Obama must have been directly in charge. Clearly no one else could have failed this bad.

"The cost of $43m is far larger than the estimated cost of building natural gas stations in other countries - which ranges from $200,000 to $500,000.
By comparison, a similar project in Pakistan was estimated to cost only $306,000."

Oh wait, he spent $500,000,000 on 50 Syrian Rebels😂

What a waste! 😂 😂

The extremely costly gas station is the latest blunder exposed by SIGAR regarding the U.S. government’s spending in Afghanistan. Earlier this year, SIGAR found that the U.S. spent $335 million on a power plant no one uses. Despite the billions of U.S. dollars spent on reconstruction in Afghanistan, including counternarcotics programs, the country still has the equivalent of 400,000 football fields worth of opium, Sopko said in May.

How the hell is it even possible to spend $43 million on a gas station.

That's so true. That money could've been used to feed a lot of people.

Thats enough money to buy thousands of people food for a few years.

Someone in Obamas DOD was cutting the checks. That means there is corruption on our end or plain stupidity.

I can't fathom this type of waste.

Why can't this kind of money be put towards Medicare, or the Va!??

Add this to Obamas legacy.

The most expensive gas station built in history which will be blown up within 6 months.

This makes me wish I could find this one book I have..in one part it lists all these government blunders from the last century. For instance we've purchased land that it turned out we already owned.

Also what do you mean he spent $500 million on 50 rebels?

Sorry it was 4 or 5, not 50...

I don't quite understand how training 5 people costs half a billion? Did we figure out the Super Soldier Serum or some shit? No that can't be it because even Obama wouldn't be dumb enough to give the SSS to Syrian rebels.

I know how to get one over on them now. Prevent them from getting any shipments of any medicines like "tums". Let their worry destroy them from the inside! Pepto Bismol? How about Pepto BisNO.
