears the Secretary of State and the administration continues do irrational things over and over again but expects a different result. That's insanity people.

In Iraq our government misplaced over 100 million dollars and doesn't know where it went. [Note: That ($100 Million) was not military troop monies, it was just money stolen from projects that were being scheduled]. Now in Afghanistan a repeat of the same old, same old.

Khan, with the blessing of Karzai, took over the energy agency in 2004. Corruption began from the start of his appointment and the corruption loss as of this date is well over ($100 Million) "one-hundred million dollars."

[NOTE: Once again this $100 Million is over and above the money we are already spending on the military and military equipment. That sum alone runs into the billions of dollars a year.]

Khan also refused to turn over millions of dollars in monthly custom fees to the government.In addition, Khan has embraced several former warlords to unify the country.

You can bet many of these stolen millions are going to these warlords and it's not to unify Afghanistan but instead, allow Khan to build a power base for himself and his friends like Karzai.

Folks, our administration condones Afghanistan's corrupt politicians, officials and agencies. The U.S. clearly knows this rampant corruption exists but they continue to squander hundreds of millions of dollars in that country saying they are building the infrastructure. Can you imagine what just one of those blank check payments of ($100 million) dollars could do for our infrastructure here in the good ol' USA? People, that's our tax money and it's being given out like paper monopoly money to these corrupt Afghanistan and Iraq officials without any accountability as to where it is being used.

We citizens in this country are hurting each and every day. We are experiencing significant job losses, high unemployment is over the top, we have bad bridges, bad roads. Our electric grids and water facilities are in disrepair, people and children are starving in this country and standing in food lines and yet our fat, well-fed, well paid politicians and lawmakers continue to dole out billions of dollars to Iraq and Afghanistan.

What does Obama and his minions and both parties in Washington do and say? What they do is continue sending our money to these foreign countries when it is drastically needed right here at home. What does Obama keep saying: He continues with the worn out words "have hope". What a ridiculous posture and stance for a President of the United States to rely on. Folks, every one in this country has hope. They have always had hope. Each and every day every person is this nation hopes for something. It's nice to hope but what we need is "action."

I submit that action will be Obama and the lawmakers making it very clear that this country will not continue spending and squandering billions of our tax dollars on Iraq and Afghanistan and stop pumping millions of dollars into corrupt officials pockets. Bring that money home here to the USA., If the administration still wants to spend those billions, spend it here on U.S. soil. The jobs that money would create here at home would be an economic stimulus bonanza.

My view, stop dumping all this money over there, stop this unrealistic war, bring our troops home and put our military and all that money to work here in the United States.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
