The United States is spending $92 million to build Afghanistan a new "Pentagon," a massive five-story military headquarters with domed roofs and a high-tech basement command in the capital of Kabul.
  "Once it's finished, it will be a permanent and a very significant illustration of the United State's support for Afghanistan," Afghan Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak said in an interview, the Washington Post reported.
  The United States is still working its way through a $10 billion menu of construction projects aimed at bolstering the Afghan security forces. Of the 1,150 buildings planned, more than 600 have been completed, with a total value of $4 billion.
