An incoherent strategy doomed the 20-year US mission in Afghanistan, a watchdog group says. The scathing report describes incompetence, graft, obfuscation and wishful thinking.
An incoherent strategy to rebuild Afghanistan, flush with resources but lacking cohesive leadership and a well-defined mission, doomed the 20-year US reconstruction effort that saw American taxpayers pour $145 billion into projects that were often unsustainable, corrupt, and forced through on unrealistic timelines.
The conclusions from the latest report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction offer a scathing criticism of the US mission in Afghanistan just as the Biden administration is struggling to evacuate Americans and Afghans from the Kabul airport in a chaotic rush to the exits. The report, titled"What We Need to Learn: Lessons from Twenty Years of Afghanistan Reconstruction," points to how much work remains.
