Forum: Internet Links Topic: $43M gas station started by: Malcolm Posted by Malcolm on Nov. 02 2015,10:15
Who paid for it? < Like you even had to ask >.QUOTE The Task Force struck a contract with Central Asian Engineering, which received just under $3 million from the U.S. government to construct the Sheberghan gas station. Sopko noted the cost of building a similar gas station in neighboring Pakistan is no more than $500,000.
But the final tab in Sheberghan would turn out to be astronomically higher. The Task Force spent $42,718,739 between 2011 and 2014 to "fund the construction and to supervise the initial operation of the CNG station," the U.S. military told SIGAR -- with "approximately $12.3 million in direct costs and $30 million in overhead costs."

Every time I see a story like that, I wonder what illegal operation that money really funded.
