Big Fight Brewing Over Unspent Billions From Afghanistan

by Market FinancePosted onAugust 30, 2021August 30, 2021

Now that were out of Afghanistan there is billions left over, what now?

President Joe Biden’s decision to pull out of Afghanistan has left the Pentagon with over $6 billion that was supposed to be used to train the Afghan military. Now politicians are preparing to go to war over how to use those funds.

According to Bloomberg, The Defense Department’s Comptroller is meeting with members of Congress to decide how to allocate the newly freed up money

Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood said, “DOD will work with the congressional defense committees to determine the most appropriate use for those funds.”

According to Fox Business, Republican Rep. Rob Wittman wants to spend that money to begin building a “robust counterterrorism” operation.

“We have abandoned all of that,” Wittman warned. “Think about this. Think about the equipment that we left behind in the hands of the Taliban. So that’s another opportunity that they have to do harm against us and our friends.” 

On the other hand progressives want the $6 billion to go to refugees who are attempting to flee Afghanistan.

“Redirecting these $6 billion to finance evacuations, refugee resettlement and much-needed humanitarian assistance, for example, could spell the difference between life and death for countless Afghans,” said Kate Kizer. “After two decades of occupation, tens of thousands of lives lost and millions more displaced, it would be an insult to the people of Afghanistan to turn around and use the funds freed up by their government’s collapse to double down on weapons and war.”
