The present President does not want us to leave till 2014, and the guy who wants to be the next President does not want us to leave at all!

The President has to compromise and negotiate with subversive republicans in order to get anything accomplished. When the GOP wants something, they want it right now. When the President wants something done, it has to be "phased in".

The war faction has two components: the neocon conservatives who think we should constantly be at war with the latest editions of the "enemy" and the defense industry which extracts enormous profits from the American taxpayers. Aint republicans wonderful?

This is appalling. Although these are Afghan Doctors and nurses, we should never have been funding this. Disgusting.

That certainly makes sense. The money allocated for that hospital from the US, obviously isn't put to use there.

This hospital gets way more money than any hospital in Afghanistan. Like all hospitals, the administration pockets the money.

Coming from a country that is running several real life concentration camps outside of law, THIS does not surprise me.

Disgusting beyond words--This is the first time ever that I couldn't look at all the pictures or read the story even---These ridiculous wars won't end until taxpayers can have a checklist of where they want their taxes spent.----What a different world we would have if all war dollars went to feeding the hungry and finding a cure for cancer.

11 Billion dollars . . where is it going because I don't see it being used here?

Inching closer and closer to fascism every day. Not good enought to simply have capital run our lives, we seem to have to include torture into our bag of tricks as well. I really don't think that The People of America will approve of this, and it really seems like The People have already lost control over government. When are we honestly going to expose and challenge the forces that dictate "our way of life"?

There are no words! Every person involved should go to prison!

As a former health care professional I am appalled, as a human being I am saddened and sickened. There is no excuse for this!
