Investigation After US Military Spends $34 Million On Unused Building In Afghanistan

An investigation is being carried out into why the U.S. military spent $34 million constructing a building in Afghanistan that has never been used - and may now be demolished.

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John Sopko,sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and two top generals this week, requesting more information about the project in Helmand Province.

The 64,000-square foot building was commissioned by the Army in February 2010 to be the Command and Control Facility for Regional Command Southwest during the surge.

I think Jim Ireton pulled some strings with his buddy Obama and they were building another mega station palace for the paid firemen in Salisbury. It was free money anyway.

Rather than thinking that these people are idiots for ordering the construction of a building that never gets used, think of them as geniuses, who needed a project to help them embezzle money.
