The program will be funded by a "Peace and Reintegration Trust Fund," dubbed the "Taliban Trust Fund" by many, that will cost $500 Million over five years.
"As important as our military mission is, we know that force alone cannot achieve our goals," Clinton said. Wow! This should rank right up there with Cash for Clunkers!
Well, Congress buys votes, so buying a few hundred thousand crazed Taliban should be a cake walk, right?

I believe the Beatles had a song called CAN'T BUY ME LOVE.
If all their leaders were dead, and most of their members were dead, what other goals is she talking about?
The same can possibly work in Afghanistan. The Taliban were cruel rulers, but their alliance with al Qaeda was one of convenience. The Taliban didn't plan attacks against the US on our soil, al Qaeda did.
Negotiations to bring the Taliban into a political solution in which they don't ally themselves with al Qaeda and don't seek violent overthrow is about the only way we'll be able to bring our troops home.
If 500 million over five years sounds like a lot, consider that our spending on the war in Afghanistan right now is almost one million $ per year for each single armed soldier we have there. This money is chickenfeed if it works.
duh...yes...
I do not actually understand this writing. I know if one wants to loose weight, one must have a reason and, most of all, a desire. This reason and desire comes from the individual. The reason and desire, in this case, is the afgan regime. Yes, send me the money, but if I do not have the reason and desire, my weight will remain the same, only with a larger source of income. Please, send me the money. Bye: Adam Troy
