I work for Naval Facilities Engineering Command and I know how the Military Construction program is planned, programmed and budgeted for. After the Congress appropriates a certain $$$ amount for military construction, they also approve individual construction projects that the military has submitted to Congress. They generally allow the projects that have ranked high in the military departments that fit within the top line of the Military Construction (MILCON) appropriation. In other words the military decides which projects to construct and which ones not to. State Dept. can't be any different. State takes the top line amount, prioritizes their projects and funds the construction. The question is then why would Security construction projects be ranked so low and other projects higher? Here we are talking about a middle east muslim country that just overthrew their dictator with NATO and U.S. support and their security projects didn't rate high enough on the list? That's on State.
