Vets Furious After Watchdog Group Reveals U.S. Funds Being Sent To TalibanConservative Brief by Carmine Sabia August 3, 2024
A government watchdog group that follows Afghanistan has made a startling discovery of cash from the United States government directly benefitting the Taliban.
The United States military bravely fought, and many died, in the conflict with the Taliban that spanned more than two decades after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
And now the group discovered that, via the United Nations, more than $3.8 billion in U.S. tax dollars have gone into the nation, The New York Post reported.
“At times, this includes the UN literally flying US cash into Afghanistan through transportation firms, per the report,” The Post said.
“While that money is typically then moved to UN partners in Afghanistan, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) found that the US cash flow has both ‘directly and indirectly’ benefited the Taliban,” The Post said.
“The humanitarian assistance facilitated by the shipments provide indirect benefits to the Taliban by stabilizing and legitimizing them, because the funds allow the Taliban to focus on their priorities and policies instead of providing essential services to the Afghan people,” the SIGAR report said.
