OTT in Baghdad

One of the buildings in Baghdad that the US seems to have managed to sort out is the new, lush and palatial American embassy. I suppose that there are some who see it as a success story but many others see it as, at best, white elephant. To quote Lawrence Eagleburger, a former Republican Secretary of State: "it is nuts . . . it's insane and it's counterproductive . . . and it won't work".

He was just talking about the embassy, right, as opposed to the entire administration.
