Kucinich: Afghanistan is ‘spy versus spy carnival of corruption’

In the wake of new revelations by the New York Times of CIA support for a corrupt Afghan official, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) accused the United States of turning Afghanistan into a "spy versus spy versus spy carnival of corruption."

"We are paying all sides to fight all sides and to betray all sides," Kucinich charged in a statement released on Wednesday. "This is further evidence that the United States must remove all its troops and assets out of Afghanistan."

"The tragedy is rapidly becoming a farce," he added. "They call it intelligence, but it is actually an innovative way to steal tens of billions of dollars from the U.S. taxpayers."

1. Let's leave.

That way we'll have enough money to buy their oil when they start to sell it.

2. An "effective strategy in Afghanistan?"

Such discussions are as fraudulent as credit default swaps on mortgage backed collaterallized debt obligations.

3. You truly have to wonder if the banishment of all the foreign security corporations

is just a way for Karzai and his ilk to get $$$ from the USA to start their hire their own security firms. Of course most of that money would find itself in their pockets.
