Read The Afghanistan Papers to see how the U.S. government systematically misled the American public about the war and responses from people who experienced the conflict firsthand.
- PART 1: At war with the truth
U.S. officials constantly said they were making progress. They were not, and they knew it.
- PART 2: Stranded without a strategy
Bush and Obama had polar-opposite plans to win the war. Both were destined to fail.
- PART 3: Built to fail
Despite vows the U.S. wouldn’t get mired in “nation-building,” it has wasted billions doing just that
- PART 4: Consumed by corruption
The U.S. flooded the country with money — then turned a blind eye to the graft it fueled
- PART 5: Unguarded nation
Afghan security forces, despite years of training, were dogged by incompetence and corruption
- PART 6: Overwhelmed by opium
The U.S. war on drugs in Afghanistan has imploded at nearly every turn
