The U.S. is spending billions of dollars to build facilities for Afghanistan's expanding national police and new garrisons for its army.

Now there’s talk from the Obamites of extended Afghanistan activity, and some talk of winning it, but I don’t put much stock in Liberals understanding of that word personally.

Wondering what Lefties are making the BIG BUCKS off of these contracting deals in Afghanistan. That might be something to look into for those that know their way around a computer, and the internet better than this old non-geek.

It would probably be the answer as to the change of direction from Obama, and his previous desire to withdraw in July.
