An empty pledge if it were really made. The current budget calls for nothing for Afghanistan

Thanks for the info. That's obviously ridiculous. Do you know how much has been pledged or actually sent? The media is off the subject.

Not very empty. $742M+ spent on Afghanistan humanitarian assistance between 2001 - 2003 (2002: ~$531M, 2003: ~$26M thusfar). FY 2004 budget earmarks $657 million for Afghanistan.

"An empty pledge if it were really made. The current budget calls for nothing for Afghanistan. Time to send Sally Struthers over."
