Afghan watchdog: US taxpayer-funded weapons left behind have formed 'core of the Taliban security apparatus'
US military fully withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021 under the Biden administration

By Greg Norman Fox News

The final report from a government watchdog tasked with overseeing Afghanistan reconstruction efforts declared that "U.S. taxpayer-funded equipment, weapons, and facilities" left behind during the chaotic 2021 U.S. withdrawal have now "formed the core of the Taliban security apparatus."

The 137-page document released this week from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) states that Congress provided approximately $144.7 billion for Afghanistan reconstruction between 2002 to 2021, as part of a mission promising to bring stability and democracy to the country, "yet ultimately delivered neither."

"Due to the Taliban takeover, SIGAR was unable to inspect any of the equipment provided to, or facilities constructed for, the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) following the Afghan government’s collapse," the report said. "However, DOD determined that the United States left behind approximately $7.1 billion in material and equipment it had given to the ANDSF."

"Similarly, any remaining ANDSF facilities that were not destroyed, can be assumed to be under Taliban control. These U.S. taxpayer-funded equipment, weapons, and facilities have formed the core of the Taliban security apparatus," it added.

Last year, US troops stationed in Syria and Iraq were targeted with 81-mm mortars that came from Afghanistan.

Yep, and many of those those vehicles and weapons leached out to Iran and its proxies too.
