Another reason you don't hear much from the White House about Afghanistan these days: The UN in Afghanistan says not a penny of the money the international community has pledged for elections due in September has been handed over. It says that if the funds do not come through soon, the vote is in danger of being further delayed. The polls were originally supposed to happen this month. The warning relates to money promised for the actual voting process - to buy items such as voting screens and ballot papers and hiring electoral staff.
