As Americans struggle to make ends meet, as the current economic climate
is anything but healthy, the Obama Regime is pumping millions of
dollars into foreign companies that finance attacks on Americans.
Surely, there is a better use for our money than financing terrorism
against our own people.
The national debt is just over $17.1 trillion dollars. Specifically, it
is $17,162,395,935,482.18- or, at least it was when this article was
written. In the time it took to type the numbers, the U.S. borrowed
another $195,976. By this time tomorrow, the national debt will have
increased by roughly $2,690,000,000.
We our hemorrhaging money at an astonishing rate and saddling Americans
with unconscionable debt. A million here, a million there-money we don’t
have is tossed around and thrown away like dropped pennies in a parking
lot while our “leaders” not only refuse to make any meaningful changes
to our unsustainable economic model, but make future plans for how to
enlarge government and spend even more money.
And while that may seem like a betrayal of Americans, it cannot compare
to the fact that America has given $150 million to groups that fund
terrorists actions against Americans.
In our nation’s Quixotic quest to make the world love us, the U.S. has
been funding terrorism against Americans. In a report by the Special
Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, the Pentagon has
admitted that we are subsidizing at least 43 companies that are linked
to Taliban leaders who have targeted and arranged attacks on Americans.
“It’s like the United States government subsidizing the
Taliban, al Qaeda, the Haqqani network, those groups that are trying to
shoot and kill our soldiers,” New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne
Shaheen stated.
The Haqqani network is responsible for the 2011 attack on the American
embassy in Kabul that left 16 dead. The Haqqani Network, rather than
receiving money directly from the U.S., receives its money from a road
construction company owned by the Haqqani Network that received a
government contract from the U.S.
However, this is merely one such example of the U.S. funding terrorism;
in all, the Pentagon report lists 43 private companies that receive
government money and fund terrorism.
“The reason they’ve given us is that it’s not fair to these
contractors that the evidence that we’ve presented, and this is evidence
collected by the United States government, is classified,” said Special
Inspector General John Sopko.
“That’s the absurdity of it. We can probably attack them via drone on
Monday and we’ll issue them a contract on Tuesday,” Sopko continued.
Though the report’s revelations are startling, the Pentagon has been
unwilling to immediately pull the contracts due to bureaucratic red
tape. The Army has, however, released a statement saying that they will
not be issuing new contracts to the companies. The statement also
stopped short of indicating that they will be taking any steps to remove
the contracts.
“The army takes seriously any allegations of improper contractor
activities and has vigorous processes to ensure that those with whom we
do business are not supporting the insurgency or otherwise opposing U.S.
and collation forces in Afghanistan,” the statement said.
It seems the take-away message for terrorist groups is: If your attacks
on Americans are being subsidized by America, we will take a good, long
look at whether or not we will continue to fund your attacks. We mean
it.
The Obama Administration has made many claims about Republicans being
terrorists, bullies and other various slanderous accusations. If the
Obama Administration is even remotely interested in stopping real
terrorism, the first step should be to, as obvious as it may seem, stop
funding companies that are fronts for terrorist organizations.
