That's $2 billion just for security purposes. Afghanistan also wants $1.5bn for reconstruction projects and an additional $500m for administrative costs. Wars have consequences. Still think the Afghan war was worth it? Lost soldiers, lost money, lost reputation; gained another antagonistic leader of the middle east to contend with.
Just think. Karzai wants nearly all of the money that will be brought in by the Buffett Rule. You know $4.7 billion a year. Since that pittance won't do one thing to help our deficit maybe we should just give it all to him.
Well, Bush broke it and we have to pay for it. Do you guys want the Taliban to be in control again? Pay up suckas.
once we leave they already will so might as well save 2 billion and has he asked the taliban for money because they came over the pakistan border to fight and plant IEDs... So they owe half of what ever he is asking so he better go collect from them.
