Afghanistan: 'Corruption from day one' - Afghan colonel now in hiding on who he blames for return of the TalibanColonel Hanif Rezai refutes the blame placed upon the Afghan army by Joe Biden for the Taliban's return, telling Sky News the militants' resurgence is down to the weakness of the Afghan leadership and army corruption. Sounds like a football manager, it's always someone else's fault for any defeat... Sounds to me the taliban are better than what was there before get what you deserve The corruption was there because it suited the allied forces. There are always warnings documented that are then leaked here or there to show competence of some sort. The truth speaks for itself. They left the govt there for their own reasons.
