Nooooo! Haven't we spent enough on them already? What could $500 million do here at home getting people back to work?

KABUL (AFP) – The United States is bolstering its presence in Afghanistan with a 500 million dollar expansion of its Kabul embassy and the construction of two consulates, it announced Wednesday.

Washington's Kabul embassy is already its biggest in the world, with about 1,100 employees, projected to rise to 1,200 by the end of the year, officials said.

Hundreds have arrived over the course of this year as part of a "civilian surge" bringing development experts into the country to compliment the military effort already in its 10th year.

Looks like the US plans on staying in Afghanistan for a long time.

I wonder why? While we're spending ourselves into oblivion making enemies, China is rising to overtake us, and they don't have 1 billion enemies like we do.
