Afghanistan's push to tax U.S. contractors could renew tensions
2011-01-17
The Afghan government is ramping up efforts to tax U.S. contractors operating there - an effort that could raise millions for Karzai and his hangers on the cash-strapped government but could also provoke fresh confrontation with the United States, according to U.S. and Afghan officials.
Does Afghanistan now have a Democratic party?

In any case, if they stopped "diverting" half of it, they would be just fine.

#3  publicly announce that we (and any contractors) will not be providing security for Karzai and certain Cabinet members.

#2  Afghanistan's push to tax U.S. contractors could renew tensions

Could "renew" the rush for US Contractors to submit Air Movement Requests (AMR's) out of theater also. RU, East Euro and Bangladouche international jobs program participants TCN's work harder and more effeciently anyway.

The very best thing that we do in Assghanistan is LEAVE as soon as possible. Just my humble opinion.

#1  Simply charge him back for the security and the blood we spilled trying to make his corrupt state workable.
