Why is U.S. military spending so much for fuel in Iraq
We've all winced at recent prices at the pump and here's more reason to wince.
U.S. forces in Iraq are spending almost as much as we are.
The Pentagon says the military is spending about $153 million dollars a month in Iraq on fuel -- that includes gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
U.S. authorities say Iraq's oil revenue could approach $60 billion dollars this year.
Democratic Sen. Carl Levin and Republican John Warner are asking why taxpayers are footing a large part of Iraq's reconstruction costs at a time the country's earning billions from oil.
