So at the expense of some $100m or something they GAVE afghani's gas powered cars... but then still nobody turned up to the gas station because they couldn't afford the gas.
So they gave them all VISA cards and started putting money into it each month so that people could use the gas powered cars they just gave them at the gas station they just built.
Not even joking.
Sorry I think this was it... it's hard to find now... he does the same kind speech every 6 months or so... lol
