The Arab world is going to Hell in a hand basket!  The media has finally decided that something may be a story there….when it was Tunisia it was a spot on the news with little commentary….but NOW it is Egypt and by God the world has to pay attention……and it is spreading to Yemen and Jourdan….two more American client states……it could effect OIL and we know Americans would have DTs if that were the case……

But a little reported story of another of America’s client states is just a smear on a news crawler……Afghanistan.  What is the big deal there…I mean besides a costly war that is killing and maiming people shittin’ and goin’?

From a report in the NYT….

Fraud and mismanagement at Afghanistan’s largest bank have resulted in potential losses of as much as $900 million — three times previous estimates — heightening concerns that the bank could collapse and trigger a broad financial panic in Afghanistan, according to American, European and Afghan officials.  The extent of these losses make it clear that keeping the bank afloat — something the government has said it is determined to do — would require large infusions of cash from an already strained budget.

Infusion of cash?  What does that mean?  Will we American taxpayers being helping another set of bankers get richer?  And where did the bulk of the $900 million come from?  What in that country is worth $900 million short of the poppy fields, that is?

How much of the missing cash came on the backs of American taxpayers?  How will the Congress hide their large infusion of cash to Afghanistan?  Since the GOP is all ahead full with their slashing and demonize social programs….which ones will be effected by any help to Afghanistan?  Maybe education, God knows it is not that important in the first place….maybe you Medicare….or your Social Security…….who will be effected in the country’s rush to prop up another bank…only this one will be in Afghanistan and not on Wall Street….
