U.S. military describes its mistakes in Afghanistan

The
Kajaki Dam project, shown here, has become a symbol of unsuccessful
U.S. development efforts in Afghanistan, having consumed hundreds of
millions of dollars without operation. “I think building the pyramids in
Giza were faster,” says John F. Sopko, the chief auditor of U.S.
spending in that country. Washington has been subsidizing a supply of
diesel fuel to replace the electricity the dam was supposed to provide.
