Watchdog Details $30B Waste in Afghanistan Reconstruction

Watchdog Details $30B Waste in Afghanistan Reconstruction

In this episode, we break down a new watchdog report revealing that nearly $30 billion of the $145 billion the U.S. spent on rebuilding Afghanistan was wasted on failed projects, corruption, and mismanagement, and we explain how those failures undermined infrastructure, security forces, and counter-narcotics efforts. We also explore what this final assessment of the Afghanistan reconstruction effort teaches about the dangers of large-scale nation-building and the lessons U.S. policymakers are urged to carry into any future foreign interventions.
