-e- Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 More and more details appear about the US-led campaign against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, spending of American authorities on the operation, to be exact. As it turned out, Washington spent 70 million dollar to bribe Afghanistan field commanders, this is the explanation how the USA managed to crash Taliban so quickly. This information is published in the book "Bush At War" by American journalist Bob Woodward. At that, the sum of 70 million dollars doesn't seem so great if we consider the total spending of the US Administration on the war campaign in Afghanistan. According to some sources, as of now the spending exceeds 10 billion dollars already. And the sun is even increasing, as the US troops are still in Afghanistan.

Sip Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 What's the topic? I see it as money well spent ---Edit: I am referring to the 70 mil spent bribing the field commanders to make the war end sooner.

-e- Posted November 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 You know what Sadam and Osama did with their millions. They too were supported by the U.S. . For every dollar Americans gave to Sadam, thousands of more will be returned. Junior wants a war, so he could get his hands on a free Iraqi oil. What more one can ask for!?! Millions of innocent people die while the big guys play a war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-e- Posted November 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Did anyone ever say be part of what we are discussing? In fact, you were told that the life goes on-and your accusations of me diverting and hidding are baseless. So what's eating you now?
