The U.S. military spent nearly a half-billion dollars on providing refurbished aircraft to the Afghan Air Force, only to abandon the contract and leave the planes collecting dust on airfields in Kabul and Germany.
With the planes potentially heading for the trash heap of the Afghanistan war, the chief military watchdog overseeing Afghanistan spending is launching a review into the terminated program.
"I'm very troubled with the fact we may have wasted a half-billion dollars on planes that don't work, will never be flown and will probably be scrapped," Special Inspector General John F. Sopko told FoxNews.com in a statement. "We intend to get to the bottom of this and hold people accountable."

"We intend to get to the bottom of this and hold people accountable."
Yeah, let us know how that works out for us. The rug and the broom are right over there,
That's because they wanted camels not planes LOL
I want to know why we are sending planes to Afghanistan. Screw them Muslims.
Yea just like Benghazi. Put Hillery in charge. She will get to the bottom of it, or say "What difference does it make".
WHY does everyone act so surprised over all this wasteful spending as it has and will always happen and if anything Americans need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and stop Believing these "ALL" Lying Politicians stories they tell you all time after time.
Really 1:30. Americans will completely forget about this in about a week and re-elect the same dolts that did this. Americas short term memory is why we re-elect about 93% of all politicians that run WHILE we complain about how bad they are.
Sounds like some top bigwig defense contractor(s) and their political liasons...not to mention the lobbyists on the payroll...made themselves a nice tidy sum at our expense...AGAIN...
Follow the money. Right back to the filthy rich military-industrial tycoons. Get to the bottom of it? I guess they HAD to say that. With righteous indignation, for effect.
