Over 18 years of the war in Afghanistan, officials from three administrations have consistently misled the public.
. With the expectation of anonymity, the dozens of officials interviewed were far blunter in their assessments than they were in public. As John Sopko, the inspector general in charge of SIGAR, told the Post, the documents show that the “the American people have constantly been lied to.”
But Rumsfeld’s Pentagon continued to suppress reports of growing opposition to the U.S.-backed Afghan governments and released reports touting the “multitude of good news” coming out of the country’s reconstruction. “Our biggest single project, sadly and inadvertently, of course, may have been the development of mass corruption,” Crocker says, summing up the U.S. mission. Christopher Kolenda, an Army colonel who served as adviser to three commanders in Afghanistan tells the interviewers that “by 2006, the Afghan government had self-organized into a kleptocracy.
Former U.S. military officers were withering in their assessments of the Afghan security forces they were training, with one calling them “the bottom of the barrel” and another estimating that about a third of them were “either drug addicts or Taliban.”
