It's interesting how you personally blame Obama for military projects made at not-even-close to presidential levels, and something that the President does not even have control over?
Shouldn't this be a call for more oversight/reform of military procurement and spending? Or is blaming the factors actually involved too hard?
And we've had terrorist attacks on US assets without blaming the various presidents before, yes. Because most of the time, the president really doesn't have anything to do with the details like precise location of assets or security measures.
The President decides stuff like 'do we go to war and with whom,' and 'what high-level strategic plan gets used'. Congress has more say in this budget/procurement stuff, and even then, it's many layers removed.
Except that it happened during Prez Obama's tenure in office so he must take some of the share of blame. Like Prez W.Bush being held the same way with the WTC attack.

Most people don't blame Bush for the WTC bombing so much as they blame the FBI/CIA for basically ignoring the repeated warnings from other international intelligence agencies that an attack was imminent. What people do blame Bush for, and rightfully so, was the following response. "A bunch of Saudis blew up our buildings, let's go kick over Iraq!"

Especially when doing so only makes the situation 10 times worse.

Re: The worlds first $43 million dollar gas station
What TI neglects to mention:
" Sopko said billions of U.S. dollars have been wasted to date in Afghanistan. In its quarterly report to Congress, released Friday, SIGAR said the U.S. has provided $8.4 billion for counter-narcotics efforts in Afghanistan since 2002, yet the country remains the world's leading producer of opium."
This is from his first source, the one from Fox news, great source.
Anyways, do tell us who was in presidency during 2002, that's the person that truly screwed the US population.
I haven't even dug through all your sources, let alone do my own research on the matter, so for now I can't comment on the main issue.
Trillion+ spent, ten of thousands of lives lost, an unstable Iraq and a sodomized economy all for a personal vendetta and so some people's stocks could go up
edit: My error, deaths were in the hundred thousands range
