Luxury villas & fancy Italian goats: US counts cost of ‘abysmal’ Afghan investment
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John Sopko, has testified to the House about a comically disastrous US business startup program that cost $800 million and has produced almost nothing in return.
The Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO) is a Pentagon division that focused not on war, but on rebuilding the decimated economies of first Iraq, and then Afghanistan, and Sopko has been auditing it since 2012.
