Congress Will Probe Bribes to Democratic Senators Afghan Warlords

Congress will probe bribes to ~~Democratic Senators~~ Afghan warlords.
FOX News reported:

Congress is investigating allegations that U.S. tax dollars are being paid to warlords and the Taliban for security on supply routes used to truck food, water, fuel and ammunition to American troops in Afghanistan.

If the allegations are true, then the U.S. would be unintentionally involved in a protection racket and indirectly financing the enemy, Rep. John Tierney, the Massachusetts Democrat leading the inquiry, said Wednesday.

The Obama administration is escalating the U.S. mission in Afghanistan amid concerns that corruption throughout the country is a major roadblock to progress.

Bribes and kickbacks are frequently used to do business there, raising worries among many Democrats on Capitol Hill that the U.S. investment will fall short of stabilizing Afghanistan’s shaky government.

It’s a good thing bribes and kickbacks aren’t “frequently used to do business here,” huh?

However, Congress will not be probing the bribes to ~~Democratic Warlords~~ ~~Afghan Senators~~ Democratic Senators for their Obamacare vote.

Bribery is bribery, put both the giver and getter in jail.

What the heck, it just means they print a little MORE funny money.

However, China may have something to say about this policy:

No man thinks bribes are the best tactic b/c the Rules of Engagement don’t allow US troops to shoot until the convoy has been destroyed.

This topic was discussed on an “alternative news” site the other day. The gist of it was that actually in giving money to the Taliban in the form of bribes, Obama is aiding and abetting the enemy, which indeed is treason.
