Military Vets Injured in Terror Attacks Say Biden Ignoring Their Sacrifices and Those of Thousands of Other Terrorism Victims

This is no surprise at all. It’s clear that Biden and those who are running him have nothing but contempt for the U.S. military and for the veterans who have given so much to defend the freedoms we have up to now enjoyed as Americans. This money is being funneled instead to insurance companies and to a select group of terror victims who are represented by one of Biden’s cronies. These corrupt kleptocrats always find ways to enrich themselves at the expense of the decent people for whom they have so much contempt.

“Military Vets Injured in Terror Attacks Say Biden Ignoring Their Sacrifices,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, April 13, 2022:

A group of military veterans injured in terrorist attacks says President Joe Biden is ignoring the sacrifices made by the U.S. military and thousands of other terrorism victims by routing billions of dollars in seized Afghan funds to insurance companies and a small group of terror victims represented by a former Biden White House lawyer, according to a letter sent this week to foreign policy leaders in Congress.

The claims are the latest in a feud over $3.5 billion in assets that the United States confiscated from the Afghan Central Bank during the military withdrawal last year. The Biden administration ordered that the funds be used to settle legal judgments against the Taliban brought by September 11 victims and insurance companies. But other U.S. terrorism victims say the funds should go to a federal trust that was created in 2015 to compensate all survivors.

Biden’s executive order “effectively handed over $3.5 billion in previously frozen Afghan funds to a federal judge in New York to distribute to a small group of victims and insurance companies who fortuitously had obtained judgments against the Taliban, instead of directing the money into the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund (USVSST Fund) for all victims to share,” the military veterans wrote in a letter to the leadership of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees….

“This decision ignores the sacrifices made by the U.S. military serving our country abroad and ignores the fundamental premise under which the USVSST was established,” says the letter. “The USVSST was created by Congress to handle the fair and equitable distribution of funds for the benefit of all U.S. terrorism victims, rather than a select group.”…

The letter, signed by over 400 veterans and military families impacted by terrorist attacks, called on lawmakers “to reverse [the Biden administration’s] decision and direct that the Afghan Funds be distributed through the USVSST Fund instead.”
