Report: Pentagon Spent $43 Million on Gas Station in Afghanistan 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Pentagon spent nearly $43 million on a gas station in northern
Afghanistan. A U.S. special inspector general says the Obama
administration has not explained why it spent so much taxpayer money on
the project. The station was built as part of an effort to show cars in
Afghanistan could run on compressed natural gas. The Pentagon says it
lacks the "personnel expertise" to address questions about the $43
million pricetag.
