HE SAYS IT AS IF IT'S A BAD THING:

Imperial Neglect in Afghanistan (Mike Whitney, 8/21/04, The Progressive Trail)

Afghanistan's reconstruction has been woefully under funded with much of the resources devoted to the basic security apparatus provided for American stooge, Hamid Karzai. Other than that, improvements have depended mainly on the efforts of the citizens themselves.

So in Afghanistan, the US has spent money on security instead of reconstruction and that's wrong. Meanwhile in Iraq, the US has spent money on reconstruction instead of security and that's wrong.

I think I see a pattern here.
