FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In an exclusive interview with Press TV on Sunday, California State University Professor Paul Sheldon Foote said the United States is wasting a huge amount of money in Afghanistan like it did during Vietnam war.
“I had a student who had a friend over there in the military who said he blew up half a million dollars worth of ammunitions in one half of a day in Afghanistan. Money is being burned,” Sheldon Foote added.
He made the remarks in reference to a recent audit report of the office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq reconstruction (SIGIR), which suggested that much of the USD 51 billion in taxpayers’ money provided to rebuild war-torn Iraq has gone down the drain as a result of fraud and theft.
Serious weakness in the US government’s control over the reconstruction funds put billions of dollars at risk of wastage and misappropriation, the office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) said in a final audit report.
“We’re now talking big time billions that have probably filled the bank accounts of many Americans and Iraqis and others elsewhere. So, many of the people who are warmongers in this country championing wars have probably been well repaid by now,” Sheldon Foote continued.
The California University professor reiterated that the US has squandered money in all its wars and the waste of resources in Iraq is now on a “grander scale.”
“We have a long history in America of these kinds of things. Books were written decades ago with titles like The Spoilers of Democracy ; I saw it personally in Vietnam the massive fraud and theft, double-billing by suppliers, waste of resources, stealing – It’s just now on a grander scale,” he opined.
