Strange way to build support for continued Afghan freedom intervention by a US tax payers funded puppet.


Afghan President Thanks the Pentagon … and U.S. Taxpayers

Mark Thompson March 23, 2015
Ashraf Ghani stops by Defense Department to acknowledge U.S. sacrifices

Nearly 14 years after the U.S. military forced the Taliban out of power in Afghanistan, the country’s new leader showed up bright and early Monday morning in the Pentagon courtyard to thank American troops and taxpayers for their sacrifices for his country.
Unlike Hamid Karzai, who served as Afghanistan’s president from 2004 to 2014, Ashraf Ghani is far more accommodating to U.S. concerns. He thanked the 2,215 U.S. troops who died in Afghanistan, the 20,000 wounded, and the nearly 1 million who served there.

U.S. Funds Used to Buy Villas for Wealthy Afghans

Brigadier General Mohammed Asif Jabarkhel sits with folded arms in his office, just a few steps away from the security checkpoint at Kabul International Airport. "Of course I know what's going on here," the 59-year-old head of the airport's customs police grumbles from beneath his thick moustache as a fan whirs in the background. "But, in this country, who's allowed to speak the truth?"

A number of Afghan businesspeople have purchased expensive villas in Dubai, once only attractive as a golfer's paradise. These include a brother and a cousin of Afghan President

You are refusing to answer a simple question here.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post5820351

Your chosen posting activity, and lack of it, indicates you oppose a lawful and peaceful revolution.

I think it would take far fewer sincere Americans than any other proposal which all have a far less significant outcome because it is working with prime constitutional intent that all sincere Americans will recognize.

To present opposing views, it should be noted that not everyone shares sentiments of the visiting Afghan president.

March 24, 2015 The Obama administration changed course on its Afghanistan withdrawal plan on Tuesday, saying that it would keep the 9,800 U.S. troops—half of which it had planned to remove in coming months—stationed there through 2015.
President Obama had pledged to reduce the number of remaining troops this year, and remove nearly all by the time he leaves office. During a closed-door meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani asked the president to delay the scheduled withdrawal of troops, who have been supporting the Afghan government in its fight against Taliban insurgents since the installation of a coalition government last fall.
