It's getting harder everyday to tell whether the Biden-Harris administration runs on corruption or simple incompetence. Though it could be a combination of both.
Perfect example right here.
Now, Just the News is implying that the Taliban has received this money. They may well be correct — the Taliban essentially runs Afghanistan — though we really can't confirm that.
According to a report filed by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction,
The Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021 led to humanitarian and economic crises, including discrimination and violence against women and girls, a lack of financial liquidity, and economic instability. Aid organizations initially struggled to mitigate these crises because of concerns related to the restrictions posed by existing sanctions against the Taliban and its members dating back to 1999. To ‘ensure that U.S. sanctions do not prevent or inhibit transactions and activities needed to provide aid to and support the basic human needs of the people of Afghanistan and underscores the United States' commitment … to support the people of Afghanistan', OFAC issued seven [General Licenses] from September 2021 through February 2022, and issued implementing guidance explaining the exceptions to U.S. sanctions intended to facilitate the provision of aid to the Afghan people.
Sounds pretty hunky-dory.
Until you read this next part:
We found that three bureaus — Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA); Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM); and South and Central Asian Affairs, Office of Press and Public Diplomacy (SCA/PPD) — complied with State partner vetting requirements. However, two bureaus — Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) and International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) — could not demonstrate their compliance with partner vetting requirements because they were unable to provide supporting documentation for many of their respective awards. Collectively, State could not demonstrate their compliance with its partner vetting requirements on awards that disbursed at least $293 million in Afghanistan.
"At least $293 million" in unvetted Afghanistan aid money.
(I'm not sure if the news reports accidentally flipped that $293 million to $239 million or what, but the point is that hundreds of millions likely went to terrorists that we sent our sons to go fight for 20 years.)
Makes you wonder where that money went, doesn't it?
