The news speaks of $34 million for a headquarters in Afghanistan that will never be used. And, $45 million for a repair shop completed just ahead of our plans to leave the country. And, a year ago, we invested $80 million for a consulate home, and signed a 10-year contract, only to decide the location was too vulnerable to attack.
I can wonder if lobbying was behind some of the mismanagement. A contractor make some money, so we go ahead with the project. But maybe not. I do wish news stories would address the possibility.
At any rate, the mismanagement in Afghanistan is obvious. Why? we ask. Why must this be?
