Karzai wants 'at least $2 billion' a year from US
Source: AFP News
Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday said he wanted "at least $2 billion" a year from the United States after it withdraws its troops in 2014.
Karzai said the US should specify in a partnership agreement to be signed between his country and the US how much money it will give to Afghanistan after they leave.
"They (US) say we will give you money, but will not specify the amount. We say give us less, but write it down," Karzai told a group of university professors and students in Kabul.
"We want them to write down that America will give for Afghanistan's security $2 billion a year -- or at least two billion a year", he said. "If they want to give us more, they are welcome."

I'm leaning toward how about you'll get some humanitarian aid that's strictly monitored and accounted for to the penny.

Money rears it's ugly head. Well no surprise, that's what most of this 'war on terror' has been about. Blackwater agents getting on helicopters with duffel bags full of money and they were not the only ones. Billions unaccounted for in all the 'aid' sent to Iraq. Give me a break!
